Recompute HIPS Grid

The Recompute function rebuilds a coverage surface and regenerates the surface image.

If you have updated a coverage since it was interpolated, you can apply Recompute to rebuild the interpolated surface.

Only the track lines used previously in the surface are processed during rebuilding. The Recompute operation checks to see if the surface makes use of HIPS data that is no longer present.

If data is missing, a dialog box lists what is missing. You then have the option of terminating the Recompute process, or continuing without the missing data. If you choose to continue, the replacement surface will have the missing data lines removed from its list of contributing lines.

When recomputing a CUBE surface, all CUBE surface editing, including nominations, hypothesis and node rejections, are considered no longer valid and will thus not be retained after re-computation of the surface.

Procedure

1. Highlight the surface name in the Layers window.

2. Select a Recompute command.
