Post Time and Horizon Slices

Time and horizon slices are posted from amplitude slice files. Time slices are posted relative to a start time, while horizon slices are posted relative to a picked horizon. You can post horizon, fault interpretation, and fault contact points on the slice data (see Posting Interpretation on Slices).

How to Create and Post Time/Horizon Slices

  1. Create an amplitude slice file.
  2. From the Map menu bar, select Post | Post Slice | Post Standard Slice (or press <S> on your keyboard) to open the Post 3D Standard Slice dialog box.
  3. Select the data type. The default data type is your current version, which is the 3D seismic file with the largest extension number. You may select a different version of your 3D file or an instantaneous attribute file.
  4. Select to post the slice relative to time for a time slice or to a picked horizon for a horizon slice under Reference.
  5. Set the Start Time in milliseconds or microseconds for the first slice. If you are posting your slices relative to time zero, your first slice will simply be the slice at the time you enter. If you are posting your slices relative to a horizon, WinPICS will display the slice at the time equal to the horizon time plus or minus the time your enter.
  6. Set the Increment Time for scrolling through the slices.
  7. Click <OK> to post the slice on the map window. The status bar at the top of the map window gives the time of the slice.
  8. Press the <+> and <-> keys on your keyboard to move up and down the seismic volume at the specified increment.
  9. To change your start time, reference, or time increment select Post Amp Slice again.
