New point

Click this button to define new height points.

The following query appears after activating this function.

Please enter point [enter = End]
The easiest would be to enter the height points into the top view. Here you can enter the desired Z-value in the property bar and click on the floor plan position. The cursor's coordinates are shown in the point property bar.
The height point’s settings must be confirmed with  Enter]. If the "AUTOMATIC UPDATE" option is activated, the terrain is automatically recalculated. Otherwise you must initiate the GENERATE function.

Delete point

Existing points can be moved or deleted. Clicking on the height point symbol shows the point property bar. Handles (small squares) then appear on the symbols; the active point's handle is shown in another colour.

Points which are no longer used must first be selected and then deleted either using the "Delete point" function or by hitting the Del key.

Colour selections

The points are displayed with a symbol and their colour can be set here.

Tip

The point symbols are only visible in the 3D design model and have two different colours. One colour is used for imported points and one colour is used for manually added points.

Colour selection – Direct entry

The pen colour can be entered directly. (from 0-1023)

Colour selection over table

The pen colour is selected here from the colour table.

Coordinates

Here the coordinates of the active height point are displayed. The units defined in the general terrain parameters are used.

Multi point selection

This function allows the selection of multiple points using area selection. The selected points are visually highlighted and can be deleted together. This allows for a quick deletion of unwanted areas.

Select points inside/outside

Improved · 16 R1 · Improvements

This switch acts on when selecting points. Depending on the setting, either the points inside or outside the polygon are selected.

To terrain property bar

Once all of the points have been entered, you can go back to the terrain property bar using the back button.

Modify height points

Existing points can be deleted and moved. Clicking on the height point symbol shows the point property bar. Handles (small squares) then appear on the symbols; the active point's handle is shown in another colour. The active point's coordinates are shown in the property bar. After a short wait, any change made to the values is applied and the point changes position. Alternatively, the point can be moved with the mouse. In the top view, only the X- or Y-values can be modified with the mouse. In a rotated view you can see the projection of a line on the work plane by moving the point. The shift takes place in a plane which lies perpendicular to the angle of view.

Display of height points and info text

Terrain points are displayed with a symbol. The displayed symbol can be switched of in the image properties.

Info text is may be included during import, if desired. Using the image properties, the info text can be also displayed for the points. This is only a temporary graphical information and not part of a plan. As a result, the inserted info text cannot be printed. The graphical depiction of the info text also occurs if the terrain is not selected.
