A new version of RockWorks was uploaded to the RockWare website, with new features, improvements, and bug fixes. The RockWorks Revision History includes complete lists, by date, of all changes in the program. New Features: A button titled "RockWare Knowledge Base" has been added along the right edge of the main menu bar. Clicking on this button will load the RockWare Knowledge Base into your web browser. A new program titled “DXF → Polygon Table” has been added to the Utilities / Misc menu. A new version of the Raster → Grid program is available w/ bug fixes and a menu re-design. Many improvements have been made to the ModOps / Grid / Import programs. A must read whitepaper! An option titled "Rosegrams" has been added to the symbol options for all programs that create 2-D maps from borehole data. This new capability produces maps that depict lithology or stratigraphy as radial bar graphs without the need for any modeling. A new interpolation method titled "Radial Basis" has been added to the 3D block model algorithm list. This new algorithm produces smooth models that honor the data. Improvements: Two changes have been made to the Graphics / 2D Tools / Montage program. The program now provides a means to not re-dimension the diagrams. And, the program now includes options for adding additional content (e.g., legends) to the final diagram. The Multi-Table import into the Borehole Manager will now allow multiple blocks of a given data type, say 3 blocks of Interval-Text data. When a menu is activated, RockWorks positions it where it was last placed. This can create a problem for laptop users. To eliminate this problem, the program will now check to see if a menu is positioned on a visible monitor after it has been opened. If it isn't, the menu will be automatically moved and maximized onto the main monitor (e.g., the laptop screen). A new option for the Export All-Tracks for I-Data, I-Text, P-Data, P-Text and T-Data is the ability to export only those tracks that actually have data. This eliminates empty columns in the export. Bug Fixes: The 2D Peripherals / Image option now works correctly. The previous version would only plot the image if it was in a folder different from the current project folder. The Contour Line table was specified in both the 2D Grid Map and 3D Grid Diagram menus. The 3D menu setting won out as it was the last to be saved which overwrote the 2D settings. The Contour Line table now uses different variables for 2D and 3D menus. New Feature: A program titled K-Means Clustering has been added to the ModOps / Statistics sub-menu.

There are no options to preserve the vertical exaggeration for the export. This program is used to export the active layers of the current RockPlot2D display to an ESRI Shape file format, for use with ArcGIS. Three shape types are exported: Points: Circles, Symbols, Text Polylines: Lines, Polylines (such as contour lines), Arrows Polygons: Color contours, polygons Other items in the RockPlot2D graphic will be ignored. It is highly recommended to limit the kinds of data that are being exported at any one time - use RockPlot2D's layers pane (on the right side) to enable/disable the items to be exported/not exported. Sorry, but we don't have any GIS software to test the import with currently.

An updated version of LogPlot has been loaded to the RockWare website! Bug Fix: Start with multiple compiled logs (lpt8 or View tab). Added the ability to do a mass pdf (image) export using the >File >Export menu. You can refer to the complete LogPlot revision list: https://www.rockware.com/support/logplot-support/logplot-revision-list/ To download this build visit the LogPlot Free Trial tab (https://www.rockware.com/product/logplot/) where you can download the installation program and install the new build.

