This option is used to calculate and display the difference between a specified
height (z-value) perpendicular to a Tin in the project from a cursor location.
Continue down the page to see the Drop onto Tin in 3d Panel options.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator border_width=”5″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]To view the Drop onto Tin in 3d Panel, Use: Tins => Inquire => Drop onto Tin in 3d

Type in a ‘Height of Point’ z-value, then move the mouse around the selected tin and see the panel displaying the cursor location X, Y and Z coordinates.
The triangle where the cursor is, will highlight red and the yellow line will display the perpendicular distance line from the z-value to the tin.
The ‘3d Drop Diff’ will display the perpendicular distance from the z-value to the tin.
A positive ‘3d drop diff’ is if the point is above the tin.
A negative ‘3d drop diff’ is if the point is below the tin.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”3570″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As shown below the panel will update as the cursor location changes.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”3571″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator border_width=”5″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
