Event Type

The event type for a horizon determines how auto picking, lateral picking, and volume picking place your picks on traces. There are six event types:

The manual and sticky event types are both manual force modes. Horizons defined as manual can only be picked using the manual picking mode. Horizons defined as sticky can only be picked using the sticky picking mode. Faults always have a manual event type.

Setting the Event Type

  1. On the Layer Manager bar, click the Horizons tab.
  2. Right-click on a horizon, or fault and select Properties from the shortcut menu.
  3. In the Edit Properties dialog box, locate the event you want to edit, and double-click its value under the Event column for the horizon of interest. This will run you through a list of event types.
