Surface Details
Surface Details options are active when Surface Model is selected in the Structure Definition pane.
Surface definition can derive from any combination of triangulation or grid surfaces. Solid triangulations are not acceptable selections.
As grid models do not exactly honour data points, one method is to use a triangulation surface created from appropriate mapfile points. This procedure guarantees a perfect match at the drillhole intersections.
Define structure by surface model(s)
Select the surfaces that define the uppermost and lowermost extents of the composite. Click Browse to select surfaces from a location other than the current work area.
Define the output Structure name identifier on the Structure Definition pane.
Defining structures is useful when benches are not defined at a stagnant elevation. This is the case when benches are designed to allow for drainage. If using structures to composite across a family of horizon splits, select the uppermost, unmasked split roof and the lowermost, unmasked split floor. These surfaces are usually the roof and floor of the parent horizon.
