Probe

Probe is the default tool. Double-click (or Ctrl+Click) on any object to see detailed information about it at that location. A fuchsia-colored wireframe sphere marks the probed point.

Probe Results

The Probe Results section in the Tools panel shows:

FieldDescription
CoordinateThe X, Y, Z location of the probed point
UnitThe name of the object that was probed
AnalyteThe chemical or substance being measured (if the object contains analytical data)
ValueThe interpolated data value at that location. This is an approximation based on the 3D model, not the exact value from the original data.
Data RangeThe minimum and maximum values for this dataset
DatamapA visual color bar showing how values map to colors
Info

The fields shown depend on the type of object probed. Objects without analytical data show only the coordinate and unit name.

Action Buttons

Three buttons appear below the probe results:

  • Clear — Remove the probe marker and results
  • Center — Move the camera to orbit around the probed point. After clicking Center, all mouse rotations pivot around this point instead of the center of the scene.
  • Edit — Open the Model Tree with the probed object selected for editing
