2D | 2D scatter points may be converted to other types of data used in GMS, such as a [[GMS:TIN Module|TIN]], [[GMS:2D Mesh Module|2D mesh nodes]], or [[GMS:Observations|observation points]]. 2D scatter points are converted by using the following commands in the ''Scatter Points'' menu: | ||
; Scatter Points → TIN : Creates a set of TIN vertices. These vertices are automatically triangulated to form a TIN. | |||
; Scatter Points → Mesh Nodes : Creates a set of 2D finite element nodes from the points in the active scatter point set. Requires triangulating the nodes to create the 2D mesh. | |||
; Scatter Points → Obs. Pts. : Creates one observation point for each of the scatter points in the active scatter point set. The active dataset values become the measured values for the observation points. Create a coverage with a measurement before executing this command. | |||
; Scatter Points → 3D Scatter Points : Creates a 3D scatter point set from the 2D scatter points. All of the datasets are copied to the 3D scatter points. The Z (elevation) of the 3D scatter points is set to the Z of the 2D scatter points at the time of conversion. | |||
Scatter points can also be converted to either a 2D grid or 3D grid by using the bounding grid commands. | |||
; Bounding 2D Grid... : Creates a 2D grid that bounds or contains all of the scatter points in the active set. Will launch the [[GMS:2D_Grid_Creation_and_Editing#Create_Grid|''Create Finite Difference Grid'']] dialog which allows defining the grid dimensions. | |||
; Bounding 3D Grid... : Creates a 3D grid that bounds or contains all of the scatter points in the active set. Will launch the [[GMS:2D_Grid_Creation_and_Editing#Create_Grid|''Create Finite Difference Grid'']] dialog which allows defining the grid dimensions. | |||
