Stereonet - Sets Dialog

In the Stereonet dialog, select the Sets tab.

The Stereonet - Sets dialog is used to create and delete sets; define associated color and line thickness parameters; define average plane and daylight envelope settings for the stereonet plot.

The Stereonet dialog is modal. This means that it can be left open while other commands, e.g. in the Design or VR windows, are run. This allows it to be used for the interactive analysis of structural data across various windows and dialogs.
