Part 15 - Use a VS3D Relief Surface in VScad3 - continued. Select "Swap in/out" in the region definition "Modify" pull-down menu. The region is now turned "inside out" - enclosing all the Earth's seas instead of the continents. Set the Region "Z" height to 19.5 . Select "Plateau" from the Sculpt menu. The continents are now floating on a "flat" surface. Click on the Region "Select All" button. In the Sculpt menu, select "Translate...". In the "Apply Region Translate" dialog, set the Distance Measurement type to "Data Units". Set the Translate Distance field to 169,0. Set the Backfill Mode to "Wrap-Around". The Backfill Plateau Value has no effect when the Backfill mode is "None" or "Wrap-Around". Click on "Ok". 
This operation will cause the entire surface to be shifted 169 data units (degrees) to the right, and grid points that are shifted off the right edge of the grid will wrap-around and come back onto the left side of the grid. 
If you are running a licensed version of VS3D (file output enabled), you can save this revised surface to a new file by selecting "Save Relief As..." from the main File menu. From the main File menu, select "CAD Geometry Builder -> Start..." (if VScad3 is already running, exit out of it first). Once VScad3 has started, exit out of VS3D via the "File / Quit" menu. In the main VScad3 "Resources" menu, select "Layout...". The "View Layout" dialog will appear. Set the Window Size (in pixels) to 720 for X and 720 for Y. Set the "Page Size" to 1 for X and 1 for Y. Leave all the other settings as is (this dialog will be covered in greater detail later in this tour). Click on "Apply". The view window is now re-sized. |
