Post Instantaneous Slices

How to Create and Post Time/Horizon Slices

1. Create an instantaneous slice file.
2. On the Map menu bar, select Post | Post Time/Horz Slice | Post Amp Slice (or press <S> on your keyboard).
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, or click the Display Previousand Display Next icons on the Posting Status toolbar, 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.

• Use the Slider Bar to navigate through the slices from the seismic window.
• To change the color palette for time and horizon slice viewing, right click on the color bar and select Open CSet from the shortcut menu. Select a new color set from your project directory.
• To clear all postings from the Map window, select Clear Posting from the shortcut menu or press <e> on your keyboard.
