Viewing Surface Statistics
Statistics for each surface are visible by clicking the surface name icon
in the Terrain Model Explorer.
The following illustration shows the statistics for a surface, including
the Extended Statistics.
If you want a dynamic display of the elevational characteristics of a
surface, see the following section, “Dynamically Viewing Elevational
Characteristics of a Surface.”
Dynamically Viewing Elevational
Characteristics of a Surface
When a surface is open, it is loaded into memory. Therefore, you can
retrieve elevational information as you move the pointing device
across the surface. This is an excellent way to analyze surface
characteristics without actually drafting objects into the drawing.
