2D Interpolant Meshes

A 2D interpolant can be created using any points object in the project. A 2D interpolant is built using the same algorithm as the project’s topography surface (see Defining a Topography). This often this gives a smoother result in less time than when using the same data to build a 3D interpolated mesh. A 2D interpolant can work with vertically-oriented data such as fault planes, whereas building a topography is meant to work with primarily horizontal data.

To create a 2D interpolant, right-click on the Meshes folder and select New 2D Interpolant Mesh. In the window that appears, select from the points objects available in the project.

The mesh’s extents can be independent of other objects in the project or you can use the extents of another object. Surface resolution can be adaptive or non-adaptive. You can set a reference plane to set the direction of the best fit through the data; this is useful when working with data that is not primarily horizontal.
