Initial Setup

Geocap comes with a range of settings which can modified to make it easier to work with. One of these settings is the working directory which is the folder Geocap will open every time you browse for something. We will now set this directory and we will also turn on auto save.

Geocap Project

The Atlantis project is built using the UNCLOS project template. This template consists of four top level folders; Maritime lines, Seabed, Sediment data and Outer limit. The maritime lines folder will hold all the data with no reference to depth or located at the sea surface. The Seabed folder will hold all the data located at the seabed, like bathymetric profiles, foot of slope points and so on. The Sediment data folder will hold all the subsurface data like seismic, interpretations, velocities, sediment profiles etc. The Outer limit folder will hold all datasets which is used to construct the outer limit. We are now going to open the Atlantis project and look closer at this project structure.

Info

A Geocap project is stored in a folder on your computer. The project consist of a ".db" file, which contains information about the project tree, and several files which contain the data sets. You should let Geocap manage the files in the project folder and should not store other files in this folder.

If you want to make a backup of your projects, or if you want to exchange Geocap projects with other Geocap users you may zip the project folder with all the underlaying datasets into one file. This is convenient for sending e.g. to support@geocap.no.

Displaying Data

By right clicking a dataset a range of different visualization commands is made available. For each type of dataset Geocap will have a default command. This is the command which will be used when ticking the checkbox next to a dataset. We are now going to display the different datasets in the project using the default command.

...

Tip

Note that by checking and unchecking the first level folder 1. Maritime Lines, or 2. Seabed all datasets displayed under this folder are shown and hidden.
