[OpendTect_Users] import multibeam bathymetry?

[Kristofer Tingdahl]

Dear Jared,

welcome to the OpendTect community!

First, I don't really know your data is organized, but I assume that your
grid is, or can be exported into an "x y, depth" text file, with one
measurement on each line.

If so, you can import it as an horizon. You should however note that the
data will be downsampled to the seismic resolution, which may not be what
you want. The way this happens is that OpendTect will read every line of
the file, and snap it to the nearest seismic position (as defined in your
survey setup). If multiple rows map into the same seismic position, the
latest in the file will have preference.

Does this answer your question?


Best regards,

Kristofer Tingdahl
