Creating a 3D grid

The first step of the the 3D Gridding workflow (model > 3D Grid > Create 3D Grid) allows you to create a new grid, or select an existing grid to modify it. The grid is represented as a separate item and can be found in the JewelExplorer under 3D Grids.

3D Grids can be copied between instances of the application via drag and drop (only between instances of the application that have the same version). The drag and drop operation for a 3D Grid copies the structural model it depends on, and all its assigned data, including surfaces, wells, and the stratigraphic and fault models. See drag and drop in the JewelExplorer topic for more information.

To create a new 3D grid

  1. Click the Create 3D Grid button in the 3D Gridding section of the model > 3D Grid strip.
  2. Select Create new in the drop-down list.
  3. Type in a name for the 3D grid in the adjacent text field.
  4. Click Apply to create the 3D grid and keep the Create 3D Grid form open, or click OK to create the grid and proceed to the next step, Assign Data.

To select an existing 3D grid

  1. Click Create 3D Grid in the 3D Gridding section of the model > 3D Grid strip.
  2. Select the 3D grid of interest in the drop-down list.
  3. Click OK to proceed to the Assign Data step.
