The Geometry View Mode is used to compute point locations, linear distances, and radii.  These "geometry objects" can be positioned by dragging them with the mouse.

Add Point

Click the Add Point toolbar button to add a point location to the height map image.  This point can be dragged to any location on the surface to calculate the X, Y, and Z position of the point.

Add Line

Click the Add Line toolbar button to add a line to the height map image.  The end points of the line can be dragged to any location on the surface.  Clicking and dragging along the lines length allows you to move both end points together.  The distance along the X, Y, and Z axes is reported along with the oblique (actual) distance between the two points.

Add Circle

Click the Add Circle toolbar button to add a circle to the height map image.  A circle is defined by three points.  Each of the three points can be dragged to a location on the surface to compute the radius through the three points.  The center of the circle can also be dragged to position all three points together.

Copy Results to Clipboard
