Draw Depth Contours

This command creates contours for the depth between the surface and strata. The surface models for the ground and strata are modeled by grid if coming from the screen entities and drillholes. When using the Geologic or Mining Model file, the list of strata appears to select which strata to use. Specify Depth Contour Range allows for a starting and ending contour elevation. There is the option to contour the depth to either the top or the bottom of the strata. Options are at the bottom for smoothing and reducing the contour vertices. This is basically the thickness from the topography to the top or bottom of the strata. This grid could also be made in Grid File Utilities, but this is a quick way to get the contours without gridding first.
