The out-of-plane transport direction also affects the 2D restoration of areas affected by strike-slip faults. Furthermore, the limited dip-slip component in most strike-slip faults means that flattening of younger strata to estimate displacement and perform the restoration will most likely not yield fully restored sections/volumes.<ref name=Durandriardetal_2013 /> Hence, it is advised that features that have certain spatial geometry (e.g. channels, older faults) and are cut by the strike-slip fault be used to put constraint on the horizontal displacement.
