[GRASS-user] v.surf.rst

Dear all,
I'm working on a 3D vector map of a geological surface. I tried to
interpolate the points with v.surf.rst getting an elevation raster map
which is attached to this email as image. The surface changes its depth along a
curved line (see the attachment). Is there a way to tune the v.surf.rst
command in order to make it take into account of the curvature?
Is "tcurv" option doing it? and if yes, how can I use it? I mean, what
kind of value should I put as tcurv?

thanks to all
cheers
Francesco

tcurv=string
    Output tangential curvature raster file

Hi Maciej and list,
thanks for your reply, I will try to get some more info about tangential
curvatures.

By the way, does anyone know if GEOLOGICAL SURFACES like fault planes or
bedding planes (not "phenomena", like gas emissions, etc.) can be modeled with
v.surf.rst? or with some other grass-command? Has anyone done it?

cheers
Francesco

Hi Francesco,

it is possible "model" discontinuous features (the gully example in the GRASS
book [1] comes to mind) however there are important limitations that you must
consider. Try searching past archives of this list- for some rather long
discussions on a similar topic: breaklines, rst, nnbathy.

Maciej has implemented an alternate interpolator which may do what you need.

Post back with your results, or further questions if the archives do not help.

Cheers,

Dylan
