3D Display

You can create a 3D map display of your water model in InfoWater Pro 2.0 or higher. 

To create a 3D view:

1. Go to InfoWater Pro ribbon.
2. Click on the 3D Display  button. You should be able to view your model in 3D view:

Navigation Tool

For 3D views, the navigator appears by default in the lower left corner of the view. Click on the navigation tool to move the map in a northern, southern, eastern, or western direction. The points of the global positioning compass are abbreviated (N = North, S = South, E = East, and W= West).

• Click on the  North  button to reset the view back to facing north.
• Click and pan around the click wheel to rotate your map.
• You can expand the navigation tool by clicking on the  Show Full Control   button.
