The following section will go through the steps for loading and viewing data supported by the Ground Model Add-in.

Visualizing seismic data

Once a SEG-Y file has been read and converted to a feature class the associated amplitudes can be viewed in the Geocap viewer.

...

1. Add the feature class with the navigation to the 2D map. You can do this by simply drag-and-drop from the Catalog.

2. Create a Geocap viewer if none already exists.

3. In the Ground Model toolbar click the Select button.

4. Click the seismic navigation line in the map. The selected line should highlight. The data will appear in the 3D and 2D viewer after a few seconds.

5. Right-click the seismic TOC items to view more settings.

View seismic data by drag and drop:

1. Create a new Geocap viewer window or select an existing one.

2. In the ArcGIS Pro Catalog or Contents, navigate to the seismic feature class.

3. Drag and drop the seismic feature class into the Geocap Table of Contents (TOC) Pane.

4. Open the Geocap TOC by clicking Contents in the Geocap toolbar.

5. Check the seismic items you want to display.

6. Right-click the seismic TOC items to view more settings.

View seismic data by Add Data:

1. Click the Add Data button in the Geocap toolbar.

2. Select Add Local Data and browse to select the seismic feature class. Note that you must change the lower-right type selector in the browse dialog to Feature Classes. Click OK

3. Open the Geocap Table of Contents (TOC) by clicking Contents in the Geocap toolbar.

4. Expand the layer-level node and check the feature item corresponding to the seismic line.

5. The seismic line should appear in the Geocap viewer. You may need to right-click the seismic item and click Zoom.

6. Right-click the TOC item for the seismic line to access more settings.

Visualizing boreholes/ CPT etc.

To view the AGS data in the Geocap viewer follow these steps:

1. In the ArcGIS Pro Catalog, locate the LOCA feature class in the AGS. This is the feature class that ends with the word LOCA

2. Drag-and-drop the LOCA feature class onto the Geocap Table-of-contents (TOC)

3. Open the Geocap TOC by clicking the Contents button in the Geocap toolbar.

4. Expand the borehole items and check the survey type of interest (CPT, HDPH, etc.). Make sure the parent items are checked too. The log data should appear in the 3D Viewer. You may right-click any item and click Zoom To to position the element in the viewer

5. Right-click the item representing the log data, like CPT. Click Settings. The settings menu will appear.

6. In the settings menu click the Symbology Size Attribute to select which log class to view.

...

The log curves can also be displayed in a dedicated log curve viewer:

1. Follow the steps above to drag-and-drop the log data into the TOC.

2. In the TOC locate the borehole of interest.

3. Click the Log View button in the Geocap toolbar. When the log of interest is toggled off in the TOC it will appear in both the log viewer and 3D scene.

...

Visualizing LAS Logs

1. From the geodatabase in the catalog, drag and drop the Wells Feature Class into the map. There is no need to drop in the associated feature classes.

2. Create a Geocap Viewer.

3. In the Ground Model toolbar, click Add Data From Map. The wells feature class will now be available in the Ground Model table of contents. When expanded, the wells in the feature class will be available. When checked the well items will expand and display the associated logs. These can now be displayed in the active window in the Geocap Viewer.

Visualizing surfaces/rasters

1. In the ArcGIS Pro Catalog or Contents, navigate to the raster/surface

2. Drag and drop the raster/surface onto the Geocap Table of Contents (TOC).

3. Open the Geocap TOC by clicking Contents in the Geocap toolbar.

4. Check the raster/surface to display

5. Right-click the raster/surface items to view more settings

Other tools and functionality

Measure

The Ground Model add-in supports distance measuring in 2D and 3D.

To perform measuring:

1. Click the window you want to meassure in to activate it (the frame should be blue)

2. Click the Measure icon ("ruler") in the toolbar, and a dialog should pop up

3. Click on the first point to include in the measuring segments

4. Double click to finish the measuring session, or single click to continue and create a path.

The measuring dialog should then report the distances. It will contain the following information:

• Measuring method: Choose whether the distance between the selected data points is calculated using planar or geodetic calculation.

• Horizontal unit: The unit used for horizontal distances

• Horizontal path distance: The total horizontal distance of all line segments. No depth distance is included.

• Horizontal net distance: The horizontal distance between the first and last measuring points. No depth distance is included.

• Vertical net distance: The pure vertical distance between the first and last measuring points. No horizontal distance is included.

Z Scale

It is possible to adjust the Z Scale (vertical exaggeration) of the 3D Scene, 2D Scene and Log viewer.

To change the Z Scale:

1. Click the window you want to change the Z Scale to activate it (the frame should be blue)

2. Use the Z Scale spin box on the toolbar to adjust the multiplication of the Z values

Scenic Effects

Tick this check box to get a nice looking scene with water and sky surrounding your other data.

Buffer clip

The buffer clip functionality allows you to:

1. Project data on to a seismic line in the 2D Scene

2. Show intersection points between a seismic line and polygons and polylines in the 2D Scene

To use the buffer clip:

1. Make sure a seismic line is displayed in the 2D Scene.

2. On the toolbar, specify a Buffer Distance. The distance is in meters on each side of the seismic line.

3. On the toolbar, click Buffer. Notice that two red lines will be shown on each side of the seismic line. This is your buffer.

4. On the toolbar, click Clip.

5. The feature classes which are inside the buffer polygon will now be toggled off in the Geocap Table of Contents Pane, and the 2D Scene will display the data.

Any line piece which is inside the buffer will be projected on to the seismic line. If a line intersects with the seismic line, it will be shown as a point at the intersection point. The Z-value (if present) of lines and points will be honored

Any points inside the buffer will be projected on to the seismic line. The Z-value (if present) of points will be honored
