##Boreholes - Boreholes can be created by importing borehole data by using the [[GMS:Text Import Wizard|Text Import Wizard]], importing sample data after boreholes already exist, or using the borehole tools to manually enter the boreholes. Once a borehole has been created it can be edited in the Borehole Editor or by using the borehole tools. Also an existing borehole can be copied. Boreholes can be locked to prevent them from being edited. | ##Boreholes - Boreholes can be created by importing borehole data by using the [[GMS:Text Import Wizard|Text Import Wizard]], importing sample data after boreholes already exist, or using the borehole tools to manually enter the boreholes.

##TINs - TINs can be created 3 different ways in GMS: manually entering the vertex locations and triangulating, converting a different GMS data type to a TIN, and copying a currently existing TIN.

##[[GMS:Raster Catalog|Raster Catalog]] - a set of rasters defining the top of each horizon (available beginning in version 9.0). | |||
#'''Assign Horizon IDs''' - The term “horizon” refers to the top of each stratigraphic unit that will be represented in a corresponding Solid, HUF unit or Material Layer. Horizons are numbered consecutively in the order that the strata are “deposited” (from the bottom up). Horizons can be assigned to both Boreholes and TINs.

#'''Create Primary 2D Mesh''' - A 2D mesh is needed to be used as a projection for the resulting 3D mesh. A 2D mesh or a meshing coverage needs to be created and selected as the primary mesh. The 2D mesh defines the boundary of the 3D Mesh. Also, the [[GMS:2D Mesh Polygon Attributes|meshing options]] assigned to primary coverage controls the elements of the 3D Mesh that is created.
