Overview

GeoSteering Workspace: Overview

This is the orientation doc for the GeoSteering tab itself: the canvas layout, the toolbar, and the status bar. Importing data (Survey, Logs, Tops, Well Plans), GeoMatch, and Version History each have their own dedicated docs; this one is about the workspace chrome around them.

---

Opening the Workspace

Inside a project, click GeoSteering in the left icon sidebar.

The Canvas: Plot Panels

GeoMaster can show up to three kinds of synchronized plots: Horizontal, Vertical, and Vision. How many panels are visible, and their arrangement, is controlled by the Layout button in the toolbar (see below), and your choice is saved per project.

---

The Toolbar

The toolbar is a single responsive row, grouped left to right. On a narrow window, later groups disappear first (the toolbar is built to progressively hide groups as the window shrinks, and show them again as it widens):

Layout

Click Layout to open a small modal with four column-arrangement options (1, 2, 3, or 4 columns). It controls how many plot panels show side by side. Your choice is remembered for the project.

EX (Exaggeration)

A numeric control (with plus/minus buttons) for vertical exaggeration, clamped between 1 and 20. Stretches the vertical scale to make thin beds easier to read.

VS (Vertical Section)

A numeric control for the Vertical Section azimuth, 0 to 359 degrees, wrapping around at the ends. This control is disabled while GeoMatch mode is active.

Fill

A dropdown with several sub-tabs for formation/layer styling: Solid Color, Gradient, Pattern, Conditional Formatting, and Log Settings.

Interpretation tools

Create GeoMatch opens the correlation tool (its own doc covers this in depth). Create Version saves a snapshot into Version History (also its own doc). Synthetic Log, Add Segment, Thickness Change, Reset Segment, and Hide/Unhide work on the segments of the cross-section directly.

Not yet functional: the Change Dip and Fault Displacement buttons are visible in the toolbar, but every control inside them is currently disabled in the code, so clicking them opens a panel that can't actually be used yet.

The Status Bar

A thin bar runs along the bottom of the workspace with two things:

• Position: updates live as you move your mouse over a plot, showing the cursor's coordinates in that plot's own units (depth for a vertical/vision plot, horizontal distance for a horizontal/vision plot).

• A unit picker (metres or feet) for the project's length unit preference, applied globally across the workspace.
