GMS:3D Scatter Point Commands

The Scatter Points menu become available when the 3D Scatter Point module is active. The menu has one submenu; the Interpolation submenu. The menu has the following commands:

• New Scatter Point Set

Creates a new dataset.

• Lock All Scatter Points

Prevents adjusting the location of scatter points.

• Scatter Point Settings...

Opens the Scatter sets tab under the Preferences dialog.

• Find Point...

User may find a point based on ID number or text label.

• Interpolation >

• Interpolation Options...

Sets the interpolation options used when interpolating to other objects. The interpolation options are saved with the project.

• Interpolate → Active TIN

Interpolate the active dataset on the active scatter set to the active TIN.

• Interpolate → 2D Mesh

Interpolate the active dataset on the active scatter set to the 2D mesh.

• Interpolate → 2D Grid

Interpolate the active dataset on the active scatter set to the 2D grid.

• Interpolate → 3D Mesh

Interpolate the active dataset on the active scatter set to the 3D mesh.

• Interpolate → 3D Grid

Interpolate the active dataset on the active scatter set to the 3D grid.

• Interpolate → UGrid

Interpolate the active dataset on the active scatter set to the active UGrid.

• Gaussian Simulation Options...
• Run Gaussian Simulation
• Jackknifing...
• Summary...

Brings up the Jacknifing Summary dialog.

• Bounding 2D Grid...

Creates a 2D Grid that bounds or contains all of the scatter points in the active set.

• Bounding 3D Grid...

Creates a 3D Grid that bounds or contains all of the scatter points in the active set.

• Scatter Points → Mesh Nodes

Creates nodes from the scatter points for a 2D mesh.

• Scatter Points → Obs. Pts.

Creates Observation Points from the active dataset. A coverage that is set for observation data must already exist.

• Merge Scatter Point Sets

Creates a merged scatter set from two or more scatter sets selected with the Select Scatter Sets tool.
