Topographic Lines

The Topographic Lines option allows users to project topographic lines and elevation data directly on the their 3D model. The topographic lines turn the model into a topographical map and can serve as a visual aid to place slope-dependent elements (such as seeders and barriers).

Using the Properties pane, users can adjust various aspects of the topographic lines including:

• Line Spacing

• Offset
• Number of Minor Lines
• Show Labels - yes/no
• Show Label Background - yes/no
• Show Label Color - yes/no
• Show Colors - yes/no
• Show Colors Legend - yes/no

Contour Colors

Checking the Show Colors option in the Properties pane will turn on the contour color map option to assist users in better visualizing their elevation data.
