View Top Surface
This command allows you to view
the top Overexcavate surface in 3D mode.
In the top right of the control bar
you can check to Ignore Zero Elev and Color By Elevation and change
the Vertical Scale. If you increase the Vertical Scale than
elevation differences can be seen easier. Ignore Zero Elev does not
display elevations of zero in the 3D viewer. Color By Elevation
shows elevation change with the change of colors. Note: Color By
Elevation is used in the above example. To adjust the color use the
color circle on the right.
The magnify glass icons can be used to zoom in and out. Click on
the plus magnify glass to zoom in and the minus magnify glass to
zoom out. With the icon click and drag up to zoom in and drag down
to zoom out. The hand icon below the color circle allows you to pan
around the viewer. Click and drag the direction you want to move.
The icon can be used to rotate the
vantage point of the viewer by the x, y, or z axis. When you move
the cursor to the screen it will change into a x, y symbol or a z
symbol. Move the cursor around to move it from one to the other. If
you have the x, y cursor move right or left to change the x axis
view, or to change the y move the cursor up or down. If you have
the z cursor than move it in a circular fashion to rotate the view
point according to the z axis. The icon toggles on and off the
shading of the surface (the shading is shown in the above drawing).
The arrow icon reports the elevations at the bottom of the screen
as you move around the surface. The icon
restores the surface viewpoint to flat. The icon exits 3D
Driver Simulation.
Rotation Axis: These three control bars rotate the surface around
the x, y, and z axis. Clip plane trims the size of the surface
shown in the viewer.
