    Pm me the coordinates of your Geo. tiff (ie. n51_w003_1arc) and the site you downloaded it from and I will see what is going on with this continuing 'whiteout'.

    I sent it. I downloaded for USGS Earth Explorer.

    @c.christensen98, see the note in the Microdem section of the tutorial

    Note:
    Some SRTM’a display a completely white images in Google Earth, if this happens open the SRTM in Microdem and follow the above steps to modify the Display Parameters.

    I have done so, and at the z-range portion, it makes the DEM appear all white again when I do the conversion. In this case, my DEM when clicking specified has values of (Min - 674, Max - 2000). When doing the math for the giants editor that would put the terrain between 85 - 255. I am wondering if after putting in the new z-range if the DEM should look completely white or not.

    @WrinkleysRule Is it common for DEM's to just appear as a white or black image? I find that when I download my .tif files and DEM's following the tutorial, it seems like they don't apply right away, and when importing them into google earth, it shows up as a blank white square.

    Did you follow the new tutorial for Blender 2.93 and above on page three of this topic.

    Oh wow, I had no clue that there was a new tutorial. This is great news! Thank you for directing me, I appreciate that a lot.

    I suppose another question I had is that in Google Earth Pro, when selecting and highlighting roads and turning sunlight as low as possible, it highlights the roads correctly, but it appears that there is no way to turn off the roads from being labeled (despite ensuring that all labels are off beside roads). Is this just a downfall of current versions of google earth?

    I stopped using microdem as I couldn't get it to work correctly with the OS CRS 27700.

    I now use QGIS for any dems needed which is a fully functioning geospatial programme and allows all sorts of plugins including Google Earth/Open Street map overlays

    It takes a bit of getting used to but is worth it in the end.

    PM me the 1m grid references and I will merge them up into a tif and png file for you if you want

    Will also PM you regarding QGIS --

    Hey Wrinkleys! I have been working hard the past few days to follow your DEM mapping tutorial and I finally was able to get the weights in (for the most part), and get the border into the map. However, I was having trouble getting my border to align with the terrain of my map. It appears that the border I used in blender didn't end up having any kind of depth (remained completely flat after importing into giants editor). Is there a common issue you may know of, or why this may happen? The area is relatively flat, so I figured that could be a part of it, but there are some rolling hills and whatnot, so I imagined there would be some kind of difference in height.
