Basemap: Basic Toolbar

The Basic Toolbar allows you to preform various zooming operations, create and edit culture and re-draw the Basemap.

 

Define Home Position: Defining the home position allows you to quickly move back to a defined zoom level and position.  Set the Basemap to the desired scale and position then click on the "Define Home Position" ( ) icon.  This remembers the current scale and position and can be reverted back to at any time by clicking on the "Go to Home Position" () icon.

Fit Map (Shift + F3): Scale the map to fit all active data into the window. This will cause the entire map to be zoomed to fit inside the window maintaining the aspect ratio.  Previous zooms will not be forgotten, so you can restore the previous view by selecting the zoom out icon.

Zoom In:  Press and hold the left mouse button on the starting point to zoom in on. Drag the mouse, while holding the left mouse button down, to the second point. A rectangle will drag out. Let go of the left mouse button at the point you wish to zoom at. If the region selected is not too small, the select region will be zoomed to fit the window maintaining the aspect ratio.  The ESCAPE key will cause the zoom to be aborted if you are in the process of zooming.

Previous Zoom: Restore the zoom previous to the last zooming operation.  Can be used multiple times as an 'Undo' to zooming operations.

Zoom Out: Zoom the map out by 50% of the current scale. The center of the map will remain in the same position.

Stop: Exit operations such as volumetrics, culture editing, zooming, etc.

Redraw Map:  Redraw the map without reloading the horizons.  If the map did not automatically update all information (e.g. editing culture) the redraw map forces this correction.

  Redraw Map and Horizons (Shift + F5): Redraw and reload the map and horizons.  Reloading the horizons may correct issues involving scaling or the colorbar.

General Basemap Properties: Launch the General Basemap Properties dialog.

Edit Culture (C): Launch the Edit Culture tools.

Post Note: This operation acts the same as "Edit Culture" however, it will default to Sticky Notes as the predefined layer name and Sticky Notes as the predefined culture type.

Volumetrics: Launch the Volumetrics Tool.  This tool is used to measure distance and area.

Save As Filter: Save the selected wells or seismic lines to data filter. Filters can be used to select data or to change the data that is displayed in your project.

/ Send a Selection to the Cross Plot Application: When the Cross Plot application is open, click this icon and then draw a rectangle or polygon on the map. Any data points within the polygon on the map will be highlighted on the cross plot. To move the polygon, on the map place your cursor within the polygon, click and drag. To remove the polygon, click the Esc key on the keyboard. You can draw multiple polygons on the map.
