Fence Diagrams with the Thin_Fence Module

NOTE: The thin_fence module is only available for users of EVS-PRO or MVS.

Thin_fence provides an alternative method of creating true 3D fence diagrams. Unlike fence_cut, it actually creates the fence (does the subsetting).

We will begin by modifying the application from the previous topic, deleting fence_cut and plume_shell and adding thin_fence to match that shown below.

Open the Gridding Options window in Krig_3D and turn off Adaptive Gridding as shown below. Adaptive Gridding can cause problems with thin_fence.

Hit Accept All Current Values on Krig_3D so it re-runs without Adaptive Gridding. At this point, your viewer should be similar to the figure below.

If we zoom in for a close up view, you can see that the fence-diagram produced with the thin_fence module has NO thickness whatsoever. It is a three-dimensional surface passing through our kriged volume upon which we map one or more of the data components in the original volumetric grid.

If we uncheck the first three Node Data Components in the thin fence module so that Geo_Layer is the first checked component, we can see our fence diagram colored by geologic layer. The correct settings are shown in the figure below.

Setting your Azimuth & Elevation to an azimuth of 195, a scale of 0.7, and an elevation of 20 should result in your Viewer looking very similar to the picture below.
