Appendix E. Creating a New Elevation Correction Layer

To create a new Elevation Correction layer, to contain corrections specific to a single area, do the following:

  • Use Layer menu, New Shapefile Layer

  • Choose Type Polygon

  • Define a new field (to hold the elevation): by filling out the New Field area with name Elevation, type Whole Number. The default length (10) suffices.

  • Press ‘Add to Fields List’ button to add the field

  • Press OK, and make sure to save the new layer inside your project folder

  • After creation, select the new layer, right mouse button, Properties dialog, Style tab, then load the fcss_elevation_corrections.qml style
