Fault Properties: Menus

The Fault Properties menus let you access editing tools, including copying fault, and let you open additional applications to help manage and manipulate your faults. Most options available in the Fault Properties can be accessed by right clicking in the table and selecting from the shortcut menu, or by using  the toolbars.

Delete: Delete the currently select fault or faults. A dialog will pop up to confirm that you wish to delete the faults. You can also delete faults by selecting them and hitting the Delete key.

Delete Triangles: Delete the triangles (surfaces) for the currently selected fault or faults. Fault segments will remain unaffected. A dialog will pop up to confirm that you wish to delete the triangles.

Copy: Copy the currently selected faults to an internal buffer for duplication using the paste function. This function can also be accessed using the hot key combination Ctrl+C. This is very useful when you wish to perform some test edits on a fault without modifying the original fault.

Paste: Paste the faults copied with the copy function into the project. Faults will be named "Copy of ...". For example if you copy and paste fault Red the copy will be named Copy of Red. This function can also be performed using the hot key combination Ctrl+V.

Rename: Make the name of the currently selected fault editable. Edit the name in place and hit return to update the fault. A single fault must be selected. You can also rename a fault by double clicking on the name of the fault.

Select All: A quick way to select all the faults. This function can also be performed using the hot key combination Ctrl+A.

Refresh: Reload the list in the properties window.  It may happen that this list is not up to date.  Using this item will update the list.  This can also be accessed using the F5 hot key.
