Horizons with Rasters Workflow

To use raster to generate solids, use the following steps:

1. Import project data.

1. Import raster data. Use the File | Open... command to import GIS data files such as Shapefiles or raster files. Alternatively, drag and drop the file into the Graphics Window in GMS. 2. Import TIN elevation (optional). Use the File | Open... command to import TIN files. Alternatively, drag and drop the file into the Graphics Window in GMS. Note: TINs can also be generated in GMS using scatter point elevation data.

2. Create raster catalog.
In the Project Explorer, select all raster files to be included in the raster catalog. Right-click on the selected raster files and select the New Raster Catalog menu command. Enter horizon IDs, assign materials, and enter fill in the Raster Catalog dialog. To generate solids, the Fill option must be selected for at least one raster.

3. Generate solids from the raster catalog.
Right-click on the raster catalog in the Project Explorer and select the Horizons→Solids menu command. Use the Horizons to Solids wizard to generate solids.
