-NOTE: The Grid Editor is affective only within the current scene extent. If the current scene extent does not cover the full extent of the edited grid source file the full grid will be update from the currently edited grid. Beware of this when editing the grid close to the edge.+//NOTE: The Grid Editor is affective only within the current scene extent.

-When editing 2D grids the node elevation is changed. When editing 3D grids the node value is changed. 2D grids are allways floating point value grids whereas 3D grids may be either floating point or discrete value grids, e.g., lithology. The availability of the grid editor form controls change according to the grid format. For floating point grids the node elevation or value is changed numeically whereas discrete value grid values are changed by assigning a symbol from a symbol list. +When editing 2D grids the node //elevation// is changed.

 Only Surfer Binary grid version 7 (default in GeoScene3D) can be edited. If this format is used only the edited section of the grid is written back to the source which is a lot faster than writing the entire grid. Only Surfer Binary grid version 7 (default in GeoScene3D) can be edited.

-Editing is done by moving and applying a tool that applies an algorithm within a geometry. The geometry of the tool is displayed in 3D Viewers, maps, profile windows and in a sperate window ( [[:geoscene3d:application:editor_tools:grid_editor:tool_algorithm_preview|Tool Algorithm Preview]] ). For 2D grids the 3D Viewer window preview show the grid as it will look after the tool is applied. For 3D grids the 3D Viewer window shows the tool geometry only.+

 The easiest way to use the tool is probably by using dedicated mouse tools in 3D viewers, profile windows, and map windows (the tools for the 3D viewer windows are found in the main toolbar). Tools for profiles and map windows are found in the profile and map windows respectively. I all cases the tools are identical, but the result is slightly different because of the different geometry the three environments offer. The mouse tools are described below. The easiest way to use the tool is probably by using dedicated mouse tools in 3D viewers, profile windows, and map windows (the tools for the 3D viewer windows are found in the main toolbar).
