Hillshade and slope for DEMs

DEMs now have their own display options in the layer panel, so you can read terrain without exporting to another tool.

  • Hillshade: set the sun by azimuth and altitude, or pick a date, time of day, and time zone. Adjust vertical exaggeration to bring out subtle relief.
  • Slope: color the surface by slope with a colormap and a slope range you control, or fit the range to your data.

Raster uploads also got clearer. Files are checked before they upload, and when a file has a problem you see what's wrong and how to fix it. Point cloud, raster, and vector layers now show their CRS in the same place in the layer panel.
