Grid Display Mode

Specifies how the grid is displayed:

  • Use Surface Elevation: Displays the grid at its actual elevation values.
  • Flatten Elevations: Flattens or projects the grid to the elevation value specified by the Flatten Grid To Elevation property.
  • Exaggerate Elevation: Scales the grid by the factor specified in the Exaggerate Grid By Scale Factor property.
Flatten Grid To Elevation

Specifies the elevation used to flatten the grid; available only when you set the Grid Display Mode to Flatten Elevations.

Exaggerate Grid By Scale Factor

Specifies the scale factor used to exaggerate the grid; available only when you set the Grid Display Mode to Exaggerate Elevation.

Primary Grid

Orientation

Specifies the angle of orientation for the primary grid lines. The angle is clockwise (+), or counterclockwise (-) from the North-South meridian.

Secondary Grid

Specifies whether the secondary grid lines are used in the grid display as well as the secondary grid interval value and orientation.

Use Secondary Grid

Specifies whether or not the secondary grid lines are used in the grid display. Click True to use the secondary grid lines in the grid display.

Interval

Specifies the secondary grid interval value in drawing linear units. The secondary grid lines are the east-west, or latitudinal, grid lines.
