Wishes and desires...

Posted by Kevin at January 20. 2010

Hey Nick,


I have a couple of requests... 


Any chance that you could add a function to the properties window of a tab file that would extract (create) a point WRG from a full WRG already in your project (as an alternative to the "load point wrg" button)?


Also, the ability to extract values from a raster or rasters (elevation, wind speed, roughness, etc...) based on a point layer would be quite helpful.  If your project contains a point layer, DEM, wind speed raster, roughness raster, etc, it would be nice to be able to create a table of the extracted values of one or more of the rasters at the point locations.


Hope all is well.


-Kevin

Hey Kevin,


I am not sure what the value of this would be. You do not need to load a point WRG and any point WRG created from the TAB file or met mast layer would have the same mean wind speeds as the TAB file/met mast layer and so would have zero effect.


I think you might be able to already do much of what you want to do by double-right clicking on a point in a WRG and creating a fake met mast. Also, you can browse multiple rasters simultaneously by holding the cursor over a point and then using the cursor keys to select the different layers you are interested in.


Maybe send me an example of what the output you're looking for would look like so I can better understand.


Nick
