# Step 3: Changing the Chart Appearance

## Content

In this step you will change the chart type to **SurfaceZone**, set the appearance for the chart floor, rotate the chart, and change its elevation angle.

1. Select the [C1Chart3D](/componentone/api/wpf/online-chart3d/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.C1Chart3D.4.6.2/C1.WPF.C1Chart3D.C1Chart3D.html) control in your window and click **View \| Properties** **Window**.
2. Change the chart type by clicking the drop-down arrow next to the [ChartType](/componentone/api/wpf/online-chart3d/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.C1Chart3D.4.6.2/C1.WPF.C1Chart3D.C1Chart3D.ChartType.html) property and selecting **SurfaceZone**.
3. Click the drop-down arrow next to the [FloorAppearance](/componentone/api/wpf/online-chart3d/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.C1Chart3D.4.6.2/C1.WPF.C1Chart3D.C1Chart3D.FloorAppearance.html) property and select **ZoneContour**.
4. Enter **170** next to the [Elevation](/componentone/api/wpf/online-chart3d/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.C1Chart3D.4.6.2/C1.WPF.C1Chart3D.C1Chart3D.Elevation.html) property.
5. Set the [Azimuth](/componentone/api/wpf/online-chart3d/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.C1Chart3D.4.6.2/C1.WPF.C1Chart3D.C1Chart3D.Azimuth.html) property to 20.

The XAML markup will now look similar to the following:

```xml
<Window x:Class="WFPChart3DQuickstart.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" xmlns:c1chart3d="http://schemas.componentone.com/xaml/c1chart">
    <Grid>
        <c1chart3d:C1Chart3D Height="150" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,10,0,0" Name="c1Chart3D1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="200" ChartType="SurfaceZone" CeilAppearance="None" FloorAppearance="ZoneContour" Elevation="170" Azimuth="20">
            <c1chart3d:GridDataSeries ZDataString="1 1 1,2 2 2,3 3 3" />
        </c1chart3d:C1Chart3D>
    </Grid>
</Window>
```

In the next step you will add a legend for the chart.
