Assigning/Unassigning Fault Sticks

You can unassign fault stick(s) from one fault and assign them to another fault.

Similarly, if you have created fault sticks as "Unassigned Sticks (TWT/TVD)", you can assign multiple sticks to a fault at the same time.

Unassign fault stick(s)

  1. Right-click an assigned fault stick and select Unassign fault stick. Alternatively, press U to unassign a fault stick from its current fault.
  2. To select more than one fault stick, right-click on a fault stick, and select Pick to enable the picking mode.
    1.  Press Ctrl and click on multiple fault sticks. 
    2.  Right-click and select Unassign X fault stick. Alternatively, press Esc to disable picking mode and press U to unassign.
  3. The unassigned fault sticks will be under the Unassigned Sticks (TWT/TVD) item in the Fault tab.

In the Fault tab, when the Unassigned Sticks (TWT/TVD) items are clicked, you will see the Number of Sticks that are unassigned in the Details panel. Computed surfaces are not created for unassigned fault sticks. You can right-click the unassigned fault stick item in the Control Panel and click Export "Unassigned Fault Sticks" to save these fault sticks into a .dat extension file and then load the file in the future to view the fault lines in the data. 

Note: For unassigned fault sticks, you cannot change the ownership or edit the name. If you delete an "unassigned sticks (TWT/TVD)" item from the project database, it will get recreated when you open the session.

Assign fault stick(s)

  1. Right-click an unassigned fault stick, select Assign fault stick to and select New Fault. 
  2. To assign more than one fault stick, right-click on an unassigned fault stick and select Pick "Unassigned Sticks (TWT/TVD)" to enable the picking mode.
    1. Press Ctrl and click on multiple fault sticks. 
    2. Right-click and select Assign 'X' fault sticks to > New Fault. Alternatively, after selecting the unassigned sticks, enable picking mode for the fault that you want to assign to, and press A.

Re-assigning fault stick(s)

Similarly, the following steps show how to directly move or re-assign fault stick(s) from one fault to another:

  1. Right-click a fault stick from Fault 2 that you want to re-assign, and select Assign fault stick to > Fault 1.
  2. To assign more than one fault stick, right-click on a fault stick from Fault 2 and select Pick Fault 2 to enable the picking mode.
    1. Press Ctrl and click on multiple fault sticks. 
    2. Right-click and select Assign 'X' fault sticks to and select Fault 1.
