Analyzing Your Design - Autodesk Infraworks and Infraworks 360 Essentials - page 261

transparency You can adjust the transparency of the analysis so that the
detail of ground imagery or coverage styles can be seen beneath it. Features
such as roads, water areas, and buildings always display “above” the terrain
theme rather than being obscured by it.
Color from/to InfraWorks will assign colors to the theme rules automatically
by choosing colors between those specified in the Color From and Color To set-
tings. Once the theme is created, you can double-click the color swatches on the
Terrain Themes panel to change the color assignment for each individual rule.
Palette type InfraWorks provides a number of color palettes to set the color
scheme of your terrain theme. This is the location where you can select the
palette. You can even click the ellipsis button to open the Setup User Defined
Colors dialog where you can customize a palette to contain the colors you want.
Preview The preview will show you the breakdown of colors based on the
values for Number Of Rules, Color From, Color To, and Palette Type. As changes
are made in other parts of the Theme Properties dialog, the preview will update.
Once you've configured your theme, you can click OK to dismiss the Theme
Properties dialog. The theme will appear in the Terrain Themes panel and will
be applied immediately to the model.
exercise 7.3: Analyze terrain
In this exercise you will use the Terrain Statistics command to collect informa-
tion about the construction of the pond near the entrance to the industrial
park. You will then create several themes and observe the results they produce.
Two of the themes that you create will help you perform a flood analysis for the
industrial park and for the town.
If you are continuing from the previous exercise, you can skip to step 3.
