The images align.
But the terrain geometry does not.
Creating a functional terrain from multiple imports is no small task.
Functional terrain meaning a single Surface entity with no holes, overhangs, underhangs, or caves.
Making two or more TINs into one functional terrain (no gaps, overlaps or stray edges) is not a quick task.
See Ref: [1] regarding functional terrain
Subsequent operations may be difficult or impossible unless the terrain is functional.
The problem being the geometry of successive grabs does not perfectly align with each other.
See image Ref: [2] … Shadows are on. Note the gaps where the two TINs overlap.
You might try using this plugin to make multiple TINs into a functional terrain. YMM…

How to I increase the area limit for Geo Location? For example if I want all of New York City I need to add location multiple times and manually merge the geometries together and it’s really a pain to have to join the edge together, is there a way to increase the area limit for Geo Location?
Will Placemaker solve my problem? Does anyone have experience will Placemaker?
