Surfaces

To set up surface parameters, go to the Surfaces tab of the 3D Scene Options dialog box:

NOTE. The tab is available in the 3D Scene Options dialog box, if the Surface type series is created in data sources.

A list of all surfaces added to 3D scene is shown to the right of the scene sample. The selected checkboxes that contain surfaces names show surfaces in the scene. All surfaces are displayed in the scene by default.
