Model settings

These terrain model settings affect all models and square net files.

Color legend can be displayed in the title file with the COL-definition.

Slope coloring

Colors triangles based on their slope. Steeper slopes get darker color. Does not work with square net.

Limit values, Minimum, Maksimum

Minimum and maximum can be used to limit coloring only for triangles with specific slope values.

Control colors

Uses control colors for slope values below, between and above given limits.

Fixed intervals

Uses fixed colors for slope values between given intervals. Slope interval values are given in the special setting SlopeIntervals.

Height coloring

Colors triangles or squares based on their height using full color spectrum.

Granularity

Determines how many parts the painted height interval is divided. Negative value is interval in meters.

Fixed scaling, Minimum, Maximum

Fixed scaling minimum and maximum values can be used to scale coloring for given height interval. Without fixed scaling minimum and maximum are searched automatically from all element list models in use.

Marked

Colors marked triangles based on their code. Triangles can be marked by model editing flat area and spike search functions.

No breakline painting

Model breaklines are not painted.

No triangle painting

Model triangles or square net squares are not painted with coloring.

Reverse coloring

Color order is reveresed.

On

Dialog settings are only on if this checkbox is on. Selecting settings with the Ctrl-key just switches this on or off.

Active

Settings are used only for active file.

Hide

Hides triangles outside given slope or height limits. With height limits triangle is hidden if its center height is outside limits. Hiding can be made accurate by adding limit countours to the model before hiding.

With the Alt-key hides triangles inside given limits.

Fetch

Fetched the minimum and maximum values from the model for either slope or height depending on the currently active setting.

Areas

Saves painted areas to a new vector element. With the Shift-key creates areas without colors.

Update

Updates the screen.
