<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I need to do a slope analysis of the whole Western Cape area. I had planned to do this with the raster tool set in QGIS but after getting the DEM's from the NGI I discovered their DEMs are in a .ort format which is not a standard GDal
format. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was informed that the only way to load this .ort into QGIS is by converting it to a CSV and then loading the CSV file into QGIS, and then converting it to raster when in DEM. I have tried this but it is laborious and will take too long
because there are more than 50 NGI DEMs that make up the Western Cape area.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone know of a simpler way to load the .ort file. I have searched for ways to convert the .ort to a geotiff but I havent been successful yet,<o:p></o:p></p>
