Hello,  
I am new to Para View but I have used Techplot and would like to transition to Para View. I am a hydraulic modeler and to view surface water flow I generally use Techplot to view surface stream tracing to determine boundary conditions. However, is it possible to use Para View to do this from a DEM? Thank you in advance for any assistance to this matter.
