Up Axis

upAxis

x=0, y=1, z=0

Specify the position that of the point that the fields look towards.

Max Distance maxDistance -1 Specify the maximum distance that the look at applies to.
Rotate X rotateX on Define whether the field rotates on the X axis.
Rotate Y rotateY on Define whether the field rotates on the Y axis.
Rotate Z rotateZ on Define whether the field rotates on the Z axis.
Display Tab
Draw Bounding Box preview_bounds off Draw the bounding box of the field if it has one.
Draw Preview (SDF and Density only) preview_on off Draw a rough preview of the field.
Preview Opacity preview_opacity 0.5 The opacity at which to draw the preview.
Scale preview_scale 1 A value by which the field is multiplied before drawing. You may need to increase this to display faint volumes for example.
Offset preview_offset 0 A value added to the field before drawing (after scaling).
Detail preview_detail 1 The detail level at which the preview is drawn. Large values are more accurate but slower to draw.
