Ridge Line Configuration
Ridge Line
A Ridge Line is basically a 3D line running between Spot Levels defining a terrain border.
LAND4 Ridge Lines are dynamic objects.
LANDSurface triangulation
In LAND4, Ridge Lines are used to control LANDSurface triangulation. A LANDSurface triangle will never intersect a neighbouring Ridge Line, but always have one of its sides following the Ridge Line.



Note! Ridge Lines are also known as Break lines.

Slope Lines
Some of the settings, you can edit, are the settings for Slope Lines.
