 NOTE: When fitting points above or below a surface or elevation the point Z scale value is used to position the point. When fitting "above" positive values are show above, but negative value are actually shown below. This pattern is opposite when fitting "below". NOTE: When fitting points above or below a surface or elevation the point Z scale value is used to position the point.

-Scale Tab  ====+
  
 Points are scaled in X, Y, and Z directions using two different scaling modes. In "Absolute" mode the point scale (size) is calculated by multiplying "Factor" with 1 or a "Dataset Field" value. In relative mode the point scale is calculated as relative to "Max Size" (when checking "Relative" the label "Factor" changes to "Max Size"). Relative mode should be used when field values are large. When selecting another Dataset Field you may have to press "Refresh Data" to read the selected field. Points are scaled in X, Y, and Z directions using two different scaling modes.
