UGrid in Project Explorer

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

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.

UGrid Dataset

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.
