Creating a relief layer

Use the New Relief Layer button to create an empty, relief layer. You can create as many relief layers as you like. This gives you greater control over changing the appearance of the composite relief.

To create a relief layer:

  1. In the Project Tree, click the Front Relief item, the Back Relief item, or a relief layer. Its panel is displayed below the splitter bar.
  2. On the panel, click .
    Tip: Alternatively, click the New Relief Layer icon next to the Front Relief item or the Back Relief item in the Project Tree.

    Each new relief layer that you create is:

    • named Relief Layer.
    • numbered sequentially.
    • active.
    • selected.
    • added to the layer stack directly above the layer which was previously active.
    • given the Add combine mode.
    • visible in the 3D view.
