Visualisation Controls
Use the visualisation controls to navigate the model, change the viewing direction, adjust object display styles, and manage selected slices or 3D models in the project.
Hide selected shapes from the visualiser or delete selected items from the project.
Fit, zoom, pan, rotate, or flip the model to a standard viewing direction.
Display selected objects as wireframe or shaded geometry, and adjust colour or transparency.
Slices and 3D Models
These controls are used to hide selected shapes on the visualiser or delete selected items from the project.
Hides the selected shape on the visualiser without deleting it from the project.
Deletes the selected item from the project.
Use this carefully. Deleting an item removes it from the project structure.

Displays the selected object as wireframe geometry.
Displays the selected object with shaded solid geometry.
Changes the display colour of the selected object.
Adjusts the transparency of the selected object.
Hides the selected shape on the visualiser.
Deletes the selected item from the project.
Use transparency together with wireframe display when checking internal stratigraphy, overlapping geometry, fault surfaces, or trimmed cross-section boundaries.
