We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Check the import options in DM, I think it defaults to surfaces for some formats. The sliding mesh approach is sensible, but I've found it better to rotate the outer region so when post processing you keep the "building" orientation constant. 

One comment, carefully check your definitions for map/grid north, true north, magnetic north and similarly for the wind rose. You'd be surprised how many variations you'll find.....Â
