Define Domains
Not Lite, Not UAV
Define Domains tool opens a dialog for defining domains. The dialog contains buttons for adding new domains, editing a domain, and deleting a domain.
The domain definitions can be saved into a text file or loaded from a previously saved file by using the commands from the File pulldown menu. When you open a CAD file, the software automatically loads the domain definition file that was used last with this CAD file.
For each domain, a single color or a color scheme can be chosen for visualization. If a color scheme is defined, the elevation differences of a surface model within the domain area are represented. Areas for which no specific domain is assigned are displayed using the Default domain settings.
To add or edit a domain:
1. Click Add in the Define Domains dialog.
OR
1. Select a domain definition and click Edit in the Define Domains dialog.
This opens the Domain dialog:
2. Define settings for the domain.
3. Click OK.
The new domain definition is added to the list in the Define Domains dialog or the selected domain is modified.
A selected domain can be removed from the list by using the Delete button in the dialog.

Abbreviation |
A free text that can be used as abbreviation for the new domain. |
Name |
A free text used as name for the domain. |
Elevations |
Name of the surface model that is used for determining the elevation ranges for the color scheme. |
Level |
Level number for displaying triangles in the CAD file. |
Draw contours |
If on, contour lines are drawn for this domain. This effects the display of contour lines with Display Contours tool. |
