Bathymetric data

Post by tjharvey »

Hi all,

We received some bathymetric data (.xyz) to analyze, and it seems the Z values are positive instead of negative. The X/Y and orientation of the dataset seems correct, it's just the elevations are inverted. I'm not used to dealing with subsurface point cloud data, so this is new to me. How can I load this to show correct Z values?

Thanks in advance!

You can load the data and then use the 'Edit > Multiply/scale' tool to invert the Z coordinates.
