Exporting a Horizon
Horizons are exported to text files. The file structure depends the selected format, but in general each row of the text file corresponds to a point on the horizon.
By default, Insight will save horizons in the 120hors sub-folder.
Note: For more information on exporting horizon files, see Horizon Export File Formats.
