CARIS HIPS and SIPS : HIPS and SIPS : HIPS and SIPS Commands A to K : Group Multiple Surfaces
 

Group Multiple Surfaces

Multiple surfaces can be grouped together, so that the same display properties can be applied consistently to all the grouped surfaces.

Grouped surfaces are listed together under a new Sources layer, followed by their combined attribute layers, as in the example below.

When a surface is added to an existing group, the properties of the first of each type of attribute layer included in the group are applied to all other attribute layers of the same type.

For example, if the Depth layer for the grouped surfaces has Filter values set, the Depth layer for a surface added to the group will display data within the filter range, regardless of its settings before it was added to the group.
