• Create Grid...

Brings up the Create Finite Difference Grid dialog.

• Merge Cells

This command will combine selected cells.

• Redistribute Layers...
• Named Layer Ranges...

Brings up the dialog better organize materials in multiple layers.

• Find Cell...

User may find a cell based on "Cell ID" or "IJK" coordinates.

• Find Node...

User may find a node based on "Cell ID" or "IJK" coordinates.

• Iso-surface Options...

Brings up the Iso-surface Options dialog.

• Iso-surface Volumes...

Brings up the Iso-surface Volumes dialog.

• Convert To >

• Grid → 3D Scatter Points

Creates a scatter point set with a point on the center of each cell with the value of the cell.

• Grid → 3D Mesh

Creates a mesh typically from the cell centered values in the grid for the different layers. The first dialog allows the user to choose between the cell centers or the cell corners to create the mesh. A disclaimer is given that data values are given at the cell center and that data sets will not be converted.

• Grid → 2D Grid

Creates a flat grid from the 3D grid dimensions at an elevation given by the user.

• MODFLOW Layers → 2D Scatter Points...

Converts all MODFLOW Layers that have values into scatter point sets.

• Layer Contours → Arcs

Converts layer contours into arcs that can be manipulated as drawing objects.

• 3D data → 2D data

Converts the 3D data to 2D data according to a user defined option (average, highest active value, maximum, minimum, sum, and value from k-layer) to get a single value from the multiple layers.

• New Material Set

Creates a new material set in the project explorer.

• Zoom To Extents
