Objective:

I have a geosurface that I would like to clip (window) to a set elevation.

Resolution:

  1. In the 3D Viewer go to Geosurface > Utilities > Window a Surface
  2. Select the Input geosurface you want to clip
  3. Give the Output geosurface and surface names.
  4.  Check the Vertical Windowing checkbox.
  5. Set the Minimum and/or Maximum Z range as desired.
  6. Press OK.

Notes:

This workflow only applies to geosurfaces that are closed. There are two ways to know if a geosurface is opened or closed.

  1. Look at the symbol for the geosurface in the 3D Manager. A half oval notates an open geosurface. A full oval notates a closed geosurface.
  2. You can also view the geosurface properties by selecting the geosurface and pressing the Properties button. The Surface Properties Type will be "Open" and the volume will be n/a.
