View Commands
Views let you control the visibility of your terrain and of related features.
What Are Views?
Views are Landshape commands that control the visibility of terrain-related objects or properties.
Most Views are toggles, turning the view on and off. Some Views, when turned on, let you tweak values in the VCB.
Why Use Views?
Use Views to e.g.:
• Style your terrain surface
• Better understand terrain mesh topology and volume
• Control terrain-driven objects, like water
• See your model in top parallel projection
• Extract isoline contours
