Create Stations at Constant Elevation

Use this option to generate evenly-spaced calculation stations across your model. This is a quick way to generate stations for a theoretical model. Observed values will be "dummy" values and will not appear in the anomaly panes. You have the option of importing actual observations later, or copying values from a spreadsheet into the Anomaly Spreadsheet.

Create Stations with Dummy Observations dialog options

Starting X coordinate

Specify the initial station location.

Spacing

Enter the distance between consecutive stations.

Number of stations

Specify the total number of stations to create.

  • You can specify the Number of stations OR the Last X coordinate.
  • Last X coordinate

    Specify the location of the last station coordinate.

  • You can specify the Number of stations OR the Last X coordinate.
  • Reference elevation

    Input the elevation to be used for all new stations.

    Elevation relative to

    Specify whether the elevation is relative to sea level or topography.
  • You can create all of the stations at some constant elevation (e.g. 0) and later move the stations to the topographic surface or draped at a constant elevation above the topographic surface using the Elevation Adjust functions in the Profile menu.
