Adding Vertical Exaggeration to the Strata Surfaces in the Geotechnical Modeler

Vertical exaggeration is a visualization tool that is often used by engineers to convey subtle differences in elevation over a sampled area. The Geotechnical Modeler gives you full control over the vertical exaggeration of the strata data and profile geometry created within the project drawing. To modify the exaggeration of the TIN surfaces:

1. Open the Stratum Surface Display dialog box by selecting Stratum Surface Display from the ribbon.
2. Activate the Model Visibility tab.
3. Select the checkbox next to Vertical Exaggeration.
4. You can select a preferred vertical exaggeration factor appropriate for your project data and use case (that is, 4, 5, 10). Remember that profile views and the scale of data displayed in that format may contribute an additional scale factor to the strata data as well.
5. Click the Apply Settings button at the bottom of the dialog box. When monitoring the strata surfaces in a model / 3-dimensional view you should observe the vertical exaggeration factor take effect.
