Set Displayed Tops

Setting your displayed tops allows you to control which formations or formation aliases are visible in the other SeisWare applications.

General Information

Displayed Tops Lists

You can create as many tops lists as you need. These lists are used in different places, for example the Basemap, to determine the tops that you want displayed.

Display Tops Lists: This is a collection of top lists that have been previously defined.  You can define multiple lists to color tops differently.  This allows you to easily switch between tops created by different interpreters, for example.

Add List: Create a new list. You will be prompted to give the list a name.

Delete List:  Delete the currently selected list.  This does not delete the associated tops, but only a predefined displayed tops list.

Copy List:  Copy the currently selected list to a new list. This allows you to quickly use an existing displayed tops list as a basis for another displayed tops list.

Set as the default list: The default tops list to use in applications within SeisWare where tops are displayed. You can have multiple displayed tops list, but only one default.

Description: The description of the displayed tops list. Setting a description is an easy way to keep track of what each displayed tops list is being used for.

Formation and Aliases

Select the formations and formation aliases that you want associated with the current displayed tops list.  Formations and aliases can be moved to the Selected list by selecting formations and aliases while pressing the Ctrl key and then using the selection arrows, or by double clicking on a single formation or alias. To help you make your selection, type a search string into the search bar.

Formation Sources

Sources List

Define the sources that you want to use to limit your displayed tops, making sure you select your sources in the right order when using a source hierarchy.

Sources can be moved to the Selected list by selecting sources while pressing the Ctrl key and then using the selection arrows, or by double clicking on a single source. To help you make your source selection, type a search string into the search bar. If you selected your sources in the wrong order, you can use the up and down arrows to reorder your selections.

Color List

Choose to color your tops using Formation/Alias or Source. Click on the color next to the name of the formation/alias or source to select a color. If you decide to color by Formation/Alias, you will see a list of the formations and aliases you have selected. If you decide to color by Source, you will see a list of the sources you have selected. Note: If you select a formation that is already a match in a formation alias, the coloring of the alias takes precedence.
