Create Source Wizard

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

Sources that may be created using the wizard are:

Surfer Grid file (*.grd)

GeoScene 3D Grid File (*.grd3)

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). Note: 2D grids must have equal node spacing in X and Y.

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.
