Hi Oliver,

Thanks Sabin. Yes the 'Show Reconstruction Tree Layer' in your screenshot is empty - which can happen when no rotation files are loaded.


> Sam and Lena, would either of you be able to check that the instructions in this tutorial are clear? If not, please make changes as needed. Thanks so much!


The first step says...


1. Make sure the rotation file (‘Seton_etal_ESR2012_2012.1’) is loaded in GPlates.

Regards,
John

Hi Oliver,

That window will only be populated if you have a rotation file loaded (.rot). You should be able to load it from the SampleData or from the Tutorial Dataset.

Sam and Lena, would either of you be able to check that the instructions in this tutorial are clear? If not, please make changes as needed. Thanks so much!

Cheers,
Sabin

Hi,

I am working through the GPlates Tutorials (on a Windows 7 machine).  In Tutorial 2.2, Exercise 3, one needs to select "View total Reconstruction Poles."  I have the Seton et al ESR2012 Coastlines file loaded, but nothing shows up in the window.

I'd be very grateful for suggestions on how to fix this.

Thanks in advance,
Oliver Strimpel
