2.2.4 Slice Position Tool
The slice position toolbar is used to position a display element (inline, crossline or timeslice) and to step through a 3D volume with a user-defined step. The slice position and number of steps are manually entered in the fields. The forward and backward arrows of this toolbar are used to move the selected slice in increasing or decreasing directions. The workflow is very simple. Add an inline in a scene. By default, the slice is positioned in the middle of the survey box. Use the arrows to move the inline position according to the given step.
A progress bar appears by default every time when a user moves the display element. This can be avoided by changing the Personal Settings (Utilities, Settings, Look and Feel). Provided the computer memory is sufficient it is highly recommended to load the seismic data into memory (Survey, Preload). Progress messages are switched off for preloaded volumes!
Keyboard shortcuts can be used to ease the sliding:
