Model > Add Border

Use this menu option to create a border around a model in the current secondary colour. All existing relief layers in the model are extended by the width of the specified border.
The Add Border  button on the Model toolbar is a shortcut for this menu option. The accessibility of this button is layout dependent.

To add a border around the model area:

  1. Ensure the colour in which you want to create the border is selected as the secondary colour.
  2. Select Model > Add Border  or click to display the Add Border dialog. The current secondary colour is displayed, as is the width and height of the model.
  3. To create a symmetrical border, select the Symmetrical check box, and then specify the width of the sides in the adjacent box.
  4. To specify the width of the border on each side independently:
    1. Deselect the Symmetrical check box.
    2. Select the check boxes for the sides to which you want to add a border, and then specify their widths in the adjacent boxes.
  5. Click OK to close the dialog and create the border around the model.
