3D Tab

The following options are available:

Option	Feature/s	Comment/Example
Show in 3D	show object in 3D yes/no	not available for all objects (for example, height points are already covered by the DTM)
Material	table with predefined material combinations (diffuse, ambient, specular)
option „Diffuse“	main color for 3D display	By default, the 2D fill color of the object is used.
option „Ambient“	color used at low or no light (background color)	by default, dark gray
option „Specular“	color for glossy surface	not available for the time being
Shininess	figure from 0 to 128 specifying the size of specular highlights	not available for the time being
Opacity (%)	numerical value from 0 to 100%	inverse of transparency
list box „3D-Symbol“	Offers to alter the default appearance of certain objects (e.g. point source) to the selected type of symbol.
option „Cast Shadows“	When activated, the object can cast shadows.	Point and line objects do not cast any shadows.
option „Unlit“	When activated, the object will be excluded from the lighting.	Useful for (vertical) grids because these may otherwise appear too dark.
option „Display Directivity“ (for point source only)	controls the display of an addressed directivity	Directivity is displayed as a wire-frame, and just for directivities from the local/global libraries

Note

Objects which are not shown in the 3D-Special View (height point, contour line, line-of-fault, triangulation) have no „3D“ tab.
