Sticky Surface

Geocap has a concept where any surface can be set to be sticky. When a surface is sticky, data like points, lines or images may be displayed onto that surface. This is mainly done by re-sampling lines and displaying them a little bit above the sticky surface. When a surface is activated (or set) as a sticky surface, it is copied to workspace under the name sticky_surface.

Note that points and lines displayed onto a sticky surface are displayed without their original z-values, and this may not be what you intend to do when displaying a foot of slope point or a bathymetric line. Keep that in mind.
