Fault Traces

You may want to use fault traces in your gridding. ProductName can translate the faults you define on an in-line or crossline into contact points in the Map window, where you can pick those fault traces and display them as a layer.

Picking Fault Traces

1. Perform a 3D Volume Fault Interpolation on a horizon.
2. Calculate contact points.
3. In the Drawing Tools toolbar, select to turn your cursor to a .
4. Draw a polygon tracing the fault defined by the contact points.
5. Right-click and select Save Drawing to New Layer and Exit to open the Save Layer As dialog box.
6. Select Fault Trace andchoose an associated horizon from the list.
7. Click <Create New Layer>. ProductName displays the new fault layer in the Layers tab of the Object Manager bar.

Adding a Fault Trace to a Layer

To add another fault trace to the same layer, follow the steps above and in the Save Layer As dialog box click <Append> instead of <Create New Layer>.
