Editing Grid Nodes

RockWorks | ModOps | Grid | Edit

The RockWorks grid editor is used to edit the node values stored in a RockWorks grid model, or to create from scratch a new grid with user declared dimensions and node values.

Note: The Grid Editor is used to modify node "Z" values only. It cannot be used to modify the X,Y location coordinates of the nodes themselves. (See Resampling Grids.)

The Grid Editor is composed of 4 main parts:

• The main part of the Grid Editor is the "Grid Map." This is where the node values for the new grid model or the existing grid model will be displayed.
• The Grid Editor tools are found in the menus and toolbar buttons along the top of the window.
• The Grid Editor options, which adjust how the data is displayed in the Grid Map, are displayed along the left side of the window.
• The Reference area is located at the very top of the window. This lists the X, Y, and Z values where the cursor is currently pointing.
