Add Workbench XYZ (by layer) to GeoScene3D

A data file exported in the 'XYZ (by layer)' format will look similar to the example below.
For a guide on how to easily import the file, follow the steps below.


Step 1: Open GeoScene3D

Open GeoScene3D, navigate to the 'Add Data Wizard', and select your file from your computer.
Select ASCII as the file format.

Step 2: File Settings

For GeoScene3D to correctly read the file, you must set the appropriate file settings.
The standard settings from Workbench are as follows:

  • Column Names Line: 35
  • Comment Lines: /
  • Null Character: *
  • Decimal Separator: Dot (.)
  • Data Separator: Space and/or Tab



Step 3: Object Type

Select '1D Geophysical Models (One model layer per line)'.


Step 4: Assign Fields

As GeoScene3D recognizes that you are trying to import 1D (geophysical) models, you must assign which fields contain the necessary values.
Go to 'Assign Fields' and select the columns as shown below.
Be aware that your data may not necessarily contain 30 layers. The number of layers is written within the file.



Step 5: Colorscale

In this step, you can select your color scale. The result shown below uses the default color scale selected by GeoScene3D.
You also have the option to hide your data in the 3D window or create profile lines based on your data.

Step 6: Results

Now you can zoom in on your data and view it in 3D and in profiles.
To see the data on the map, you will need to add it to the map.
If you right-click on your object, you will have a range of different options to modify your geophysical data.
OBS: No DOI values can be imported with this data format.
