How to load an XYZ file with positive and negative Z values.

Description:
How to load XYZ data into MapView with positive and negative Z values. Since the values are in time, all of the Z values are automatically negative. The values are loading properly but not the signs for Z values.


Solution:
The header information in the file must be changed. The z-units are currently set to time (1), but need to be changed to undefined (0) or delta time (-1). This subject is covered in more detail in the online help under Surface Modeling > Appendix > ASCII Formats > XYZ. The header information should appear something like: A 561 1 13(3E15.7), where A is used to denote one header card (additional cards would have the A followed by the card number), the 561 is the number of XYZ data points, the 1 is the number to be changed (time), the 13 indicates feet (1) and 3D data (3) and the 3E15.7 is the fortran format of the actual data card.
