Description
This command allows creation of a new Analysis Surface in the current FRED document. Users can specify the analysis surface size, resolution, rendering area, position / orientation and ray filter.
Navigation
This command can be accessed in the following ways:
•Menu > Create > New Analysis Surface
•Ctrl + Alt + N
•Toolbar button: 
•On the Analysis Surface(s) folder in the object tree view, right mouse click and choose "New Analysis Surface..."

Name
|
Enter the desired name of the analysis surface
|
Analysis n

Autosize to Data
|
Use geometric ray data to autosize window. See how analysis surfaces are sized.
|

|
X, Y Min
|
Minimum X,Y coordinates of window.
|
-0.5, -0.5
|
|
X, Y Max
|
Maximum X,Y coordinates of window.
|

|
|
Scale Factor
|
Scale window size by this amount. This can be useful for rapid re-sizing of the analysis surface without the need to re-specify the X and Y coordinates and divisions.

|
Force 1:1 Aspect Ratio
|
Analysis surface is forced to have equal X and Y dimensions.

|
Interpret Min/Max as Angles (deg)
|
For use with directional analysis. If entries exist for X and Y Min / Max specifications when checked, the values will be interpreted as direction cosines.
