Hi all,

I'm still picking faults. This time I'm picking fault sticks in map view on a similarity depth slice. The fault sticks are offset from where I'm picking... In the attached image you can see the fault I was picking, and the fault stick offset to the south by quite a distance. 

Why is there an offset in the pick versus where I clicked? Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the link. I read through it and it put me on the right track. I have it solved.

I have two monitors - ancient Acer monitors, identical, each 1920x1080, so it definitely is not a 4k/8k issue. Back when I bought them they were decently mid to high specification. 

I have an Asus ROG gaming laptop with two graphics adapters.

Looking through the display settings, I see that one of the monitors is connected to the AMD Radeon graphics while the other is  connected to the NVIDIA RTX 3070. All I had to do was move the map view window from the AMD monitor to the NVIDIA monitor, and now it's working. I guess it's time to upgrade to a single wide monitor and just run it off of the RTX 3070.

Thank you for the help, and thanks to the wonderful team at dGB for making a free version of OpenDtect.

Cheers,
Mike
