The 3D Region Control plug-in controls one or more 3D Region objects by changing and applying graphic properties to the objects.

3D Region Control is typically used for producing election graphics where it is useful to distinguish regions by, for example, color.

Note: This plug-in is located in: Plugins -> Geometry plug-ins -> Maps_Adv

3D Region Control Properties

  • 3D Regions Parent Container: Container placeholder for the container holding the region objects.

  • Control Mode: Defines the data segment of the object to be controlled. Select Region or Sub Region and then select what part of the region/sub-region to control:

    • Fill: Enables control of the region/subregion’s fill properties.

    • Border: Enables control of the region/subregion’s border properties.

  • Fill Mode: Defines the fill of the regions.

    • Interpolate 3: Sets three colors that define the region's color range. The region's color is derived from the range of colors and the number of regions.

    • Interpolate 2: Sets two colors that define the region's color range. The region's color is derived from the range of colors and the number of regions.

    • Group: Controls the fill of all the 3D Region objects under the defined 3D Regions Container (apply the material added to the 3D Region Control container).

    • Highlighted: Controls the selected regions on the map only.

    • Not Default: Allows 3D Region Control to draw any sub region in the target 3D Region which is not in group one.

  • Apply Sender Matrix: Applies a matrix to the regions. Available options are None, Multiply, Translate, Scale and Full.

    • None: Uses the 3D Region matrix.

    • Multiply: Uses the 3D Region matrix multiplied by the 3D Region Control matrix.

    • Translate: Uses only the translated part (x, y and z position) of the 3D Region Control matrix.

    • Scale: Uses the scale part (x, y and z scaling) of the 3D Region Control matrix.

    • Full: Uses the 3D Region Control matrix.

  • Apply Sender Matrix: Applies a matrix to the regions. Available options are None, Multiply, Translate, Scale and Full.

  • Apply On: Applies the sent matrix on all regions or only the selected sub regions.
