OS Terrain 50 colour shading

[davidchamberlain2]

Hi all,

I want to use OS Terrain 50 and have the colour shading that the OS say is possible with the data. I have downloaded it but cant work out how to do it. Can anyone help? The image below is what I want my mapping to look like or similar.

I have downloaded the shapefile(Contours version) which contains contour polylines and height points.

Thanks

Dave

Download the ASCII grid format

Use this script to convert the downloaded zip file (don't unzip it) to a GeoTIFF

Then create a hillshade and overlay another layer (same data) with semitransparent colour symbology or use a shaded relief raster function.

Thanks Luke, I will give it a go.
