The red arrows and orange handle show the clipping boundary, which has been
allowed to expand to encompass all data imported to the project. Because the
topography was created before the clipping boundary was set, all the data in
the imported elevation grid has been used and the resulting topography is
larger than might be practical. Clearly, if the intention is to model within the
area on the map, the clipping boundary should be limited to the region
indicated by the map.
If the map is the only object in the project, it can easily be used to set the
clipping boundary by selecting <Everything> from the Enclose Object list:
This results in a clipping boundary that is limited to the extents of the map:
Once the clipping boundary has been set, further data imported into the
project will be clipped to it. For example, importing the elevation grid and
using it to create a topography only after the clipping boundary has been set to
the map extents will result in a topography (with the map draped) that looks
like this:
