GMS:3D Grid Commands

The Grid menu becomes available when the 3D Grid module is active. The menu has one submenu; the Convert To submenu. Below is a list of commands available in the Grid menu.

Create Grid...

Brings up the Create Finite Difference Grid dialog.

Merge Cells

This command will combine selected cells.

Redistribute Layers...

Brings up the Redistribute Layers dialog.

Named Layer Ranges...

Brings up the dialog better organize materials in multiple layers.

Find Cell...

Locates a cell based on "Cell ID" or "IJK" coordinates.

Find Node...

Locates a node based on "Cell ID" or "IJK" coordinates.

Isosurface Options...

Brings up the Isosurface Options dialog.

Isosurface Volumes...

Brings up the Isosurface Volumes dialog.

Convert To >

Grid → 3D Scatter Points

Creates a scatter point set with a point on the center of each cell with the value of the cell.

Grid → 3D Mesh

Creates a mesh typically from the cell centered values in the grid for the different layers. The first dialog allows choosing between the cell centers or the cell corners to create the mesh. A disclaimer is given that data values are given at the cell center and that datasets will not be converted.

Grid → 2D Grid

Creates a flat grid from the 3D grid dimensions at a given elevation.

Grid → UGrid

Creates an unstructured grid from the 3D grid.

MODFLOW Layers → 2D Scatter Points...

Converts all MODFLOW Layers that have values into scatter point sets.

Layer Contours → Arcs

Converts layer contours into arcs that can be manipulated as drawing objects.

Layer Contours → Shapefile

Exports layer contours to a line shapefile.

3D data → 2D data

Converts the 3D data to 2D data according to a user defined option (average, highest active value, maximum, minimum, sum, and value from k-layer) to get a single value from the multiple layers.

New Material Set

Creates a new material set in the Project Explorer.
