Creating surfaces, markers and well designs

Apart from the tools to create surfaces, there are tools for well design tasks and to create a marker in the 'Create' section of the floating palette. These tools are covered in the sections on well planning, see Graphically creating wells and Graphically creating well pads for more on these.

The top row of the floating palette consists of a group of create tools. These tools are partly available when you work in a 2D View or cross-section view, and fully available when you work in a 3D View. Depending on the type of active view e.g. Well View, CoView, different create tools can appear in the floating palette.

Create tools

As soon as you click on any of the create tools, the floating palette expands with the editing tools relevant to the created object. You can use the editing tools to edit an existing object in the view.

	Add Polyline Set Create an event named Polyline Set 1 in the JewelExplorer (under Data > Faults). Note that this event does not contain polylines yet. To add polylines to it, click on Polyline Set 1 in the JewelExplorer and the tools for creating and editing polylines become available in the floating palette. You can add polyline nodes in one of the following ways: on a displayed object outside an object, in empty space an empty view This means that you can create data anywhere in space, create and digitize boundaries and faults around displayed objects and make use of the blank spaces between data.
	Add Tri-mesh Create an event named Tri-mesh 1 in the JewelExplorer (under Data > Horizons). Note that this event does not contain any triangles yet. To add a triangle to it, click on Tri-mesh 1 in the JewelExplorer and the tools for creating and editing tri-meshes become available in the floating palette. Before you add a triangle you must have an object visible in your 3D View. It is recommended to select the 'Lock selected object' check box in the floating tools palette. This option ensures that the tool stays locked on the newly created tri-mesh.
	Add Point Set Clicking on the icon creates an event named Pointset 1 in the JewelExplorer (under Data >Faults). Note that this event does not contain nodes yet. For adding points to it, click on Pointset 1 in the JewelExplorer and the tools for creating and editing nodes become available in the floating palette. You can add nodes in one of the following ways: on a displayed object outside an object, in empty space an empty view This means that you can create data anywhere in space, create and digitize boundaries and faults around displayed objects and make use of the blank spaces between data.
	Create Marker Clicking on the icon opens the settings section of the floating palette. Here, you select a marker set to which you will add the marker to, a name for the marker and the surface type. Once you start clicking along the wellbore in the associated view, the marker folder is created in the marker set in the JewelExplorer. Also, the Pick and Move Marker tool becomes available in the floating palette.
	Create Vertical Well Design Click on the icon to activate the tool. In your view, click at the location where you want to add the well. This will generate a well design and a well in the JewelExplorer. To visualize the well, check the item(s) in the JewelExplorer. After generation of the well, the 'Wellbore Tools' section on the floating palette is activated.
	Create Deviated Well Design Click on the icon to activate the tool. In your view, click at the location where you want to add the well. This will generate a well design and a well in the JewelExplorer. To visualize the well, check the item(s) in the JewelExplorer. After generation of the well, the 'Wellbore Tools' section on the floating palette is activated with the Add Target tool active. Click at the locations in your view where you want to add a target for the deviated well. When you are finished with adding targets, click the tool again to deactivate it.
	Create Well Pad Click on the icon to activate the tool. In your view, click at the location where you want to add the well pad. This will generate a well pad in the JewelExplorer and open the Well Pad Preliminary form where you can view and modify the settings for the selected well pad. For more information, see Well Pad Preliminary.

You cannot create a 2D grid using this floating palette.

New polyline sets and point sets are created as faults by default, while tri-meshes are created as horizons. It is possible to change the geological type in the Property Inspector.
