MX Surface Analysis 


MX offers a handfull of surface analysis tools to aid in evaluating surface string models.   From the Analysis menu, select Surface Analysis...

               

On the Model to Analyze panel, specify either a string or triangulation model to analyze.  If a triangulation model is selected, then a triangulation string is also required.

Select the appropriate masking for this model.  For surveyed ground models, use the GroundTriangle.msk.

Analysis within a Boundary is also available.  Click Options... to adjust any of the defaults for Surface Analysis.  Click Next to advance to the Surface Analysis panel.


 

                

The Surface Analysis panel is the entry to 10 surface analysis options, select from:

  1. Contours
  2. Elevation Bands
  3. Slope Bands
  4. Aspect Bands
  5. Flat Spots
  6. Steep Slopes
  7. Flow Arrows
  8. Simple Profile
  9. Display Triangulation  (Refer to MX Triangulation for triangle model generation)
  10. Catchment Areas

Similar to the Model to Analyze panel, click Options... to adjust any of the defaults for Surface Analysis.
