First Look at RISA-3D
Version 5.0 11
Views
You may open as many model view windows as you like. This is especially
helpful when working in close on large models. You might have one overall view
and a few views zoomed in and rotated to where you are currently working. You
may have different information plotted in each view.
One thing to remember is that the toolbars that RISA-3D displays depend upon
what window is active. The active window is the one with the colored titlebar.
For example, if you are looking for the zoom toolbar button and the active
window is a spreadsheet. You need to select a model view first before you can
access the zooming tools.

or edit data in a spreadsheet cell you click on the cell, making it the “active” cell,
and then edit the cell. There is always one and only one active cell, which is the
cell that has the “attention” of the keyboard. This “active cell” is simply the green
