-Top Features in Surfer Beta's Latest Release-
Download Direct from Google Maps
Google Maps has now been integrated into our Base from Server command, along with other XYZ Tiles servers like OpenStreetMaps! No longer do you need to hunt for the right server to download imagery for your field area. Simply assign a coordinate system to your map, click to download a base map from the server, and select one of the Google servers. High quality, global imagery is at your fingertips!
3D View: Drillhole Keywords
Apply color to the intervals in your 3D drillholes based on text keywords, like lithology name! This makes it easy to visualize stratigraphy, mineralization content, alteration zones, and formations in your 3D drillholes.
Simply include the text keyword for the intervals in your interval table and load it with any other drillhole data. Apply color to the intervals, based on the text keywords. You can also create a legend of the keywords, rearrange the order they are displayed in the legend, and even rename the keywords if you want the legend to show something other than the text keyword (e.g. SST => Sandstone).
Display colors based on text keywords (e.g. lithology) in 3D drillholes and create a legend with the corresponding colors and names.
3D View: Contour Slices
Add contour slices through a 3D grid in the 3D view. This can allow you to show contours along specific planes (e.g. on the edge of a clip plane or volume render) or at any specified orientation through your 3D grid. Use the same flexible and customizable contour properties that you can in the 2D view, such as contour labels, logarithmic contour intervals, and saving/loading LVL files to create just the contours you want to see.
Create models with multiple visualizations - model contaminant plume concentrations from one 3D grid as a volume render or isosurface, and hydraulic conductivity from a different 3D grid as contour slices! The options are endless…
Create contour slices through your 3D grid! Visualize with isosurfaces for a stunning effect!
Linked Text
Link text objects to show specific text like the date, the filename or filepath, or the contents of a specific cell in a worksheet.
This makes it easy to link text to cell contents in an Excel file, or insert the date the project is edited, or insert the filepath and filename so the information isn’t lost. You can easily refresh the text if anything changes and it will automatically update.
Insert text into title blocks and figures that automatically include the date, cell contents from a data file, filename or filepath. Refresh the text easily with a single click!
