Seismic Tab

View image.

The Seismic tab of the Object Manager allows you to organize and prioritize the 2D seismic lines and 3D seismic areas in your project. From here, you can choose the data you want active in your project, and what you want displayed on your Map window.

About the seismic tab

The Seismic tab of the Object Manager enables you to group lines and areas together, and work with them as a group in your map. You can turn groups of lines on or off together, or rename or delete them as a group. You can also use this tab to select the order that the lines and areas are drawn in the Map window. The seismic lines appear on the tab in the order that ProductName displays them in the Map window, with lines at the bottom of the list being displayed first. If you rearrange items in the Seismic tab below), ProductName displays them in the Map Window in the new order.

Seismic layer options

The Seismic tab has two different controls you can use to manage your seismic data , the eye icon () and the check box. These controls function independently of each other, and make hiding and displaying seismic lines and areas quick, while enabling you to choose what data to display in your map and to activate in your project.

Having two different controls to manage seismic data is particularly helpful when working in large products with many 2D lines and 3D areas loaded, along with different processing stacks that go along with this data. If you only need to use one processing stack for your data, ProductName enables you to hide the other lines and areas from the project.

Learn about the check box options

• Make All Lines/Areas Active - To quickly activate all the lines or areas in your folder (meaning to include them in calculations and comparisons), select the folder's check box. This automatically selects the check box for each item in that folder. The folder's check box will have a black check mark in it to show that all items are selected.
• Using the folder's check box will not change the state (open or closed) of the eye icons.
• Make All Lines/Areas Inactive - To quickly deactivate all the lines in your folder (meaning to exclude them from calculations and comparisons), clear the folder's check box. This automatically clears the check box for each line in that folder. The folder's check box will be empty to show that all lines are cleared.
• Using the folder's check box will not change the state (open or closed) of the eye icons.
• Make Some Lines/Areas Active - To activate some of the folder's lines, expand the folder and select the check box(es) for the line(s) you want to include in calculations and comparisons. The folder's check box will have a grey check mark in it to show that some lines are selected.

Learn about the eye icon options

• and selected check box - Your seismic line or area will appear on the map, and the data will be active in the project.
• and cleared check box - Your seismic line or area will not appear on the map, and the data will be inactive in the project.
• and selected check box - Your seismic line or area will not appear on the map, and the data will be active in the project.
• and cleared check box - Your seismic line or area will not appear on the map, and the data will be inactive from the project.
• You must have the eye icon open, and the check box selected to view the seismic data on your map.
• If you load seismic as versions of one line, only one check box and one eye will be shown.

Use the seismic tab manager

1. In the Object Manager, click the Seismic tab.
2. Expand the folder for the seismic group you want to view.
