In some drawing packages, the drawing takes place in a purely two-dimensional medium. However, since the objects in WMS can be three-dimensional, the drawing objects must be positioned in three-dimensional space. This is accomplished by utilizing a drawing depth when drawing objects are created. When drawing objects are first created, they are created in a plane that is orthogonal to the current viewing angle. For example, in plan view, objects are drawn in an xy plane. When drawing in a plane, a depth must be defined for the plane. For example, when drawing in the xy plane, the drawing depth is the z coordinate of the xy plane.

The drawing depth is designated with the '''Drawing Depth''' command in the '''Drawing Objects''' menu. Two options are provided in the associated dialog: the objects can either be drawn at the average depth of the visible objects or drawn at a user-specified depth.
