The project
| Cut size | 406.4 × 270.933 mm (16 × 10.7 in) |
|---|---|
| Material | 3.175 mm (1/8 in) sheets |
| Vertical exaggeration | 1.5× |
| Elevation range in the frame | 1,771 m |
| Layers | 15, 47.625 mm (1.88 in) tall |
Why these settings
- The canyon is already deep compared with its width, so a low vertical exaggeration keeps the buttes from turning into spikes.
- Framing the rim, Bright Angel Canyon and a stretch of the river gives the piece both edges of the canyon.
Make it yourself
- Open this project in the studio. It opens with the map area and every setting above and generates the terrain. Fresh data can change the layer count slightly from the one listed here, and Undo returns to the project you had open before.
- Check the cut layers and 3D preview, then open Export for the SVG cut panels and assembly guide.
The downloadable project file holds the same settings. Keep it as a record, or open it later with Import project JSON next to the project name in the studio.
To change it, set your own sheet thickness in the Terrain panel or a new size in the Place panel; the studio recalculates the layers. The layered map guide covers kerf, nesting and assembly, and the engraving guide shows how to make the same place as a flat engraving.
