TIPS

RockWorks15: Working with Sub-Projects

Use the Sort, Query and Project Dimensions tools to group and model boreholes within a project.

For example, let's say that you have a project in which there are dozens of quarries within a linear deposit that extends over several miles. You could create separate RockWorks projects for each quarry, but managing the lithology and stratigraphy types would be unwieldy. And managing boreholes in-between the quarries would also be troublesome.

Instead, you can classify your boreholes with a site name, sort the boreholes by site, query the holes by site, and save/load specific project dimensions by site.

1. Add a custom field to the Location table named Site:  Open your project in RockWorks and right-click anywhere on the Location datasheet and select Choose Optional Fields.  Click the Add a New Field button and name it "Site" as a String field.

2. Enter the Site names for your boreholes.  An easy way to do this for existing boreholes is to File / Transfer the locations to the Utilities datasheet, enter the Site names in the Site column for all the holes, and then File / Transfer the data back to the Borehole Manager.

3. Sort the boreholes by Site name: Use the View / Change Sort of Boreholes menu option to define the Site field as the primary sort field.  (You can then add Name or other field as the secondary sort.)

4. Enable only those boreholes in a selected Site by clicking manually, or (easier) using the View / Filter Boreholes query tool to enable only those holes with Optional Fields / Site / Equal To the site name you enter.

5. Use the Scan Enabled Boreholes button to scan for project dimensions using those enabled holes.  Fine-tune these (e.g. node spacing) as necessary.

6. Use the Save Dimensions to File button to save these project dimensions for later retrieval.
