Display Grid

ds_display_gridDisplay 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:

display_grid

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.
