Terrain analysis provides a number of features that enable
you to get a better understanding of the terrain on which you want
to devise your system of attack or defense. You can use these functions
to display color-coded elevation data of what is visible and what
is not visible from a given point, to display areas of sight covering
360 degrees about a selected point, and to compute gradient and valley
information for selected areas.
In addition, you can create cuts through a terrain that
display color-coded elevation data along a polyline, create 3D views
and change their display angle and tilt, and simulate the trajectory
of ground based or airborne objects.
