    Can you explain how to get the different depths? What does shallow contour, safety contour, and deep contour mean relative to each other? I can't figure out how to get more than 2-layers. Thank you!

      I’m fan with cricut so I do tutorials for cricut design space & Inkscape software but more related to design projects to cut using cutting machine like cricut or silhouette not to design logos or graphics. It’s mainly to make cards, 3D projects like gift boxes, rolled flowers, using glyphs in fonts….etc
      I’m resin artist too, I don’t do resin tutorials but I use Inkscape to design mandala and cut it with vinyl then attach it to resin wooden boards. They are so cool!

    Hey Rick, so happy I came across your videos. I love Inkscape but I've noticed that since I did the 1.3 update I can't use the trace bitmap function. As soon as I open it Inkscape crashes every time. Have you come across this issue?

    • @IronEchoDesign
      @IronEchoDesign  Рік тому +1

      Thanks! And yes. That happened to me when I moved from 1.1 to 1.2. Instant crash. The advice I got that worked was to do the good-old shut down, restart. Then test Trace Bitmap on a small file size image and do single scan. If that still crashes there might be something worse going on. Hope it can be fixed!

    • @IronEchoDesign
      @IronEchoDesign  Рік тому +1

      Also, try it in a new Inkscape window BEFORE playing with any Path Effects. The bug could be in a Path Effect causing trouble to Trace Bitmap.

      The site copyright page says the map data is free to use. The downloadable maps should be credited. I’m not an expert in this law- I’d go off the guidelines they list.

      @@IronEchoDesign It's not so easy my friend.
      Maybe you must start with QGis from start.
      This kind of studies, like the one that you are doing require other kind of tools because a map, even one that its purpose is to be informative, must meet some requirements.
      Datum, projection, scale, north, marginal data, reticule or gradicule, data legend, among many others.
      Part of my post gradiate research is to investigate ancient lake in Mexico city before Spaniards invade this city.
      Similar of what you are doing now, but based in sinthetic radar aperture digital terrain models.
