1. 立面图：立面建模4创建地板和天棚模型5创建天棚上的光源对象及服务台模型6添加灯光并进行最后的修饰操作Chapter5用Lightscape设计商店-制作会员商店透视图1学习Lightscape的基本知识及图面的整理2以立面图(Elevation)为基准进行建模3创

2. 标高：ELEV命令可以设定缺省的绘制图形的基底标高(Elevation)和厚度(Thickness). 图形的基底标高是指从XY平面开始沿Z轴测得的Z坐标值. 图形的厚度是指图形沿Z轴测得的长度. 命令功能:对三维实体进行倒角,

3. 海拔：函数执行专门任务,如由海拔(elevation)计算边坡(slope),通常返回的是数值. 栅格计算机提供算术函数、三角函数、指数对数函数以及幂函数. ② 栅格数据空间分析函数:用山体阴影函数(hillshade)作用于elevation图层得到立体形态(立体图=hillshade([elevation]))

4. 高程：四、地面点的高程(Elevation) 高程(绝对高程、海拔)-----地面点到大地水准面的铅垂距离. 假定(相对)高程-----地面点到假定水准面的铅垂距离. 高差-----两点间的各处之差.
