Adjust the RockPlot3D Fence Panel Style

Follow these steps to adjust how a fence panel is displayed – as a solid surface, as a mesh of lines, or a grid of points, in RockPlot3D.

Right-click on the name of the panel to be modified (in the data pane of RockPlot3D), and choose Options. You may need to expand a group or two to access the vertical grid icon. If you have a difficult time determining which panel is which, remove a panel’s check-mark to see it disappear from the display.
Draw Style: Locate this drop-down box in the Grid Options window. By clicking the down-arrow you can see the options.
- Solid Filled: Choose this option if the panel is to be displayed as a solid surface.
- Wireframe: Select this if the panel is to be represented by a wire frame, with lines drawn at the density of the model from which the panel was created. You can adjust the line thickness by increasing or decreasing the numeric setting displayed there. A setting of "1" will result in thin lines. This option can make rendering faster.
- Points: Choose this if the panel is to be represented by a grid of points, at the density of the gid model from which the panel was created. You can adjust the point thickness by increasing or decreasing the numeric setting displayed there; a setting of "1" will result in small dots.
- These styles can be used with any of the surface Color Schemes.
Click the Apply button at any time to view the effect of your style changes on the panel. You may need to drag the Options window out of the way to view the display. You do not need to close the Grid Options window to apply and see the changes.
! Using the Apply button tells the program to invoke the changes you have made. You cannot discard changes once they have been applied.
You can repeat this process for additional panels, without even closing the current Grid Options window. Just double-click on another panel name and its Options window will be docked with the others.
