On the Display tab of the Structural Data form, you can set the dimensions and colours for the structural data display.

Dimensions

The options in the Dimensions section let you set values for scale, radius and length for the display.

Scale

Accept the default Scale or enter a value by which to scale the structural data display. The scale will act as a multiplier to the current dimension parameters.

Disc Radius

Enter a value for the Disc radius in the field provided. The radius value uses grid units and determines the size of each disc displayed in the structural data layer.

Lineation Length

Accept the default or enter a value for Lineation length. The lineation value determines the length (in grid units) of linear structures for the display.

Lineation Radius

Enter a value for the Lineation radius, to determine the radius of the linear structure points for the data display.

Ribbon width

Enter a value for the width of the polylines (ribbon) that are added to the structure points.

Colours

The Colours options are used to determine the colours used to display the structural data discs and cones.

Disc orientation line

Use the colour box to select the display colour for the orientation line within the disc. This line represents the dip direction of the structural data point.

Uniform

Select the Uniform option to apply uniform colour to the Disc Top, Disc Bottom and Lineation for the display.

Select a Colour for the Top and Bottom of the polyline strings (ribbon).

When the Display options have been configured as required, click OK to generate the structural data display.
