# Edit Sets

The Edit Sets option allows you to:

- Customize the visibility of MEAN poles / planes belonging to SETS.

- Display Confidence and Variability cones for SETS.

- Delete SETS.

NOTE!!!

To change the Visibility settings, display Confidence or Variability Cones, or to Delete Sets:

- You must first select the plane(s) by selecting the row ID buttons at the left of the dialog. You can select multiple planes at once, by dragging with the mouse, or by using the Shift and/or Control keys while selecting with the mouse.

- The "Type of Planes" list box allows you to list only UNWEIGHTED or WEIGHTED planes, if you only need to modify the properties of one type of plane.

The colour or labeling of planes can be edited directly (i.e. the row ID buttons do NOT have to be selected). The Set ID and mean plane orientations CANNOT be edited. Note that the format of the mean orientations will correspond to the current Convention.

Visibility

The visibility of MEAN poles, planes, and associated Set ID and label can be customized. Note that when MEAN poles/planes are displayed on the stereonet:

- The letter "m" beside the Set ID indicates the UNWEIGHTED mean pole/plane.

- The letter "w" beside the Set ID indicates the WEIGHTED mean pole/plane.

A Daylight Envelope can also be displayed for any MEAN plane.

NOTE: the Show Planes option must be toggled ON for a given view, in order for mean planes to be displayed on that view. If Show Planes is toggled OFF, NO planes will be displayed, regardless of the visibility settings in the Edit Sets dialog.

Confidence and Variability Cones

Confidence and / or Variability Cones can be displayed for each Set, at one, two or three standard deviations, or a custom percentage, for both WEIGHTED or UNWEIGHTED data, by selecting the appropriate planes and checkboxes. See the Set Statistics topic for more information.

NOTE: the Show Windows option will show or hide the Confidence and Variability cones, along with the Set Windows, on each view.

Deleting Sets

Sets are deleted by selecting the corresponding MEAN plane(s) in the Edit Sets dialog, and selecting the Delete button. NOTE:

- When you select Delete, you are deleting the SET, and not just the planes. ALL information associated with a SET (i.e. mean planes, Set windows, etc) will be deleted, and the Set Column will be updated accordingly.

- You may select EITHER the UNWEIGHTED or WEIGHTED mean plane to Delete the corresponding Set. It is NOT necessary to select both planes.

- To delete ALL Sets, you can use the Delete All Sets option in the Sets menu.
