Description

Create a Section Definition file from strings intersecting the view plane.

How to Use

This command takes a selection of strings and, for each string, computes a straight line drawn from where the first and last point are projected onto the current view.  For each such line, it then computes a section definition for a view plane perpendicular to the current view, passing through the two projected points.

The computed section definitions will have azimuth and dip angles defined by the projected strings.  Their horizontal and vertical extent, and clipping distance are copied from the current view.

A dialog is used to allow you to specify whether the sections are sorted  from left-to-right or from right-to-left (in the current view), and whether the computed sections are to be viewed from left-to-right or from right-to-left.  Enter "LR" or "RL" as appropriate.

The dialog also allows you to specify the name of the first section name (the SVALUE field).  This value is automatically "incremented" (either numerically or alphabetically) for each computed section.

Duplicated sections are silently omitted.
