Edit GAD Objects
Objects of previously generated structure models in GAD format can be edited after Edit GAD Objects is selected from the upper pull-down menu in the GadGeo section
Seven commands are selectable in the second pull-down menu in the GadGeo section. The same commands are also available from the Objects’ context menu in the Project Status section located above:
Click the Edit... button to set the options for this change. After setting the options, return to the GadGeo section and Run to make the changes effective.
GadGeo modifies GAD objects. That means it can only be used if the structure’s objects are analytic and their parameters are known to GeoDict. This is indicated by a green dot in front of GAD Objects in the Status section. If a red dot is shown, no information about the objects is available, and the structure is only defined through its voxel grid. Such structures are voxelized representations, occurring e.g. when importing tomographic images or after using certain commands in some GeoDict generating modules, e.g. GrainGeo → Grow Sediment or GrainGeo → Add Binder, or modifying modules, e.g. ProcessGeo.
In this case, when you try to change a structure (Scale, Shift, Rotate, and Delete) a warning message appears when clicking the corresponding button and the operation is not performed.

Non-analytic data structures can be edited using the
icon in the Toolbar.
