Chapter 12 3D Display

3D views are used to display the data in the project in 3 dimensions. Each view represents a saved presentation of the data in 3D. The following data can be shown in the 3D views:

•Boring/Wells

•Cross-sections

•Contour Maps

•Solid strata defined between contour maps

•Cutouts through the solid strata

•Buildings/structures

•GIS data

•Samples

The 3D display uses OpenGL to generate and manipulate the objects in 3D. In order to use the 3D display features of GaeaSynergy, OpenGL version 1.2 or higher must be installed on the computer.
