Line of Sight Viewshed

This command colors 3D faces for a surface for whether the 3D face is either visible or hidden from a specified view point. The 3D faces need to be already drawn before running this command. The 3D faces can come from either a grid or triangulation surface. The colors for visible and hidden are set in the dialog. The Eye Height is added to the elevation at the View Point to set the elevation of the viewer. The Target Height sets how high of an object the viewer can see for the visible areas.

Graphic shows position of view point, surface contours and 3D faces colored with yellow for visible surface and blue for hidden surface.
