Follow steps 1 - 4 below to open an existing project in KINGDOM. T
1. Select Start > Programs > The KINGDOM Software 8.4, or double-click the KINGDOM
icon on your desktop to open the Start Page.

2. Choose Project > Open Project from the menu bar or click Open: Project to open the Open

3. Navigate to the project folder containing the KINGDOM project and double-click
<Project>.tks to open the Select Author dialog box.
4. Select an author and click OK to simultaneously open the Project Tree and the Base Map for
the <Project>.tks project in the KINGDOM main window (Figure 2).

Note: If the Backup Reminder message appears, click Continue to open the project without
backing it up.

Note: If you have saved a previous session, the Open Session File dialog box opens.
Double-click the file name of the desired previous session that you want to open. If you do
not want to open a previous session, click Cancel to close the dialog box.

Tip: You can also open an existing project by clicking the project in the Recent Projects lists.

3. Navigate to the folder where you want to create the project and enter the project name. In the
folder where you create the project, each project name must be unique.
4. Click Create to open the Author Name dialog box.
5. Enter an author name for the project and click OK to open the Select Project Database dialog
box.

Note: When you create a project, select an Administrator or high level designation (that is, the
company name or initials) for the author name. This author name is the name under which
all project level data is imported. These data are stored with the project and not in an
individual folder. All authors created subsequently have individual author folders in which
interpretations are stored.

6. Select the database that you will be using and click OK to open the Project Options dialog
box.
7. Enter the distance units and seismic datum elevations for your project and click OK to open a
message that asks if you want to use the coordinate system of an existing project.
8. Click Yes to search for an existing coordinate system or click No to start the project with an

The menu bar and individual menus in the KINGDOM main window are dynamic and change T
according to the active (selected) window. In Figure 2, the Base Map is active; therefore the
menu item displayed on the far left of the main window menu bar is Map and the other items on
the main menu bar relate to the Base Map. When the Project Tree is the active window, the menu
item displayed on the far left of the main menu bar is Explore, and other menu items on the main
menu bar relate to the Project Tree, as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3 - KINGDOM main window with the Project Tree active

Note: The text at the bottom of the Project Tree shows your current valid license(s). If you are
running KINGDOM as you follow this tutorial, EarthPAK or 2d/3dPAK-EarthPAK
should be displayed at the bottom of your Project Tree. If EarthPAK or 2d/3dPAK-
EarthPAK is not displayed at the bottom of the Project Tree, see How to Update
License Status to obtain an EarthPAK or 2d/3dPAK-EarthPAK license.
