Preparing surfaces for modeling

After importing your surface data with the data strip, the next step is to prepare this data for modeling. You typically use the prepare > Surfaces strip if you do not have a seismic interpretation (in which case you would use the prepare > Seismic strip) and intend to work with imported surfaces. Also, you would use this strip when you have interpretations from multiple seismic surveys with multiple inline/crossline resolutions, that you want to group together into one consistent set of surfaces. The surfaces you prepare with the strip are stored in a Surface Set (depth domain only) which can be used as input for fault modeling or 3D structural modeling.

In the same strip you find the Create Surface workflow and the Interpolate Property workflow with which you can create surfaces and (interpolated) properties from a wide range of input data types. There is also a tool to create properties by performing surface-to-surface property operations based (in the Tools section of the strip).

A more extensive set of tools for preparing surfaces, categorized by representation, you find in the Post-Processing Tools strip.

You can also create and edit the attributes or properties of surface representations (polyline sets, point sets and tri-mesh) using the Property Tool (Workspace >Tools) in combination with the Function Tool (Workspace >Tools).
