-The surface object represents a single 2D grid (raster) in 3D and is one of the most important object types in GeoScene3D. Surfaces are used to model terrain and any other surface below or above ground. Surfaces may be geologic layer interfaces, interpolated geophysical surfaces, water tables, etc. In the [[:geoscene3d:project_content:objects:surface:project_settings|Project Settings]] dialog one surface in the project can be selected as terrain model. The surface may be colored using a colors scale or single color. It is also possible to drape a bitmap onto the surface.+The surface object represents a single 2D grid (raster) in 3D and is one of the most important object types in GeoScene3D.

 __Smooth (slow):__ The smooth factor is used for color scale only and is used to smooth the color scale to produce sharper discrete levels.

The higher the smooth factor the sharper color levels. Note, this settings should be used with care. The higher the smooth factor the longer it takes to generate a color scaled bitmap. __Smooth (slow):__ The smooth factor is used for color scale only and is used to smooth the color scale to produce sharper discrete levels.
