Controlling the visibility of relief layers

You can change the appearance of the composite relief by choosing a specific relief layer and controlling whether or not it is visible. When a relief layer is created, it is visible by default.
Each relief layer with displayed beside it is visible. Each relief layer with displayed beside it is hidden.

To control the visibility of a relief layer:

  1. If you are working with the layer stack associated with the Front Relief item, click the Toggle Front Relief button.
  2. If you are working with the layer stack associated with the Back Relief item, click the Toggle Back Relief button.
  3. Use the following methods to control the visibility of relief layers:
    • Click the icon beside a relief layer in the Project Tree to hide that layer's content.

      When a relief layer is hidden from the Project panel, its combine mode icon in the Project Tree is unavailable. For example, changes to .

    • Right-click the icon beside a relief layer in the Project Tree to hide all content except on that layer.
    • Double-click the icon beside Front Relief or Back Relief in the Project Tree to hide the content on all layers in either stack.
