Import Fault Line

This command creates fault polylines by reading data from a text file. Each row in the file is for a fault vertex. The data must include the X, Y and Z position plus the fault shift amount and dip angle. There is also an optional Description field which can be used when there are multiple faults in the same file. Use the End Fault Description as the description in the text file on the last point in the fault to identify where the fault ends and the next fault will start.

After selecting the text file to import, there is a dialog to define the format of the text file followed by a dialog for the End Fault Description and layer for the fault polylines to create.
