### 📁 Step 1: Start a New Project

- Click on **“New Project”** at the top of the screen
- In the project setup modal, you’ll need two files:
  
    - A **DSM file** (in **TIFF** format)
    - A **GeoJSON** file that defines your **boundary**

---

### 🌍 Step 2: Upload DSM and GeoJSON

- Add your **DSM (TIFF)** first
- Then upload the **GeoJSON boundary file**
- You can **skip the DTM file** — eino.ai automatically generates it based on the DSM

---

### ⏱️ Step 3: Wait for Terrain Processing

- The platform will process the DSM and generate 3D elevation data
- This usually takes just a few minutes

---

### 🔍 Step 4: Explore Terrain in 3D

- Zoom in to explore **ups and downs** of the terrain
- You’ll see physical elevation contours and building heights

---

### 📏 Step 5: Use the Measurement Tool

- Open the **Measurement Tool**
- Hover your mouse to see:
  
    - **Surface height** (from DSM)
    - **Terrain height** (DTM estimate)
- Great for validating elevation data accuracy at specific points
