Hello !

I'm new to Blue Kenue and I am encountering problems with my setup. It appears that the geometric outline for the shoreline for my study is too small. When I use the ruler tool it says that it only measures about 0.5 meters, but it is supposed to be much larger than that value. Can anyone answer as to why this happens and what can I do to solve it ?

Thank you very much !

Hi,

As your coordinate system is Lat/long, what you are measuring is degrees and not metres.

If you want to measure metres, you will have to convert to another coordinate system such as UTM.

I have created an internal ticket to investigate further...
