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.

The tool may be moved with the arrow keys, by entering a coordinate, or with the mouse in 3D Viewers, profile windows, or maps. Press the apply button to apply the tool at the current position. In 3D the tool is moved by dragging with the mouse or with CTRL+Click. In 3D the tool may be applied by double clicking to tool handle or geometry preview. | The tool may be moved with the arrow keys, by entering a coordinate, or with the mouse in 3D Viewers, profile windows, or maps.

The tool is applied within an area defined by shape and size parameters. The shape for 2D grids may be Ellipsis or Rectangle, and for 3D grids it may be Ellipsoid, Cylinder, Box, or Profile Polygon. The effective area or volume defined by the geometry may be further limited by region, surface, and value boundaries as described below. | The tool is applied within an area defined by shape and size parameters.
