Filling plane

Cell splitting can be done along any axis in the model. When you use a constraining boundary, such as a perimeter or wireframe, you also need to define a filling plane to control the direction of the cell splitting.

For example, if you set the filling plane to 'XY' then the process will create the specified number of subcells in both the X and Y directions. In the third axis the cell size will be calculated using seam filling. With seam filling the cell dimension is set automatically so that it precisely fits the perimeter or wireframe boundary. Thus, careful selection of the filling plane is important in providing the best possible modeling of geological boundaries.
