Feature request - Terrain shading : depth from surface #39

Closed speleo closed 3 years ago

speleo commented 3 years ago

The depth from surface can be viewed by clicking on data points.

Would it be possible to have an option to shade by depth from surface? This would be an extremely usefull tool.

Hi,

It already has! (keyboard shortcut '8' or its 'depth' in the underground leg shading dropdown menu item)

The accuracy is limited by the fact the depth is obtained from a 1024 x 1024 depth map over the area of the survey, but good enough for visualisation I would imagine.

The Peak Cavern/Speedwell survey illustrates it well, with the horizontal Speedwell canal:

Very good indeed. Just seen the depth cursor too. Amazing tool.

Thank you, Henry
