Planning - AdditionalTerrains

An Additional Terrain is a definition of a layer from either a grid, a QINSy Mapping *.pro file or a manual level.
This Terrain can be selected as the terrain in one or more Profile Displays.
When multiple displays are used, for example with fore, side and aft views then the terrain only needs to be selected once, here in the Session Setup.
See for more information the Profile Display's Select - Terrain menu.

Additional Terrains
Type	Three terrain types can be selected: Manual Level (same as Safety line in Profile Display) - A line will be displayed at a manually entered depth (in survey units). This line can be used in case no design is available and a depth needs to be displayed. Sounding Grid- Select the soundig grid to use from the drop down menu and make sure to select the correct Layer in the Layer/Height column. QINSy Mapping- Select an existing *.pro file from the drop down menu.

Description	The description shown here, will be used in the Profile Display to select the Terrain. Enter a different name if necessary.
