Q. I need technical advice on creating grids, with breaklines applied. Ultimately I am creating a contour map of a creek and its banks, but I am not able to make the gridding process recognize the breakline BLN file I have created. Can you help us please?

A. To use a BLN file as a breakline for gridding, there are a few things you can check:
  1. Open the BLN file in the Surfer worksheet and verify that cell A1 contains the number of vertices in the line. 
  2. Check to see that line 2 and subsequent lines contains XYZ coordinates in columns A, B, and C. 
  3. Close the worksheet and choose Grid | Data.  Specify the GRD file, and click Open
  4. Specify the Gridding Method in the Grid Data dialog box. 
  5. Click the Advanced Options button, and click on the Breaklines and Faults tab. 
  6. Click on the yellow Open Folder icon to the right of the File Containing Breaklines prompt, specify the BLN file, and click Open, then OK
  7. Click OK in the Grid Data dialog to begin gridding.
If there is a problem applying the breakline to the gridding process, please email the data, the BLN file, and the gridding parameters chosen to surfersupport@goldensoftware.com.
