Volume/Surface Options Window

Surfaces Displayed   For 3D triangulation visualisations, this allows the selective calculation for individual stratigraphic layers and discontinuities (such as faults) to be performed. To select multiple surfaces, use alt-mouse click (or Apple-mouse click on Macintosh computers).
  All Surfaces To select all layers, click in the All Surfaces check box
Calculation Type XYZ Colour An XYZ Colour plot colours surfaces according to their position in space.
  Shading A Shading plot, uses a simulated Lambert shading on the surfaces.
  Lines A Lines plot, colours the triangulation according to the layer colour, but leaves their interiors white.
  DXF 3dFace A DXF 3d Face file saves the surfaces as a DXF file using 3Dface objects.
  DXF Polyline Face A DXF Polyline Face file saves the surfaces as a DXF file using Polyline objects.
  Vulcan A Vulcan file saves the surfaces as an ASCII file using that can be converted into native Vulcan triangulations via utility routines.
Default Block Diagram   Controls the default view style for block diagrams, via the Block Diagram Options window
