      How to convert your ROCK orthophoto from a .tif to a .tiff format

      To convert .tif file orthophoto generated by ROCK Desktop into a .tiff file orthophoto for Civil3D, follow these steps:

      1. Prepare the Ortho Photo Using QGIS

        • Add the orthophoto (in .tif format) as a raster layer.
        • Maintain the same coordinate reference system (CRS) for consistency. 

      2. Export the GeoTIFF

        • Right-click the layer and choose Export > Save As…
        • Save as a GeoTIFF and ensure the filename uses “.tiff” with two ‘f’s.

      3. Import into Civil3D

        • In Civil3D, use Insert > Raster Image to add the newly formatted .tiff file.
        • This ensures compatibility and easy integration with your project’s CAD environment.
