Ground Model Viewer

The Geocap Viewer is an ArcGIS Pro window which can contain one or more 3D scenes, one or more 2D cross section viewers and one or more log viewers. The tab on the active viewer will be colored in blue. A Geocap Viewer will always be associated with an ArcGIS Pro Map. You can create any number of maps in Pro, each of which can have (only) one Geocap Viewer attached. Closing the map will close the associated Geocap Viewer. The layers in a Geocap Viewer are listed in the Ground Model Contents pane.  This pane is used to manage the display of layers, symbology, and other layer properties. Which objects are toggled off will reflect the data displayed in the active viewer inside the Geocap Viewer. The viewers and their display can be saved together with the ArcGIS Pro project when this is saved, and reappear when the Pro project is reopened. Ta activate this, open options/project/Geocap Ground Model and tick off “Save scene with project”.

To open a Ground Model Viewer:

  1. Activate (select) the desired map to which you want to attach the Ground Model Viewer.

  2. Access the Ground Model toolbar.

  3. If the Ground Model Viewer does not appear automatically, click the "New Viewer" button. The viewer tab will be named after the associated map.

The Ground Model Contents pane

The Ground Model Contents Pane mirrors the contents of the associated map. This pane allows you to toggle elements on or off, modify display settings such as symbology and layer properties for the data.

3D Scene

The 3D scene lets you visualize seismic data, boreholes, in addition to standard ArcGIS data types such as feature classes and rasters.

To navigate the 3D Scene:

·         Rotate – Press left mouse button and move the mouse

·         Zoom – Scroll up on the mouse wheel to zoom inn and scroll down to zoom out

·         Pan – Press right mouse button and move the mouse

·         Set rotation/focus point – Point mouse and double left click

Cross Section Viewer

The Cross Section Viewer allows the user to view 3D and 2D seismic in a 2D cross section view. The viewer will show intersection with surfaces as lines and intersecting lines and polygons are shown as points. Additionally, nearby elements can be projected onto the cross section using the buffer option on the toolbar. Any line piece which is inside the buffer will be projected on to the seismic line. The Z-value (if present) of lines and points will be honored

To navigate the 2D Viewer:

·         Pan – Press and hold the left mouse button while moving the mouse.

·         Zoom – Scroll up on the mouse wheel to zoom inn and scroll down to zoom out

To modify the direction of the seismic line, click the "Flip Axis" button located on the Ground Model toolbar.

Log viewer

The Log Viewer provides a visual representation of well logs from one or multiple boreholes, displayed side by side. It supports the visualization of both continuous curves and discrete interpretations. The display of boreholes and logs can be controlled through the Ground Model Contents Pane. If a raster, such as an interpreted surface, is checked off in the Ground Model Contents Pane and intersects with the borehole, it will be visualized as a horizontal line at the corresponding depth in the Log Viewer.

The Log Viewer is linked to the cross section viewers and 3D scenes, tracking the mouse cursor's position. As you move the cursor up and down within the Log Viewer, an annotation marker will simultaneously move along the borehole path in the other viewers, providing synchronized navigation and reference across the different views.

Display settings

It is possible to change the way a dataset is displayed in the Ground Model Viewer.
The settings menu can be accessed by right clicking the dataset in the Ground Model Contents Pane
