Importing surfaces
You can import surfaces into Echoview from supported surface file formats and use them to exclude samples from analysis or add them to scenes.
Note: This page does not cover importing surfaces from 3D model object files or creating surfaces.
Importing a surface
To import a surface:
- On the File menu, click Import.
- Select a surface file format and select the file.
- Click Open.
- In the Surface name box, enter a name for the surface. Echoview suggests part of a name and expects further text to be entered before completing the import process.
- In the Maximum triangulation distance (m) text box, enter the maximum allowable distance between points in the surface. Where this distance is exceeded a gap will be displayed in the surface.
- Click Import.
