Display Grid
Display Grid tool generates a grid presentation of a surface model. You can create a coloring scheme where the color of the grid squares changes according to the surface elevation.
To display a grid:
1. Select the Display Grid tool.
The Display Grid dialog opens:
2. Define settings and click OK.
3. If Enter origin is switched on, define the origin point of the grid with a data click.
This draws a squared grid for the selected surface model on the given level.
4. If Place legend is switched on, define the location of drawing the legend with another data click.
