GMS:UGrid Commands

Various menu commands are available when right-clicking on UGrid items in the Project Explorer.

Project Explorer

Empty UGrid 2D...: Creates a new UGrid object in the Project Explorer. This UGrid will initially have no parameters or properties set. This allows properties and parameters to be defined at a later time. Elevation data can be interpolated to the UGrid.
New UGrid 2D...: Brings up the New UGrid dialog.
New UGrid 3D...: Brings up the New UGrid dialog.

Right-clicking on a UGrid item in the Project Explorer provides the following menu commands:

New MODFLOW: Creates a new MODFLOW simulation.
Export...: Brings up a dialog that allows exporting the UGrid to a file.
Triangulate: Creates triangles from existing vertices on the active TIN using the Delauney criteria. If triangles already exist, they will be deleted.
Isosurface Volumes
Extrude Down To 3D UGrid...: Brings up a dialog allowing you to specify layer thicknesses to create a 3D UGrid from a 2D UGrid.
3D ￫ 2D...: Creates a UGrid with 2D cells from a specified layer of a 3D UGrid.
Zoom To Extents: Frames the Graphics Window around the selected objects.
Unlock/Lock to Prevent Editing: Can be turned on or off to allow editing. When in the locked status, cells and points cannot be deleted nor can triangulated elements be split, merged, or swapped. By default a ugrid is locked when first created.
Properties: Brings up the UGrid Properties dialog.

Right-clicking on a UGrid dataset brings up the following commands:

Z Values → Dataset: Creates a dataset from the Z locations of the cells or points. Only for 2D UGrids.
Map to Z Values: Moves the cell or point Z locations to the values in the dataset. Only for 2D UGrids.
Convert to Node Dataset: Converts a cell centered dataset to a node dataset. Node dataset values are assigned by averaging the connected cells.
Convert to Cell Dataset: Converts a node dataset to a cell centered dataset. Cell dataset values are assigned by averaging the connected nodes.
Interpolate to: Brings up the Interplation Options dialog. The data object to interpolate to is selected in this dialog.
Interpolate to Raster: Opens the Interpolate to Raster dialog.
Properties: Opens the Dataset Info dialog.
