Click a bed to cut it in two. Drag the line between two beds to move it. Click in a log's column above its top or below its base to add a bed reaching to the click.

Correlate​

Correlate Logs​

Tooltip: Correlate logs

Contact​

The button beside the dropdown makes a new contact in Collections > Contacts; the dropdown chooses the Active correlation contact, the contact to place on the logs.

Interval​

The button beside the dropdown makes a new interval in Collections > Intervals; its younger and older contacts are set on its property page. The dropdown chooses the active interval, the one to give the selected beds. The same interval on adjacent logs is correlated on the panel.

Assign Interval​

Give the selected beds of a log the active interval: click a bed, Shift+click another to select the run. An interval is one unbroken run of beds on a log. See Intervals.

Sample Point​

Tooltip: Add a sample point

Bed Table​

Tooltip: Edit the beds in a table

Every bed of the log you clicked last in a grid, to type its facies, grain sizes, base contact, bioturbation, colour and lists. On a log typed in or imported, add and delete beds and type their thicknesses. See The Bed Table.

Log Palette​

Tooltip: Show or hide the Log Palette

Facies, lithologies, structures, fossils, contacts and grain sizes as tiles, the recently used first. Click one to give it to the selected beds, or drag it onto a bed. See The Log Palette.
