translate by data
The translate by data module accepts nearly any mesh and translates the grid in x, y, or z based upon either a nodal or cell data component or a constant.
The interface enables changing the Scale Factor for z translates to accommodate an overall z exaggeration in your applications. This module is most useful when used with the import vector gis module to properly place polygonal shapefile cells at the proper elevation.
Warning: The scale factor is always applied. If translating along any axis other than z, it is unlikely that you want to use the Z Exaggeration factor used elsewhere in your application.
- When translating by a Constant, the amount is affected by the Z Scale Factor.
- When translating by Cell Data, a radio box appears to allow specification of the cell data component
- When translating by Node Data, a radio box appears to allow specification of the nodal data component
