====== Add (multiple) 3D grid ======

This tutorial demonstrates how to import a 3D grid to your project.

**__Requirements:__ **

Open any project, e.g, the project you created in the tutorial:[[:geoscene3d:setup_a_new_project:createnewproject|Creating a New Project]].

==== Step 1. Add 3D grid ====

1. "Add data wizard" {{:geoscene3d:3d_grids:icon_adddatawizard.png}} <font 11pt/Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>→</font>  "Select Single Source" or "Select Multiple (.grd and .grd3 only)" <font 11pt/Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>→</font>  browse to your (.grd3) file <font 11pt/Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>→</font>  next.

  * It is possible to add a single grid og 3D grid, or add multiple grids and 3D grids.

  * The name "3D grids" in the "Object Group Node (optional)" is default, but it's also possible to write another name, then a new group node will be created.

  * The 3D grid will look something like this in the 3D window.

==== Step 2. Change appearance ====

1. To change the colorscale of the 3D grid, go to the Object Manager and right click on "3D" <font 11pt/Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>→</font>  "Object Properties" <font 11pt/Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>→</font>  "Material" <font 11pt/Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>→</font>  "Color Scale".

2. To visualize the grid as cubes, use the "Nodes" menu <font 11pt/Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>→</font>  click visible in "Node Cubes" and the before non-clickable grey options are now active "Mesh. Not mouse clickable (fast)" and "Not hidden, shell (fastest)".

==== Step 3. Visualize 3D slices ====

  * The grid can be further visualized in all 3 dimensions in the slices menu.

1. Click "Add" and "Show/Hide All" <font 11pt/Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>→</font>  afterwards the bar can be moved to the left and right that demonstrates movement in the horisontal XY direction. Remember to click "Visible".{{:geoscene3d:3d_grids:slices_horizontal.png?nolink&}}

  * See picture for change in the horizontal XY direction.{{:geoscene3d:3d_grids:slices_horizontal2.png}}

2. Repeat step 3.1. for the two vertical directions.

  * See picture for change in the vertical ZY direction.
