General Module Function

select_cells provides the ability to select individual geologic layers for output. If connected to Explode_and_Scale multiple select_cells modules will allow selection of specific geologic layers for downstream processing. One example would be to texture map the top layer with an aerial photo after one select_cells and to color the other layers by geologic layer with a parallel select_cells path. This can be accomplished by multiple Explode_and_Scale modules, but that would take much more memory.

Module Input Ports

select_cells has only one input port which is an EVS field. Typically, this should be from Explode_and_Scale.

Module Output Ports

select_cells has two output ports. The first output port (closest to the left) outputs a subset of the input field based on which cell_sets (geologic layers) are chosen. The second port outputs a renderable geometry directly to the Viewer, but only if the input is 2D which is not typical.

Module Control Panel

The control panel of select_cells is shown in the figure below. The check boxes are used to select which geologic layers will be passed through the module.
