17. Tap View… to access the 3D View screen. While

staking points, you should periodically tap this
button to view what the current DTM surface looks

like. This is a useful quality assurance technique to

determine where additional points are needed.

Note: The View… button is only available when
Generate DTM with Staked Points is checked in the first
Stake DTM screen and at least three points are stored on
the non-reference DTM layer.

When the

button is activated (darkened), dragging

within the 3D View will result in the image being rotated
to any angle. When the

button is activated, dragging

within the 3D View will pan the image.

The Volume button will display the total cut/fill volume difference
between the DTM surface being staked and a reference elevation
specified in the 3D View Settings screen, described next.
