Use the Section Tools > Save Section Grid(s) to Database menu option (geogxnet.dll(Geosoft.GX.Database.SectionGridsToDatabase;Run)*), to import gridded section data into a new or existing database.

Save Section Grid(s) to Database dialog options

Input grid file(s)

Select the input section grid data file(s) to import into a GDB. Each line will be named after the section grid name.

Script Parameter: GRID2ARRAYGDB.GRD

Output database

Select the output database file name in which to save the section data. If the database already exists, new lines will be added to it.

Script Parameter: GRID2ARRAYGDB.GDB

Output array channel

Specify the database array channel, in which to store the section grid(s) in array format. The depth information will be embedded into the array channel header.

Script Parameter: GRID2ARRAYGDB.CHAN

Output elevation channel

Specify the data channel to populate with the elevation. The elevation is compiled as the topmost non-dummy section cell Z position.

Script Parameter: GRID2ARRAYGDB.ELEV

Save trace only

The georeferenced X & Y positions of the top of the section trace are saved as channels. By checking this box, the array data will not be saved.

Application Notes

*The GX.NET tools are embedded in the geogxnet.dll file located in the \Geosoft\Desktop Applications\bin folder. To run this GX interactively (outside the menu), first navigate to the bin directory and provide the GX.NET tool in the specified format. See the Run GX topic for more guidance.

This GX accepts gridded section file(s) as input and saves them into a database as an array channel. The geo-referenced X & Y, and optionally the elevation, are saved as data channels in the same database. The elevation channel contains the first non-dummy value found in each grid.
