I am struggling to produce a terrian file with RAS Mapper.

I have a .tif file produced from a .asc raster elevation and when I tried to add a New Terrain Model as described in the documentation I get the following error:

Error creating Terrain: Input string was not in a correct format.

enter image description here

I have gone through all options related with the file paths and it seems to be something with the file itself, but what?

Among the many ways I have tried to produce it I am using GRASS.

The source of the raster data:

The command to produce the tif file:

r.out.gdal input=DTM2plus_2-18882@MA output=R:\6_GIS\DTM2plus_2-1882B.tif format=GTiff

  • Try to change the minus '-' in your output raster name to underscore: "_".

It was the 32 bits of the image by default that had to be set to 64 bits:

r.out.gdal input=DTM2plus_2-18882@MA output=R:\6_GIS\62_A_Data\DTM2plus_2-1882C.tif format=GTiff type=Float64 nodata=-9999
