In my previous tutorial, I have shown how to create topography from an elevation grid in Leapfrog Geo. Now, let’s continue the Leapfrog Geo tutorial with importing the shapefile to Leapfrog. It is very easy to bring shapefile to LF. In this tutorial, I am using the tutorial data that you can download for free.
Before we can import or export in Leapfrog, make sure you’ve created a new project and open the project. We are going to import a shapefile for our project. You can both import points or polyline shapefile. To import the shapefile, please follow these steps.
- Right-click GIS data, maps, and photos
- Select Import Vector Data
- Browse the shapefile in the following folder: Leapfrog Geo Tutorial Data >> Map
- Select the shapefile and click Open
You can change the name or select fields to import in the next step.
In a few moments, your new shapefile should be imported. You should see it under the GIS data, maps, and photos.
