Adding Layer Marks to a Raster Log

Layer marks can be added to a raster log. Layer marks are the tops or bottoms of the zones or layers that should be connected in the cross section. Layer marks are specified by a depth table. A layer mark table may be automatically added when creating a registered raster log from a registration file. A layer mark table can be imported by specifying the table in the Log page, or the layer marks can be manually added to the log.

 

Importing Layer Marks

The layer marks are imported by specifying the Layer mark table and Layer mark column in the Property Manager.

  1. Click on the raster log in the borehole view or Object Manager.

  2. Click the Log tab to view the Log page in the Property Manager.

  3. Click the button in the Layer mark table field.

  4. In the Open dialog, select the file containing the layer mark data.

  5. Click Open.

  6. Specify the column definitions in the Specify Worksheet Column Definitions dialog.

  7. Specify the data positions in the Specify Data Type and Column Positions dialog.

  8. Select the correct column in the Layer mark column field in the Log page.

The layer marks are imported and added to the raster log.

  5. Type a layer name in the Add Layer dialog or select a layer name from the Please name this layer list.

  6. Click OK in the Add Layer dialog. The layer mark is added and indicated by a blue line in the log. The layer name and depth is displayed to the right of the log.

  9. In the Layer Marks Table dialog, specify whether or not to save the layer marks to a table, the table name, and Pre-clear option.

  10. Click OK to save the changes and add the layer marks to the raster log.

The layer marks have now been added to the raster log. If the layer marks were saved to a table, a new table is created or an existing table is updated depending on the selections in the Layer Marks Table dialog.

 

Editing Existing Layer Marks

Existing layer marks can be edited or removed by clicking the existing layer mark while in pick layers mode. To edit or remove a layer mark:
