A common requirement for surface charts is to highlight the elevation zones they display. Zoning can be applied to both the surface filling and the surface frame.

By default the component uses an automatic palette to highlight the surface zones. The user can override this behaviour and apply a custom palette to the surface.

The component supports holes (empty data points) for surface charts.

The surface presentation group can be configured to show the surface as a contour. The user is then able to position the contour at an arbitrary vertical position.

The user can optionally display surface walls, which connect the surface rim with the chart floor.

An unique feature of the 3DChart component is the ability to display XYZ surfaces. In the case of such a surface the user just passes an array of (X,Y,Z) coordinates and the component automatically determines the optimal triangulation that should be used
