Fence_Cut Width Limitations

One of the limitations of the fence cut module is that the cross-sections it creates must have a thickness approximately equal to one cell width. If we change the Fence Half Width to a value of 5 (and click on Accept) and change the viewer settings to an elevation of 50° it becomes obvious that our fence cross-section is noticeably broken. You must remember that the plume_shell module performs the actual cutting. When the fence half width is set too low, the cross-sections we created will break-up. This is shown in the figure below.

However, a Fence Half Width of 8 works well for this grid resolution, as shown below

 

If a thinner fence is desired you have two options:

  1. Increase the grid resolution in Krig_3D_Geology (this is where the resolution in the x-y plane is defined for our application) or

  2. Use the module thin_fence which is discussed after the next topic
