====== Create Source Wizard ======

The Create Source Wizard is used to create a new source file.

Sources that may be created using the wizard are:\\
[[:geoscene3d:project_content:dataformats:surfer_grid_file_format|Surfer Grid file]] (*.grd)\\
[[:geoscene3d:project_content:dataformats:geoscene3d_3d_grid_file_format|GeoScene 3D Grid File]] (*.grd3)\\
[[:geoscene3d:project_content:sources:csv_file_source|CSV File (*.csv, *.txt)]]

==== Type Page ====

Select the main type of source to create\\
__Grid File:__ Select to create a grid file\\
__CSV File:__ Select to create a CSV file
==== Sub Type Tab ====

Select a sub type for the new source files.\\
__2D Grid File (*.grd):__ The new source file is a surfer grid file\\
__3D Grid File (*.grd3):__ The new source file is a GeoScene3D grid file\\
CSV File (*.csv): CSV text file with the extension *.csv\\
CSV File (*.txt): CSV text file with the extension *.txt

==== Grid Geometry Page ====

In the geometry grid tab the size and geometry of the resulting grids is defined.

**Grid Extent (corner node coordinates)** \\
Enter the min and max X, Y, and Z coordinates of the resulting grid.\\
__Adjust:__ Adjusts (rounds) grid extent to the selected node spacing and node count. Max = min + (node spacing * node count).\\
__Scene Extent:__ Sets grid extent to the current scene extent.

**Node Spacing** \\
Distance between grid nodes in X, Y, and Z directions. Node spacing is a function of the side length of the grid and the number of nodes. Example: X node spacing = X side length / (X node count - 1). <font 11px/inherit;;inherit;;inherit>Note: 2D grids must have equal node spacing in X and Y.</font>

**Node Count** \\
Number of grid nodes in X, Y, and Z directions.

**Grid Info** \\
Information about width, height, depth, and number of nodes in the resulting grid.

==== Grid Values Tab (2D Grids) ====

**Initial Grid Node Values** \\
Select initial value for grid nodes\\
__Blank:__ Each grid node have a blank value\\
__Value:__ Each grid node have a defined value
==== Grid Values Tab (3D Grids) ====

**Value Type** \\
Select the node value type for the 3D grid (floating point or discrete). "Single" is recommended for floating point grids. "Byte" is recommended for symbol grids, e.g., lithology. Memory use = nodes in grid * bytes per node.

**Initial Grid Node Values** \\
Select initial value for grid nodes\\
__Blank:__ Each grid node have a blank value\\
__Value:__ Each grid node have a defined value
==== CSV File Page ====

Define column names for the CSV file. The columns ID, X, Y, and Z are defined by default.

==== Location Tab ====

The new source will be created at this location\\
__Source Filename:__ Select a location for the new source
