Import Horizon from GDB

Use this dialog to import horizon locations from a channel in a database line into your model. You may then edit and extend the horizon on a "preview" layer in the model, prior to snapping in into the model.

Import Horizon from GDB dialog options

Selected database

Browse to select the database containing the data to be imported.

X channel

The current X channel in the database (read-only).

Y channel

The current Y channel in the database (read-only).

Coordinate system

The coordinate system associated with the current X and Y channels (read-only).

Distance units

The distance units associated with the coordinate system. All distance channels (horizontal or vertical) in the database are assumed to use these units.

Snap distance

Set the tolerance for minimum point separation. If surface points differ by less than this distance, they will be treated as the same point.

Selected line

Select the line in the database to import from the list.

Horizon channel

The channel containing the Z-coordinate of the horizon. These values must match the distance units specified above.

Channel values

Specify whether the horizon values represent Elevation (positive upward) or Depth (positive downward).

Application Notes

Both the model and the database must have valid projected coordinate systems defined in order to import data. Dummy values will be ignored. The X,Y coordinates of each point will be projected onto the model section prior to being imported.

Horizons that fail to intersect existing surfaces within the model in at least two places will fail to import.
