Converting CRS When Importing an XY Horizon

When you are importing a horizon that is on the XY grid, Insight is able to convert the horizon's CRS to the project CRS. This function is used if the imported horizon uses a different CRS from the CRS you have defined for the project.

Import an XYT horizon

Import an XYT horizon
  1. In the Control Panel, select the Import menu.
  2. Click Horizons.
  3. Select the XYT horizon you want to import and click Open. The Coordinate Reference System conversion window will be displayed.

Select the type of coordinates

Select the type of coordinates

At Type of coordinates, select Eastings / Northings if the horizon is using the eastings/northings coordinates or Latitude / Longitude if it is using the latitude/longitude coordinates.

Convert horizon CRS to project CRS

Convert horizon CRS to project CRS
  1. Click Convert from to select the eastings/northings or latitude/longitude CRS of the horizon from the standard CRS table and click OK. This is the original horizon CRS which will be converted to the project CRS. The CRS of the project is defined when you create a project. (see Creating a Project).
  2. Click OK to process the conversion.

Note: If you are importing multiple horizons at the same time, the CRS will be applied to all the horizons.
