Dear Melissa

Is there any other format that we can our DEMS out in?

Hi All,

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.

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.

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,

Kind Regards,
Melissa Akoue Mve,
