Bonjour Mokhtar, You can find the elevation shaded relief dataset here: http://basemap.nationalmap.gov/arcgis/services/USGSShadedReliefOnly/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS Please enter that URL in the IDV Dashboard, Data Choosers tab, under the Catalogs (not URLs) option. This action will allow you to add this layer as a data source (click "Add source"). This action will take you to the Field Selector in the IDV Dashboard. Click Create Display to have your shaded relief elevation view. See the attached image for an example. You may have to zoom in to actually see the shaded relief.
