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:

A selected domain can be removed from the list by using the Delete button in the dialog.
