slice

The slice module allows you to create a subset of your input which is of reduced dimensionality.  This means that volumetric, surface and line  inputs will result in surface, line and point outputs respectively.  This is unlike cut which preserves dimensionality.

The slice module is used to slice through an input field using a slicing plane defined by one of four methods

• 1. A vertical plane defined by an X or Easting coordinate

  2. A vertical plane defined by a Y or Northing coordinate

  3. A Horizontal plane defined by a Z coordinate

  4. An arbitrarily positioned Rotatable plane which requires:

     1. A 3D point through which the slicing plane passes.  This point can be displayed using the Reference Spherewhose size, visibility and transparency can be controlled.   Please note that the same slicing result can be achieved with an infinite number of 3D points, all of which would be on the same slicing plane.

     2. A Dip direction

     3. A Strike direction

NOTES:

• The slice module may be controlled with the driven sequence module.

• Only the orthogonal slice methods (Easting, Northing and Horizontal) may be used with driven sequence.
