Import Symbols

Use this dialog to import symbols from space-delimited ASCII files into GM-SYS Profile Modelling. Specify the fields containing each type of data. You may omit or ignore the Symbol Index, Dip, and Susceptibility fields, if you desire.  Leave the field blank or enter zero if the column is not present in the data file.

File...

Browse to select the file containing the anomaly data.

Direction

Specify whether the Z values in the file are positive Up (elevation) or Down (depth)

Coordinates

Specify whether the X,Y coordinates in the file represent Model coordinates (distance along line, offset from line), or Real World XYZ coordinates.  The Real World coordinates in the input file must share the same coordinate system as the model.

Skip lines

Specify the number of header lines in the file to skip. Header lines not skipped will be imported as zeroes in all fields.
Field Unit/Index

X

Specify the column containing the X coordinates and the units of those values.

Y

Specify the column containing the Y coordinates and the units of those values.

Z

Specify the column containing the Z coordinates of the stations and the units of those values.

Symbol

Specify the column containing the integer index for different symbol types.

Dip

Specify the column containing the dip data, to determine the direction for plotting dip-tails on the symbols.

Susceptibility

Specify the column containing susceptibility values, for scaling the dip-tails.
