When adding contours to a new map can someone explain what we do with them at the edge of the map?

Currently I'm getting this;

I've seen this type of thing before. I think you need to add some corner points to the right edge of the map.
 

simovitch, thanks.. however, if I add corner points, or points along the edge of the map all lower terrain on which ever side of the map I extend the points to will be overwritten by this higher terrain.. I'm struggling to get my head around this at the moment. Seems like as soon as a contour goes off the edge of the map everything goes crazy! [&:]

Hi Banquet,

Try zooming out until you see your map as a small rectangle inside a working area.

Then add corner points outside the map in the way shown in the picture.

Hope it helps.

What I mean is that everytime a countour line reaches the edge of the map, you are better off "walking it back to its origin" using the outside region.

Thanks Chelco, that makes sense. I'll keep trying [:)]

edit: nice graphic, btw

Hi Banquet,

I see you are a bit tangled up... hehe, but nothing worrysome. I know your problem. Continuing at the lower middle point, continue left towards the lower left corner, then to the higher left corner, then to where your contour line begins again.

Hope that helps

Thanks guys, much appreciated! [:)] I think I get it now. It was the wrap around thing I couldn't quite grasp!

Having a bit more success with the contours now;

Good to see and thanks for the responses guys. Beat me to the punch. Much appreciated.[:)]
