3D Orbit

Hey all,

 

I'm working with a simple surface in two vertical viewports.  I'm viewing one in 2d Wireframe and the other in 3D.  I noticed the contours don't stay on in the 3d view.  All I see are the triangles, no contours with them.  Is there a quick fix to view them in 3D?

 

Thanks!

Did you just try to change the surface style?

Yes. In the 2d view, the surface just has on 1 and 5 foot contours with no triangulation. But in the 3d view, you can only see the surface as triangles, even though the surface is set to those contour intervals.

 

Is there a setting somewhere to control surfaces when in 3d view?

Yes. On the Display tab of the Style, change the view direction to Model and change the settings:
