Step-by-Step Summary
! Be sure the Surface Topography Grid you specify has the same node dimensions and spacing in the X,Y directions as your stratigraphy model.
Follow these steps to create a 2-dimensional map that displays the stratigraphy zones that intersect a surface model:
The program will use the selected settings to create grid models of the stratigraphy layers (tops and bases) in the project. It will then build a temporary solid model from the bottom-up, by "stacking" the grid surfaces.
The program will then load the specified Surface Grid model. For each grid node, it will determine the stratigraphy type in the corresponding location in the temporary solid model, and store that stratigraphy type in the output grid model.
The program will then create the 2D stratigraphy (geology) map using the requested diagram settings. The completed diagram will be displayed in a RockPlot2D tab in the Options window, if requested.
! * If the stratigraphy surfaces look OK and you just need to adjust one of the diagram settings, you don't need to keep re-gridding over and over: Un-check Interpolate Surfaces and the map will be built with the new diagram settings from the existing grid models.
