In this section the different settings that controls the default behavior of ResInsight is described. These settings can be controlled using the Preference dialog available from the Edit -> Preferences menu.


The preferences are not stored in the project files, but rather in a platform specific way for each user.

General - tab

Default settings

This group of options controls visual settings that will be used when creating new views.

• Viewer Background
• Gridlines -- Controls whether to show the grid lines by default.
• Mesh Color
• Mesh Color Along Faults
• Well Label Color
• Font Size -- This font size is used for all labels shown in the 3D Views.
• Default Z Scale Factor -- Default depth scale for grid models.
• Enable Legend Background -- Apply a semi-transparent background to the legends in the 3D Views.

3D Views

• Navigation mode -- Defines how to use the mouse to interact with with the 3D model.
• Use shaders -- This option controls the use of OpenGL shaders. Should be left On. Available only for testing purposes.
• Show 3D Information -- Displays graphical resource usage as text in the 3D view.

Other

• SSIHUB Address -- Optional URL to Statoil internal web service used to import well paths.
• Show LAS Curve Without TVD Warning - Turn off the warning displayed when showing LAS curves in TVD mode.

Eclipse - tab


Behavior When Loading Data

• Compute DEPTH Related Properties -- If not present, compute DEPTH, DX, DY, DZ, TOP, BOTTOM when loading new cases.
• Load and Show SOIL -- Control if SOIL is loaded and applied to grid.
• Import Faults/NNCs/Advanced MSW Data -- Disable import of data for a case to reduce case import time.
• Fault Include File Absolute Path Prefix -- Prefix used on Windows if fault files use absolute UNIX paths.
• Use Result Index File -- If enabled ResInsight will try to save a result index file when opening a new case. The file is stored in the same directory as the *.EGRID file with filename <casename>.RESINSIGHT_IDX If it exists, ResInsight will use this when loading the case, resulting in a significant speedup.
• Skip Import of Simulation Well Data -- Disable import of simulation well data for a case to reduce case import time (opposite toggling than the other import commands).

Octave - tab


Octave

• Octave executable location -- Defines the binary file location for Octave. Usually without path on Linux, and including path on Windows.
• Show text header when executing scripts -- Enables the default output that octave outputs when started.

Script Files

• Shared Script Folder(s) -- Defines the search paths for octave scripts
• Script Editor -- The text editor to invoke when editing scripts
