Q - question

Vertical exaggeration of 3D terrain.

You can find the exaggeration settings in the surface style dialog. On the Triangles tab switch the "Triangle Display Mode" to Exaggerate Elevations and then enter the exaggertaion factor (e.g. 3x, 10x) in "Exaggerate Elevations By":

Terrain exaggeration (CZ version)
