====== Import from surface ======

//This tutorial ////shows how to make a layer boundary from a surface. XYZ Points are samplet from an existing 2D surface and imported into interpretations point database table//

**__Requirements:__ **

   * Interpretation points
   * 2D Surface

----

==== Step 1. Import surface points ====

1. See [[:geoscene3d:building_a_layered_model:modelsetup-stepbystep|Setting up Data for Modelling]].

  * The terrain and the kriging surface can be visualized in the 3D window and the profile. The kriging surface will be used to create the layer boundary for L1.

  * In the GeoScene3D project there is a bar for editing the different surfaces and points.

2. Click the point layer you want to create by using a surface.

3. “Actions…” –> “Database Tools” –> “Import from Surface”.

4. “Surface: Kriging”. Also give a name for the “Import Description” –> Import.

5. In the “XYZ Points Editor” a small icon can be clicked {{:geoscene3d:building_a_layered_model:databasetools:icon_interpolation_point_update.png?nolink&}}when points are ready for interpolation or if the grid needs to be updated after the edit of points –> "stop edit session" {{:geoscene3d:building_a_layered_model:databasetools:icon_stopeditsession.png?nolink&}}.

  * The resultant profile after the import of the kriging surface
