to rotate it. A single-face fixed object appears as a rectangle that you can rotate
with grips. This type of object also displays its name either forward or backward
to indicate its orientation to the camera, which is helpful for signs. A
crossing-face object always appears as two triangles intersecting at right angles.
When view-aligned, they face the camera at 45-degree angles and you can't
change their rotation. When the object is fixed, you can change its rotation.
Single Face/Crossing Faces
Specifies a single-face object or a crossing-face object. A single-face object
is faster to render but not quite as realistic as a crossing-face object, especially
for animation and raytraced shadows.
View Aligned
Makes the object always face the camera. This is generally a good choice
for trees and other nonplanar objects.
When the View Aligned option is cleared, the object maintains a fixed
orientation. This can be effective with planar objects like road signs that
you don't want to view straight on.
Height
Specifies the height of the landscape object in current drawing units. The
default is 20, and the height is always in the positive Z direction of the current
user coordinate system (UCS). Use the scroll bar or enter a value.
Position
Uses the pointing device to specify a location in the drawing. The default
position is at the origin of the UCS.
LTSCALE
Sets the global linetype scale factor
Command line: ltscale (or 'ltscale for transparent use)
Enter new linetype scale factor <current>: Enter a positive real value or press ENTER
Use LTSCALE to change the scale factor of linetypes for all objects in a drawing.
Changing the linetype scale factor causes the drawing to be regenerated.
