DISPLAY CORRELATED EXTENTS
With cross-sections visible in the map window it is possible to see the spatial distribution of
the correlation of a particular rock unit. This is achieved simply by setting the active rock
code – when this happens its map distribution in cross-section will appear as thick coloured
lines along the lines-of-section. The active rock code can be set from the Codes tab, from the
Recent Codes panel of the DRAW ribbon, or by picking up a code from a piece of linework
by holding CTRL and hovering the mouse over the line;
Map showing distribution of an orange-coloured rock unit “alne” in cross-sections
towards the north of the project.
A nice feature of this function is that you can quickly see the relative distribution of layers
across a project by displaying a representative cross-section in a cross-section window,
holding CTRL, and dragging the mouse across the section vertically to pick up each code in
the geological sequence one after the other. The map will respond by displaying the
distribution of each code as you scroll across the section with the mouse.
