Occurrence
After installing Discover or Engage3D, I am unable to use certain Vertical Mapper tools.
Solution
Ensure the grids you wish to manipulate are in Vertical Mapper format, which can be converted using the Grid Utilities>Convert tool.
Open the grid file in the front map window, and go to Surfaces->Import Grid File->Toggle Support for Vertical Mapper grid
The grid will now be display as a Raster image using the Vertical Mapper plug-in, and Vertical Mapper's tools will be functional.
To re-enable Vertical Mapper grid support in Discover or Engage3D, see the related article
