Steep Horizon Modeller

This option allows to create surfaces, solids, and block models using different modelling methods. The models are created using data directly from drillhole, composite, or design databases.

The horizon data points from the input database can also be saved into specified layers. This tool also allows the use of some relimiting polygons to include or exclude areas from the output triangulations.

Input

The input can be a drillhole database, a composite database, or CAD data from a design database.

Output

The output will be a set of surface or solid triangulations for each horizon selected. A block model can also be created with the horizon name assigned to a block model variable and the horizon solids assigned to the boundaries.


On the Geology menu, click Steep Horizon Modeller to display the following panel.
