Points Tab (Surface Style Dialog Box)

3D Geometry

Point Display Mode

Specifies the points display properties:

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

Flatten Points To Elevation

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

Exaggerate Points By Scale Factor

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

Point Size

Point Scaling Method

Specifies the scaling method, which, in combination with the Point Units value, determines the point symbol size:

• Use Drawing Scale: Specifies that the point size is a product of the value specified in the Point Units property and the drawing scale. For example, with a 1”=40’ drawing scale, using a Point Units value of 0.1 is the equivalent of using Size In Absolute Units with a value of 4’.
• Size Relative To Screen: Specifies that the point symbol size is a percentage of the screen size. The percentage value is specified by the Point Units property.
• Size In Absolute Units: The value specified in the Point Units property is the absolute point symbol size.

Point Units

Specifies the value used for the point size.

Point Display

Data Point Symbol

Specifies the symbology of the data point display. Click to select a data point symbol.

Data Point Color

Specifies the color of the data point. Click to select a data point color.

Derived Point Symbol

Specifies the symbology of the derived point display. A derived point is not a data point, but a calculated one (for example, from a surface smoothing operation). Click to select a derived point symbol.

Derived Point Color

Specifies the color of the derived point. Click to select a derived point color.

Non-Destructive Point Symbol

Specifies the symbology of the non-destructive point display. Non-destructive points are creating when adding non-destructive breaklines. Click to select a non-destructive point symbol.

Non-Destructive Point Color

Specifies the color of the non-destructive point. Click to select a non-destructive point color.
