Lithology Voxel - View and Modify Attributes

Use the Attributes tab to view and modify the properties of the lithology voxel in your 3D View. For more information on clipping, refer to the Modify 3D Clipping topic. For more information on the colour legend, refer to the Modify 3D Legend topic.

How do you specify the Transparency of the voxel?
How do you modify the Voxel Display?
How do you display a voxel using Smoothing?
How do you add/remove a Bounding box from around the voxel?
How do you display the voxel Visible Cell Statistics?
How do you display the voxel Properties?
How do you control the Resolution of a voxel?

To specify the transparency of the voxel:

The transparency of the voxel can be adjusted interactively by moving the slider on the Transparency bar.

To interactively modify the transparency level, using your cursor, move the slider on the Transparency bar.
To increase the transparency, slide the bar to the right and to decrease the transparency slide the bar to the left.

To modify how a voxel is displayed:

Select the Fill radio button and the voxel will be displayed as filled coloured cubes.
Select the Edges radio button and the voxel will be displayed with cube edges.
Select the Fill with Edges radio button and the voxel will be displayed with both coloured cubes and edges
These radio buttons work as a toggle, selecting one toggles off the other.

To display a voxel using smoothing:

Voxel Smoothing is not available for Lithology voxels since the values are categorical and blending the colours would produce inappropriate results. This option is disabled for this type of voxel.

To add/remove a bounding box from around the voxel:

Select () the Bounding box check box and a box will be added to the voxel. Unchecking the Box outline removes the box.
This check box works as a toggle, you can toggle on or off the voxel box.

To display the voxel visible cell statistics:

Click the Visible Cell Statistics button and the Voxel Statistics for Visible Cells dialog is displayed.
This dialog displays the statistics based on all visible cells (i.e. clipped data is not included in these stats). The statistics parameters displayed are: Voxel Name, Valid Data, Dummies (number of null value cells), Volume, Minimum, Maximum, Mean Value and Standard Deviation.

This dialog can remain open while performing tasks in the 3D Viewer, such as interactively clipping
Click the X on the top right corner to close the dialog and return to the 3D Viewer.

To display the voxel properties:

Click the Properties button and the Voxel Properties dialog is displayed.
The voxel properties displayed are, File name, Element type, Number of cells X, Y, Z, Voxel X, Y, Z cell size, Origin X, Y, Z, Angle, Z Orientation, Coordinate system and Coordinate system units.
Click the Stats button to display the Lithology Voxel Stats dialog. This dialog includes all of the voxel data values, including clipped data.
Click the OK button to close the dialog and return to the Voxel Properties dialog, and then click the Exit button to close the dialog.

To control the resolution of a voxel:

For large voxels that may experience poor performance, a resolution slider will appear below the other voxel controls.
If the 3D view is slow, try sliding the slider to the left, to lower the resolution of the voxel. One notch to the left will double the cell sizes of all cells in the voxel.
This is only a change in how the voxel is rendered or drawn; there is no change to the underlying data.
