Support and Troubleshooting
Additional logging to assist with troubleshooting

CMY blending
New CMY blending functionality. Use in conjunction with incoherence, dip angle and curvature for great results!
An CMY group allows you to designate the colours cyan, magenta and yellow to 3 different volumes for easy comparison in map, section and 3D views.
This process supports 2D, 3D and gather volumes.
For more information, seeCreating a New CMY Group.
NaN Removal
The new NaN process easily fills in or replace invalid values with user defined values using 4 available methods of calculations.
For more information, seeNaN Removal process.
Volumetric Curvature Process
- Insight can calculate the structural curvature for a horizon (Using Horizon Properties), or volumetric curvature based upon a dip field (using a Curvature process).
Similarity Processes
We've added three very powerful new similarity-based processes for structural interpretation.
- Correlation (Similarity): Fast and detailed similarity analysis
- Semblance (Similarity): Similarity analysis with better noise suppression
- Directional Correlation (Similarity): Very precise directional similarity analysis, enhance or supress features based on azimuth

Multiview
With Insight 4.0, you can now enable multiple and independent 2D, arbline, IL/CL, map, and gather views! Each view can be linked by volumes, vertical/horizontal scale and position.
For more information, see Opening Multiple Views.
RGB blending
New RGB blending functionality. Use in conjunction with Spectral Decomposition volumes for great results!
An RGB group allows you to designate the colours red, green and blue to 3 different volumes for easy comparison in map, section and 3D views.
This process supports 2D, 3D and gather volumes.
For more information, see Creating a New RGB Group.
Well improvements
Bulk well import/export
Where previously you can only import and export individual well data (i.e. paths, checkshots, markers, curves), now you can import and export all of them at the same time in OWX format.
For more information, see Importing All Well Data and Exporting All Well Data.
Arblines
- Quickly create a new arbline from Map View
- Repick/delete Arblines directly from Map View
- Open Arbline View directly from Map View
- Arblines can now be projected by set distance
- Snap/unsnap arblines to 2D surveys
For more information, see the Arbline chapter.
New horizon operations
Create horizon from well markers
This new horizon operation creates a regular IL/CL or X/Y horizon from a set of well markers.
For more information, see Create Horizon from Well Markers.
Create gather horizons from IL/CL horizons
This new horizon operation creates a gather horizon from regular IL/CL horizons.
For more information, see Create Gather Horizon.
Process improvements
Create Flattener process directly from Views
Right click on a horizon in any view and select Flatten on "Horizon". This will instantly create a Flattener process with that horizon as the Base Horizon, and the domain in the Map View will automatically switch to the flattened view.
For more information, see Flattener.
Dip Azimuth and Angle attribute
This process converts a DUG Insight 3D dip field volume into two output volumes. The first is the azimuth of maximum dip, measured in degrees clockwise from map north. The second is the maximum dip angle.
For more information, see Dip Azimuth and Angle.
Mistie
Manual misties can be applied, edited or removed in bulk.
From the Configure Volume window, click Configure Mistie Corrections to view all misties in a table. This table can also be exported to csv.
For more information, see Manual Mistie Correction.
Repair project database
A new Repair operation in Data Manager to fix any issues with the project database and restore access to the project.
For more information, see Repair a Project Database.
The new NaN process easily fills in or replace invalid values with user defined values using 4 available methods of calculations.
For more information, see NaN Removal process.
New CMY blending functionality. Use in conjunction with incoherence, dip angle and curvature for great results!
An CMY group allows you to designate the colours cyan, magenta and yellow to 3 different volumes for easy comparison in map, section and 3D views.
This process supports 2D, 3D and gather volumes.
