You will also need to fill in the :guilabel:`Band` to pick values from

* :guilabel:`Fixed Elevation Range`: The raster layer (or selected raster band)
910+
is associated with a fixed elevation range.
911+
This mode can be used when a layer has a single fixed elevation or a range (slice) of elevation values.
912+
If a range is specified, pixels will be extruded over this range.
913+
You can set the :guilabel:`Lower` and :guilabel:`Upper`
914+
elevation range values for the layer, and specify whether the lower or upper :guilabel:`Limits` are inclusive or exclusive.
915+
* :guilabel:`Fixed Elevation Range Per Band`: Each band in the raster can have a fixed elevation range
916+
associated with it. This is designed for data sources that expose elevation-related data in bands, such as NetCDF files.
917+
For example, a raster with temperature data at different ocean depths.
918+
When rendering, the uppermost matching band will be selected and used for the layer's data.
919+
This feature is exposed as a user-editable table for raster bands with lower and upper values.
920+
Users can either populate the lower and upper values manually
921+
or use an |expression| :guilabel:`Expression` to auto-fill all band values based on expression.
922+
The expression-based fill allows you to design expressions that extract useful information from band names.

For example, extracting the depth value from a band name like "Band 001: depth=-5500 (meters)".
