The Spline layer has a range of special options that are accessed by RMC on the spline title in the tree view (Spline Layer: RMC Options (new)). These options are summarized in the Spline Layer: RMC Options (new).

Spline Properties

RMC on the grid layer, then select Properties, and the Grid Properties will be displayed, as shown in Figure 2. The options here include:

OptionDescription
NoneShow the grid only
Orthogonal Deviation

Show the orthogonal deviation of the grid by color ramp (see Spline Layer: RMC Options (new))

Cell Aspect RatioShow the cell aspect ratio of the grid by color ramp (see Spline Layer: RMC Options (new))
Cell AreaShow the area of the grid cells by color ramp (see Spline Layer: RMC Options (new))
Cell DXShow the dimension DX of the grid cells by color ramp (see Spline Layer: RMC Options (new))
Cell DYShow the dimension DY of the grid cells by color ramp (see Spline Layer: RMC Options (new))

OptionDescription
NoneOnly the grid is displayed
Cell L IndexShow the L index number of the grid cells, each cell has only an L index. (Spline Layer: RMC Options (new))
Cell I,J IndicesShow the I and J indices number of the grid cells, each cell has a pair of I and J indices. (Spline Layer: RMC Options (new)). This option sometimes is helpful when we create a new grid that we want to merge with the previous grid. In this case, we need to know the number of cells along a segment of the previous grid.
Nodal I,J IndicesShow the I and J indices number of the grid nodes, each grid node has a pair of I and J indices. (Spline Layer: RMC Options (new))
Bottom ElevationTo be implemented later.

OptionDescription
Transpose I - J IndicesReverses both the I and J indices of the selected grid at the same time.
Flip I IndicesReverses only the I indices of the selected grid.
Flip J IndicesReverses only the I indices of the selected grid.
Rotate Indices ClockwiseOrders the indices in a clockwise direction.
Rotate Indices Counter-ClockwiseIt is the opposite of the Rotate Indices Clockwise.
