Faults - contains fault picking

Right mouse button on the icon allows to:

• Add new fault
• Clear faults
• Set meshing mode... (Sticks / Surface)
• Colorize
• Export (To Charisma…)

• Receive faults
• Commit faults

Create a fault in a folder

To create a fault directly in an editable folder or subfolder, right-click the folder under Faults in the Data Manager and choose Add new fault. Enter a fault name, select Time or Depth, and confirm. The new fault is placed in the selected folder.

Convert faults between time and depth

A selected velocity model is required to convert faults between the time and depth domains.

• To convert all faults in a folder, right-click the Time or Depth domain folder, or a folder or subfolder containing faults from one domain, then choose Convert to depth or Convert to time.
• To convert several faults, select fault objects from the same domain, right-click the selection and choose the corresponding conversion command.

Conversion adds a copy of each included fault to the other domain. The original faults and Free sticks remain unchanged, and each converted copy keeps its source fault's color.

The command is disabled when no velocity model is selected and is not shown for a selection that mixes time and depth faults.

Rename a fault

To rename an editable fault, right-click it in the Faults branch of the Data Manager, choose Rename, enter a name that is not already used by another fault, and confirm. The command is disabled for faults that you cannot edit.

Assign Fault Type

Each fault can be classified by its geological type. Right-click an individual fault in the Data Manager and choose Assign Fault Type, then one of:

• Unknown (default)
• Normal
• Reverse
• Strike-slip
• Strike-slip + Normal offset
• Strike-slip + Reverse offset

The selected type is saved as a property of the fault object. The Fault Modeling wizard reads this type automatically for each fault and lets you edit it in the Fault Type column of its Fault Inputs tab.
