New Project - Create new OptiSurface Designer Project

 Open – Open and existing OptiSurface Designer project file (*.osd) or open a survey file and import it into a new OptiSurface Designer project file.

 Save – Save the existing OptiSurface Designer project file. If it has not been saved before a save dialog box will ask where to save it.

 Import – Import a field survey data file. A dialog box will ask for its location. Multiple data files can be imported into the same OptiSurface Designer project.

 Export - Export the current design surface to file

 Print – Print the current scene view

 Print Preview – Review the current scene view as a print out.

 Copy Screen – Copy the current scene view to clipboard.

 Zoom In – Zoom in by a factor of 2. Tip: Try using the mouse scroll wheel to zoom too.

 Zoom Out – Zoom out by a factor of 2. Tip: Try using the mouse scroll wheel to zoom too.

 Zoom To Window – Left click then drag a window to zoom to an area.

 Zoom To Extents – Zoom to full extents of data.

 Pan – Left click and drag to pan the scene. In this mode you can also hold the <Shift> key down to rotate the scene and hold the <Ctrl> key down to orbit the scene.

 Rotate – Left click and drag to rotate the scene about the Z axis.

 Plan View – View the terrain from top looking down.

 Side View – View the terrain from front looking horizontally.

 Isometric View – View the terrain in 3D perspective.

  Design Zones – Allows you to create design subzones, modify zone extents, adjust zone priority, delete zones, modify design parameters, etc.

  Landform Design Parameters – Define the landform design parameters for the design area (boundary zone).

  Calculate Proposed Topography – Based on the landform design parameters defined for each zone, calculate the optimal proposed topography.

 Long Section – View a long section of the terrain. Long section direction is defined as along the main slope bearing. (i.e. down the row for OptiSurface 1D & 2D)

 Cross Section – View a cross section of the terrain. Cross section direction is defined as 90 degrees to the main slope bearing & long section.

 Measure Distance – Measure vertical and horizontal distance between two points, plus slope (%) and bearing (degrees from north) of line between two points.

 Add Note – Add a text note to the 3D viewer.

 Design Report – Export the design report that summarises the design inputs and outputs.

 User Guide – View the Help documentation. Your looking at it.

 Import – Import a field survey data file. A dialog box will ask for its location. Multiple data files can be imported into the same OptiSurface Designer project.

 Design Parameters – Define the design inputs or settings that determine the type and features of the proposed design surface.

 Export - Export the current design surface to file so it can be uploaded into machine control hardware.
