Profiles can be added to the 3D view by selecting Add Profile from the 3D view <RMB> menu. The new profile is created at the currently picked location <CTRL + LMB>, or at the currently cursor position if no point has been picked. It is also possible to create a profile along a picked line (Digitized Profile option) or along a migration flow path (Full Flow Path Profile option). The profiles are added to the Profiles folder the project workspace tree. The Profile properties can be changed and the profiles be activated or deactivated in the 3d view by selecting them in the tree. Profiles can be dragged in the 3D view by holding down the <ALT + LMB> buttons.
The profiles can also be viewed in the Profile window. This view (Figure 4.12) shows the same properties and colour scale as the 3D view. A menu for setting the colour scale and interacting with the profile is available from <RMB> menu. A pull-down menu in the upper left part of the window is used to select the currently active profile. The vertical scale (height of profile) can be changed by dragging the upper right slider.

GeoHistory
GeoHistory plots show the burial history and property evolution through time at a point in the model (Figure 4.13). The GeoHistory plots can be viewed in the GeoHistory window.
To create a new GeoHistory plot, pick a point in the 3D view and choose the Add Geohistory option from the <RMB> menu. This option is only available after a simulation has been completed. Multiple GeoHistories can be created and added to the GeoHistory section in the Project Workspace. The properties for the different plots, such as turning on and off different elements and overlays can be set in the Geohistory properties section of the Project Workspace.
Different property overlays are available from the Property drop-down menu. A litho column showing the lithology fraction and layer interfaces at present day is included to the right of the plot. The y-axis can be set to either Depth [m] or Age [Ma].

Vertical logs
This functionality requires the MigriXplore license feature
Vertical logs coloured according to lithology and fluid contents can be visualized in the Log Viewer by using the Show Vertical Log option from the <RMB> menu in the 3D view, the 2D view or in the Profile view.
The result may be viewed as in Figure 4.19. Any log can be dragged into the lithology column or into a track (double-clicking on a log, e.g. Porosity and Permeability will create a new track with that log). Other options are available from the <RMB> menu. The slider at the bottom is used to move the well log point along a profile.
A number of plots templates (e.g. temperature, pressure, maturities) are available from the Add plot menu button in the toolbar. These plots can be used to check the difference between modelling results and observations data.
