The View Control options include:

• Field Point Grid - controls the display of the horizontal contour plane results computed from the Field Point Grid

• Point Queries - controls the display of point queries. You can simultaneously show or hide all point queries by selecting the main checkbox, or you can show or hide the display of individual queries by expanding the tree and selecting the checkboxes for individual queries, identified by their ID number

• Line Queries - controls the display of line queries. You can simultaneously show or hide all line queries by selecting the main checkbox, or you can show or hide the display of individual queries by expanding the tree and selecting the checkboxes for individual queries, identified by their ID number

• Drawing Tools - controls the display of drawing tools in the Plan View

• Deformed Contours - controls the display of deformed contours in the 3D View. The deformation is only applied to horizontal contour plane results. This option allows you to view the actual 3-dimensional deformed shape of settlement surfaces (for example) at any depth. The apparent deformation is controlled by a scale factor, which can be user defined in the Display Options dialog.

• Loads - controls the display of all loads

• Soil Column - controls the display of the soil layers in the 3D View (i.e. the 3-dimensional box representing the soil layer profile)
