  1. Open the tool Extract Seismic Line
  2. In the field Seismic Cubes Feature Class select the feature class containing the 3D survey that you wish to operate on.
  3. The entry Seismic Survey will list the available surveys. Choose the one from which you want to extract data.
  4. The entries Top Z Values and Bottom Z Values lets you restrict the cubes z range involved in the extraction . This will speed up the processing and lead to smaller result datasets.
  5. For the entry Intersecting Geometry Feature Class choose the feature class containing the intersecting geometry. 
  6. In the field Intersecting Feature choose the feature containing the intersecting geometry.
  7. In the field Output Raster enter the name and location of the resulting raster containing the data extracted from the seismics. This path must include the name of the raster. The raster can be stored either in a geodatabase or as a file. If you choose a file you should include a valid extension like 'tif' or 'png. This path will be stored as an attribute of the outline feature created during the extraction . You can enter a raster path relative to the geodatabase containing the raster outline feature, see the description for the Raster outline location further down.  Following are some examples of raster paths:
    1. c:/mygeodatabase.gdb/myraster
    2. myrasters/my_relative_raster.png
  8. In the field Pixel  Format you have the following choices:
    1. Choose 32 bit float to create a single-band raster containing the original seismic amplitudes. These values do not in themselves represent a color, but will be mapped to a color ramp during display.This option thas the advantage of retaining the original data values.
    2. RGB raster. Here the seismic amplitudes will be mapped to colors and converted to RGB values.
  9. Raster outline location. Here you will choose the location of the feature class containing the raster outline.
  10. In the field Raster Outline Name choose the name of the raster outline feature class.
  11. Choose the level of resampling in the field Resampling Factor. During the intersection and extraction process the seismic amplitudes will be interpolated along the intersecting geometry. Choose 5 for maximum interpolation. This will give the highest quality result but will also increase the processing time and raster size.
  12. In the Color Ramp field select the name of the color ramp that you wish to use for color mapping. You may optionally reverse the colors.
  13. In the fields Stretch along color ramp choose the minimum and maximum data range for which the color ramp will apply. This will ensure that the colors span a data range of interest without including noise etc.
  14. Click OK to begin execution.
