Amira Mesh .AM, .COL Export Options

Surfer imports and exports Amira Mesh files. These files can contain uniform lattices, rectilinear lattices, curvilinear lattices, point data, or geometric figures.

Export Options Dialog

Use the Grids | Edit | Convert command in the plot document, or File | Save | Save As in the Grid Editor to export .AM, .COL files. The Export Options dialog is only displayed if the lattice contains one or more nodes assigned the NoData value. The dialog controls determine how NoData values are treated in the export file.
