How to copy fault boundaries from one horizon to another.

Description:
How can we copy the fault boundaries from horizon A to horizon B?  

Solution:
Method One
----------

1. Create a new horizon that will eventually contain the horizon picks 
   and fault boundaries: Seis%DV > Define > Horizon

2. Create a fault boundary set on that horizon (preferred by default):

   a. Basemap > Edit > Fault Boundaries... > Manage Set
   b. Set the Create New Set toggle.
   c. Highlight the new horizon name.
   d. Enter a name for the fault boundary set.
   e. Click OK.

3. Copy the horizon (A) from which you want to copy boundaries to the newly 
   created horizon: Seis3DV > Areal > Horizon copy...  
   Be sure to toggle on Copy all data, Copy fault boundaries, and Copy 
   contacts (if desired).

4. Delete the time picks from the horizon output from step 3:
   IESX DataManager > Interpretation > Delete

   a. Highlight the horizon name and survey.
   b. Toggle on Horizon data.
   c. Click Delete and then Close

   NOTE: Step four is necessary only if horizon A contains pick 
         locations not found on horizon B.

5. Copy the the second horizon (B) to the horizon output from step 4:
   Seis%DV > Areal > Horizon copy...
   Be sure to toggle on Copy all data, Copy fault boundaries, and Copy 
   contacts (if desired).


Method Two
----------

1. Export the fault boundaries from the source horizon (A):
   IESX DataManager > Interpretation > Export

   Select the the format fb_gf.ifdf or fbm_gf.ifdf, the horizon name, 
   the fault name(s), and enter a path for the output file.

2. Set the target fault boundary set on horizon (B) to preferred:

   a. Basemap > Edit > Fault Boundaries... > Manage Set
   b. Set the Set Preferred toggle.
   c. Highlight the horizon name (B).
   d. Click OK.

3. Import the fault boundaries to the target horizon (B):
   IESX DataManager > Interpretation > Import

   a. Select the the format fb_gf.ifdf or fbm_gf.ifdf
   b. Click the Override input toggle and select (highlight) the 
      target survey, horizon, and fault.
   c. Enter the path to the ASCII file output in step 1.
   d. Click Load.
