 = 3D Column Density Map (CDM) Plots =
 
+Column density maps integrate the density over the time interval for which your run was produced along each axis. Essentially you see whatever you plan to simulate evolves with time as some sort of kinematic cross section down x, y or z axis. One can create a "corner" or 3D box figure of these cross sections that we call column density maps, as illustrated by '''Figures 7 and 8'''. The procedure is like so:
+
+1. Hide all but one data set. Go to operators +/- > Transforms > Elevate. Ensure that you elevate with zero height as shown in Figure 2.

+'''Figure 2.''' Prior to drawing mass1, we are going to elevate it with zero height.

+
+'''Figure 3.''' The following result of elevating with zero height. You have a slice that you can manipulate and rotate with the mouse in your window.
+
+2. Now we can going to transform this plane: Operators +/- > Transform > Transform. Now you are faced with a series of tabs, or options: Arbitrary, Coordinate and Linear. You may need to use Arbitrary later on to align the sink particles on your .bov file, however for select the linear tab.

+'''Figure 4.''' When you initially open up the transform operator on your slice. Again, your data set reverts back to being "ready to draw" green.

+
+'''Figure 5.''' The linear tab provides a series of inputs for a rotation matrix. For mass1, simple let it be projected by the identity matrix. The other two masses will require a different transform.
