Inputs
Every input is optional. A method's _model is the 3D volume and its _data is the measured dataset for the same method.
| Input | Formats | Loaded as |
|---|---|---|
MT_model | ModEM/WS .rho | Resistivity volume |
MT_data | ModEM .dat | Georeferences the mesh; Show Data draws the site locations |
gravity_model | .xyz, .vox | Density volume, displayed in g/cc |
gravity_data | .xyz | Show Data draws the survey points at their own elevation |
magnetic_model | .xyz, .vox | Susceptibility volume |
magnetic_data | .xyz | Show Data draws the survey points |
seismic_data | SEG-Y | Seismic curtain and model drape |
shapefiles | .shp | Linework, each entry with its own color, width and alpha |
What you get
What you get depends on what you configure:
| Configured | Result |
|---|---|
| Nothing | An empty 3D scene, sized to the shapefiles or seismic line if there are any |
MT_model only | The model in its own local coordinates; georeferenced overlays are left out |
MT_model + MT_data | Georeferenced into coordinate.target_crs |
| A gravity/magnetic model with an MT model | Resampled onto the MT cells, so the properties compare cell for cell |
| A gravity/magnetic model without one | Gridded on axes taken from its own coordinates |
Reading point files
.xyz models and surveys are longitude latitude elevation value records, or easting/northing in any projected CRS. They are reprojected into the project CRS and, for models, resampled onto the scene's cells.
Source CRS detection
A file that states no CRS has one worked out for it. Degrees and projected metres never overlap in practice: longitude/latitude is bounded by ±180/±90, while a metric CRS puts survey data tens to hundreds of kilometres from its false origin. A file is therefore read as WGS84 lon/lat or as already being in the project CRS accordingly. When both columns fall inside ±90 and the lon/lat order is ambiguous, the project CRS's declared area of use decides which column is longitude, so latitude-first files land in the right place too. .prj files and ModEM origins are still read from the file itself.
