Data source
[1]
Data source for the uneven surface. The data is interpreted based on the selection for Surface normal. If surface normal is global Z, the first column is X values, and the first row is Y values. If surface normal is global Y, the first column is Z values, and the first row is X values. If surface normal is global X, the first column is Y values, and the first row is Z values.
