Area Basic

The Area Basic mode is used for annotating area based structures (e.g. discontinuity surfaces) or for regions of common geological attributes. An area consists of a closed polygonal line that follows a discontinuity surface or any arbitrary portion of the surface. The Area Basic is slimmed version of the Area measurement. The position and size of the area is provided in the Properties pane. The pane is activated in the context menu with “Show Properties” or by a click on “Windows | Properties” in the menu bar. Refer to Guided Trace topic for further information. Short key “A” is assigned to the Area Basic.
