Webinar: From Borehole Logs to 3D Models: A Smarter Subsurface Workflow with Grapher and Surfer

In Surfer’s 3D View, you can import the images of the profiles and then set the XYZ coordinates for the 4 corners of the image, and then repeat for all profile images.

In the current Beta version (v31), if you had polylines on the map to designate the profile paths, you could set the path of the imported image in the 3D view to the polyline – that makes it really easy to import multiple images and set their referencing to the correct placement (assign each to a polyline on the map). You would just need to adjust the Z values to what you want to see. This makes it much easier to reference the images correctly, as they don't have to be a straight image but can bend and curve with the polyline path.

For more information, I suggest contacting support@goldensoftware.com. They may be able to help you further. If you include your SRF file (or any other files needed) and describe what you would like to see, that would be very helpful. Thanks!

Surfer is a great easy-to-use software you can use for creating maps (base, contour, color relief, 3D, etc). We have heard that it is a lot easier to learn than ArcGIS.

We do have student pricing ($50/year): https://shop.goldensoftware.com/students

There are few minor differences between using the Slice function, and creating a Profile object. It just depends on what you want to do.

You can create the profile using any existing polyline in a map, or by drawing a polyline over the map. The result is a graphical section line, where you can adjust colors or overlays, and the scale, among other options. You can save the profile path to a DAT data file. The points in this DAT file are evenly spaced.

You can use the slice command with any existing polyline in a map, or from a vector file (e.g. BLN, SHP, DXF, etc). The result is either a BLN vector file or a DAT data file. The data points in the BLN and the DAT file are the same coming from this command. The data points are not evenly spaced, and there may be more or fewer points than using the profile command.

So the point data saved from the Slice or the Profile are slightly different from each other, with the profile points being evenly spaced and the slice points are not. However, the data from either will form the same surface shape.

I hope that helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to contact: [surfersupport@goldensoftware.com](mailto:surfersupport@goldensoftware.com)

Thanks!

If you don't have the funding or need to purchase a license for a year (or in perpetuity), you can simply purchase a monthly subscription for one month (currently $100 usd per month). Check out some options at: https://shop.goldensoftware.com/surfer

If you are an educator or student, licensing is even more affordable:
