Contour maps in the project can be displayed in the view by clicking on the check box next to them in the object tree of the sidebar.  If the contour map represents a strata top or bottom it can be draped at the boundary in the view by clicking on the Drape checkbox in the sidebar. Draping will adjust each node in the contour map so that it is displayed at that elevation in the 3D display.

 

 

After the map is displayed, it's opacity can be adjusted using the Map Opacity slider on the sidebar. Slide the bar to the right to make the map more opaque and to the left to make the map more transparent.

 

 

The elevation of the map can be adjusted using the Map Elevation slider on the sidebar. Slide the bar to the right to raise the map and to the left to lower the map.
