Menu Options
- Warping: Insert a check in the Warping checkbox in the Solid Modeling Options window to bias your solid model with a grid model (surface). This feature works like this: (a) The control point elevations are vertically shifted, based on the corresponding elevations within the reference grid. (b) The solid model is interpolated (based on the vertically shifted coordinates). (c) The corresponding nodes within the model are then shifted back to their proper elevations based on the corresponding elevations within the reference grid. Why? Algorithms such as the horizontal lithoblending strongly bias the interpolation in a horizontal fashion. The "warp" option introduces structure while still allowing the modeling to be horizontally biased.
Click on the Warping tab to access the settings:
- Grid Model: Click here to browse for the grid model (.RwGrd file) to be used to warp the solid model.
! Be sure the grid model and the solid model being created have the same X,Y dimensions and node spacings.
