3.5.17 Displaying Precipitation Type Maps
Select Tools-2 > Precip Type Map to open the Precip Type panel, which
allows you to download a 461 x 461 pixel (kilometer) map from Baron
Services’ Snow Machine server. You can then modify the grid, which is
overlaid on the current view, to reflect the current situation in your area.
Enabled forces a new grid to be downloaded each time one is created.
You must have both Enabled and Autoload grids
selected to automatically download grids from Baron
Services.
Autoload grids downloads a new grid from the Snow Machine server
every time a new one is created. The only reason to not select this option is
when you want to keep the manual map for display purposes.
Fill Type lets you create a Rain, Freezing, or Snow area. When you select
this option, the mouse cursor turns into a pencil and you can then define the
weather line by clicking and dragging.
Undo Fill clears the last area that was manually filled.
Clear Lines erases all the lines you have drawn.
Clear All erases everything off the screen and returns to the display shown before you
downloaded the grid.
Outside Area changes the area outside of the grid to rain, freezing, or snow.
Load allows you to manually load a previously downloaded grid file.
To clear the Precip Map from your viewing area and close the Precip Type menu, click OK.
