Grid Smoothing/Attributes

The Grid Smoothing/Attributes application allows you to run a smoother across a grid or calculate an attribute over the surface. The same operations can be performed on horizons so they do not have to be gridded first. 

General Information

Grids

Select the grids you want included in the smoothing or attribute operation. Left click to select a grid, or use the Ctrl key on your keyboard to select multiple grids, and then use the selection arrows to move the grids to the Selected list. Alternately, you can move a single grid to the Selected list by double clicking on it.

To to help you  make your grid selections, you can sort any column by left clicking on the column header, you can apply a filter (), or you can type a search string into the search bar to limit the list using Name, or Owner information.

For additional selection and navigation options right click on the list of grids to access the shortcut menu.

Operations

Specify the operation to perform on the grids. More than one operation may be selected, but each operation will produce a separate output.

Parameters

Grid Size: This specifies how many grid points to use in either direction.  A value of 3 means use one to the left and one to the right of the grid point.  This should always be an odd number.

Interpolate Missing Values: This option specifies how to handle null values in the grid. If not selected any grid cells that are null, will remain null. If selected, grid cells that are null will consider the surrounding grid values, making gaps smaller.

Polygons: Open the Select Polygons dialog and select inclusion or exclusion polygons to restrict the geographical extents of the smoothing or attribute operation. Only picks within the constrained zone will be smoothed, although values outside of the polygon constraints may be used to calculate the pick values.

Apply

Clicking  will open the Select Output Grid Names dialog.

Operation: A list of all of the operations that you selected in the main dialog.

Input Grid: A list of all input grids that you selected  in the main dialog. This field is for information and cannot be edited.

Output Grid: S list of names for the output grids.  By default a suffix ("SM","DIP","GRD","AZM","EDGE","DIFF",or "LAP") will be attached, depending on the operation selected, to the name of each grid to create the output grid.  You can type in a new name for each of the grids, or select the name of an existing grid from the drop down.  If you wish you can even overwrite the original grid. This is useful when you want to iteratively smooth a grid.
