A method for automatically picking or snapping two user seed nodes to valid nodes of a valid fault curve is provided. The invention includes a process for extending a two node valid fault curve in a vertical section upwards and downwards throughout such section. A method of translating a fault curve found in one section to another parallel and vertical section and to all other desired vertical sections of the volume is also disclosed.Other References
