Orientations
Orientations record a structural orientation in the model. Each orientation has an X,Y,Z position. The orientation is recorded as Dip and Dip Direction stored as a dip $(0-90\degree)$ and an azimuth $(0-360\degree)$.
A single orientation can be added using the Dip Azimuth tool in the Interpretation window. This allows addition of an orientation to the model using several different approaches.
The location where the Orientation measurement was collected and recorded is maked by a glyphs. Glyphs are "the visual representation of a piece of data where the attributes of a graphical entity are dictated by one or more attributes of a data record."[^1]
