3D Surface Maps
The 3D surface map uses shading and color to emphasize your
data features. Change the lighting, display angle and tilt with a click of the
mouse. Overlay several surface maps to generate informative block diagrams.
Create exciting 3D surface maps from your XYZ data!

3D Surface Map
Features
- Specify surface color gradation, shininess, base fill and line color
- Control mesh line frequency, color, style, surface offset
- Set lighting horizontal and vertical angles, ambient, diffuse, and specular properties
- Overlay contour maps, image maps, post maps, shaded relief maps, raster and vector base maps, and other surface maps for spectacular presentations
- Choose overlay resample method and resolution, color modulation (blending) of surface and overlays
- Save and load custom color map files for the exact desired display
- Use one of the built-in presets as the color map
- Add color scales to explain the data values corresponding to each color
- Disable the display of blanked grid nodes or map the blanked areas to a specific Z level
Combining surface maps is an excellent technique to visually compare data sets.
