# osgearth\_boundarygen(1)

generate boundary geometry

## NAME

osgearth\_boundarygen - generate boundary geometry

## SYNOPSIS

**osgearth\_boundarygen**  *model\_file* \[**--out** *path* \| **--no-geocentric** \| **--convex-hull** \| **--verbose** \| **--view**\]

## DESCRIPTION

**osgearth\_boundarygen** generates boundary geometry that you can use with an osgEarth \<mask\> layer in order to stich an external model into the terrain.

## OPTIONS

- *model\_file*

  Path to the model file

- FC**--out**F\[0\] *path*

  output file for boundary geometry (default is boundary.txt)

- FC**--no-geocentric**F\[0\]

  Skip geocentric reprojection (for flat databases)

- FC**--convex-hull**F\[0\]

  calculate a convex hull instead of a full boundary

- FC**--verbose**F\[0\]

  print progress to console

- FC**--view**F\[0\]

  show result in 3D window
