Create a Fence in 2D Mode

Use 2D Mode to create fences composed of 2D line segments. Follow these steps:

Zoom your map to the location where you want to create your fence.
Click to turn on Fence Mode (or press <f> on your keyboard).
Click | to switch to All Mode (or press <a> on your keyboard).
Move your cursor to a point at the end of a 2D line or to an intersection between 2D lines (your cursor will turn into a circle), and left-click the seismic data in the Map window to begin the first fence segment.
Move your cursor to the end point of the line (or to an intersection with another 2D line) and left-click to end the first segment. WinPICS will highlight the completed segment as a bold magenta line. View image

By default, 2D mode selects lines in Snap Mode, which means that you have to click on an intersection or the end point of a line to create a segment. However, if you hold the <Shift> key, you can switch to Arbitrary Mode, which means that you can click anywhere on the 2D line to create the fence.

If you click on the map to create a segment, and you decide you didn't want to click in that location, click (or press your keyboard's <Backspace> key) to delete that fence point.

Continue creating segments in the same manner until you have selected all the segments for your fence.

Double-click the map to end your fence (alternatively, you can select | or press <Shift> + <d> on your keyboard to end the fence). WinPICS will highlight the selected lines in a bold yellow color, and it will automatically open a Seismic window to display your fence. View image

To add a 2D line segment to your fence that does not share an intersection with the current 2D fence segment, click (or press <f> on your keyboard) to insert a fence gap, which displays as a dashed line extending from the end of the last segment. Move your mouse to the desired location in the map, and left-click to create the beginning of the line segment you want to join to the current fence.
You can also add segments from other data types (For example, synthetic wells or 3D data). Read more.
