The 3D Scatter Point module is used to interpolate from groups of 3D scatter points to meshes, grids, or TINs. Several interpolation schemes are supported including kriging.

Interpolation is useful for setting up input data for analysis codes and it is also useful for site characterization.

Once a scatter point is created or imported, it can be saved as part of the current project using the Save command in the File menu. When scatter point data is exported, the scatter point locations (xyz coordinates) are saved to one file and the data sets are saved to another file.
