This command allows you to report and optionally label elevations for selected surface files. You can simultaneously analyze up to nine different surface files. Surface files can be either triangulation (.flt or .tin) files, grid (.grd) files, or any combination thereof. The following dialog opens when the command is initiated:
Symbol Name displays the symbol name to be plotted.
Click Select Symbol to select the symbol from the symbol library.
Text Size sets the actual size (not scale factor) of the
text label placed in the drawing.
Turn the Draw Label Symbol at Surface Elevation toggle ON if you want the symbol to be located at the actual elevation of the surface.
Name denotes the name that will be plotted when you label
the
elevation. The default value is the same as the name of the surface
file,
but you can change it.
Decimals individually sets the decimal elevation precision for each selected surface.
For File, either type in the surface name to use or press the Select button to choose the surface file from a browse window.
Load Pre-Calc allows you to select grid files from a list of
grids stored in a Pre-Calculated file (.PRE). These files can be
created in the Carlson Mining module.
Clear: Clears all
values.
Load: Loads a Surface
Inspector File (.SIF).
Save: Saves all
settings to a Surface Inspector File (.SIF).
After you fill out the dialog box, click OK. Surface Inspector will load the surfaces and begin showing you real-time elevations for each surface as you move the cursor on the screen. If you pick a point or enter coordinates, the elevation will be labeled along with the surface name and selected symbol as shown below.
