In addition to selecting one cell at a time, the '''Find Grid Cell''' dialog can select an entire row column or layer. A zero may be entered in either of the I or J fields indicating that all cells in that direction will be selected. The ID of the cells that will be selected is also displayed as static text at the top of the dialog. | In addition to selecting one cell at a time, the '''Find Grid Cell''' dialog can select an entire row column or layer.

The coordinates of the cell boundary intersection are displayed in the [[GMS:The GMS Window|''Edit Window'']] as the boundaries are dragged. If the current view is not the plan view, the dragging movement is constrained to follow the Z axis. The coordinates of a selected boundary intersection can also be edited by directly entering the coordinates in the [[GMS:The GMS Window|''Edit Window'']]. | ||

The new boundary is inserted at the cursor location when the mouse button is clicked. Inserting a new cell boundary changes the dimensions of the grid and all data sets associated with the grid are deleted. If the ''control'' key is held down while executing this command, the row will be evenly divided. | | align = "center" | [[Image:Tool_AddIBoundary.GIF]] || '''Add i Boundary''' || The '''Add i Boundary''' tool is used to insert a new i boundary into the grid.
