Model > Create Greyscale

Use this menu option to create a greyscale image of the active relief layer or the composite relief. A greyscale is an image in which the only colours are shades of grey.
The Create Greyscale  button on the Model toolbar is a shortcut for this menu option. The availability of this button is license dependent.

A greyscale image is useful for identifying areas of a model to which you want to add texture, since the entire relief is painted in a single colour by default.

To display a greyscale preview of the composite relief:

  1. Select Model > Create Greyscale or click .
  2. Display the 2D view to view the greyscale image.


    The greyscale image is created on a new bitmap layer at the top of the layer stack under the Bitmap Layers item in the Project Tree. The bitmap layer is named Greyscale by default.
    The availability of this feature is license dependent.
