So, after the reprojection and then importing into CAVE, it seems to be
displaying properly?
Prior to the reprojection did the saved shape output have a .prj file? I'm
wondering if maybe there was no
projection information originally, and Arc is able to assume a default which
works, but CAVE wasn't able to
make that same assumption. And after you did the reprojection, now it was
explicitly stated in the shape file
data?
Does my assumption make sense?
To my understanding CAVE should be able to handle many different projection
types, but I believe it needs to
be specified, I don't think it can make a default assumption. Do you know what
the original projection was?
Thanks.
