Topography > Geometry

The Geometry tab allows you to define the position, rotation, size, and curvature of the selected topo file.

+

Origin: anchor point for the topo object's position coordinates.

+

Position: object's home position in 3D space.

+

Size: object's size. W refers to width, D refers to depth, T refers to thickness. The different topo objects make
different use of the three dimensions depending on their geometry. (Note: the T setting is not used for Meshes and
Pixel Rects.)

+

Rotation: object's rotation around global X/Y/Z axes.

+

Curve (Bottom/Top): specific to rectangles. Curve refers to the curvature of two distinct edges of a rectangle. Top
and Bottom refer those edges of the rectangle when the Vertical checkbox is checked.

+

Curve (Arc/Angle): specific to discs and cylinders. Arc refers to the coverage of the object in degrees (e.g., 180° is
half a disc/cylinder, 360° is a fully closed disc/cylinder). Angle refers to the rotation of the disc/cylinder around its
axis.

+

Hole: specific to discs. The Hole parameter is used to create a hole (like a donut hole) in the center of the disc.
The value entered is expressed as a percentage - i.e., the hole's diameter as a percentage of the disc's diameter -
with 0.5 being 50%, etc.

+

Lune (Arc/Angle): specific to spheres. Lune refers to the curvature arc and coverage along the horizontal axis. i.e.
as around the equator.

+

Zone (Arc/Angle): specific to spheres. Zone refers to the curvature arc and coverage along the vertical axis. i.e. as
around a line of longitude.