A new version of RockWorks was uploaded to the RockWare website, with new features, improvements, and bug fixes. The RockWorks Revision History includes complete lists, by date, of all changes in the program. New Features: A button titled "Set to Project's Values" has been added to the Borehole Operations / Lithology / Volumetrics menu. This button will copy the values for the current Project Dimensions to the Upper Elevation, Lower Elevation, and Interval. A button has been added to adjust the end point coordinates to match the value range. It is now possible to automatically set the elevation for the image within the Graphics / Images / Float program to the project minimum or maximum z-value. These new options are also available within the 3D program that include an option for adding a floating image to the diagram. The Cage options which are used to add perimeter annotation to 3D diagrams now include an option to add a small north arrow to the diagram. A smoothing option has been added to the ModOps / Solid / Extract Grids / Solid → Thickness Grid. Several new options have been added to the Multivariate Lithology Map menu that is accessed via the Borehole Operations / Lithology pull-down menu. The Dimensions / Scan programs now include an option to add a buffer around the suggested project dimensions. The DEM (Digital Elevation Model) import program now includes options for specifying if the elevation data is stored in a South-to-North or West-to-East fashion. Grids surface displayed in RockPlot3D can now include contours. Contour lines may now be added to 3D surface diagrams directly. Titles may now be added to 3D diagrams directly. A new option has been added to the 3D Log Designer / Lithologic Interval Labeling that can be used to limit the labeling to lithologies with specific g-values. Improvements: It is now possible to adjust the opacity of the background image within two-dimensional maps. A "Select Properties" has been added to the RockPlot2D popup menu. It allows users to select from a number of items when there is more than one item under the cursor. Upon completion, the Playlist now scrolls to the first checked item within the list. This makes it easier to test items within long playlists. When you select several Playlist items, you can enable/disable them all at once. The selected items can also be edited as text vs. editing the entire Playlist. The T-Data Time Graph program now has the option to specify the Date/Time format. The vertical height of the tabs within multi-page menus has been decreased from 40 to 30 pixels to minimize the amount of scrolling that is necessary when viewing menus within the Playlist. The ASCII DEM -> Grid program runs a bit faster when extracting portions of a DEM to a grid based on the Project Dimensions. Bug Fixes: The Borehole Map no longer displays at maximum extent if no labels are plotted. Editing selected playlist items will now copy the items back to the same locations without jumping around. Borehole Manager - File | Export | P-Data, I-Data & T-Data | All Tracks, can be set to measure Depths from the Collar Elevation without an error. Programs within the Playlist that are unable to create 3D logs due to no data will no longer interrupt the processing with warning messages. Instead, the warning message will be added to the Execution History listing. The Lithology Label Intervals / Center Text option within the 3D Log Designer now only posts labels on the logs.

A new version of RockWorks was uploaded to the RockWare website, with new features, improvements, and bug fixes. The RockWorks Revision History includes complete lists, by date, of all changes in the program. New Features: A new DEM importer has been added to the ModOps / Grid / Import menu. This program handles "generic" DEMs versus the "Legacy" importers that are hardwired to antiquated (pre-2008) USGS and Canadian formats. A new program titled “Soundings → Boolean Solid” has been added to the ModOps / Solid / Create pull-down menu. The RockPlot2D Circle item can now be drawn as a Circle, Square, Triangle, Diamond or Star. It has been renamed to "Shape". The Bubble map option in the Point Map program can now plot points as Circle, Square, Tringles, Diamonds or Stars. This feature has been renamed "Proportional Shapes". The Playlist shows comments in yellow without a check box. Improvements: Documentation added to ModOps / Grid / Import / GeoTiff menu. The RockWorks GeoTiff importer allows the user to select between one and four GeoTiff files. The ModOps / Volume / Extract Via Surface Excavation program no longer extends the pit outside of the lease boundary if the Add Benches option is enabled. The lithology and stratigraphy volumetric reports no longer include the "Undefined" volumetrics within the "Total" column calculations. The Plot Polygon from the Polygon Table dialog now offers an option to fill the polygon. A 'G Filter' has been added to the Borehole Map Proportional Shapes program. ReportWorks now updates the caption filename after selecting a 'Save As' command on an unmodified file. Bug Fixes: The Borehole Map no longer displays at maximum extent if no labels are plotted. Borehole Manager | File | Import | Excel | Row Based has been fixed. When importing Location data into an empty project, the import would complain about duplicate boreholes even though there were no duplicates and the information imported correctly. Users can reset the graphical items defaults in RockPlot2D. Key strokes (arrows) are now being recognized when using the Playlist and its Ingredient menus. The RockPlot2D Scalebar has an added option to adjust the ending value if the Scalebar is resized, as well as other improvements. The RockPlot3D Color Legend is plotting small values correctly when the order is set to descending. RockPlot2D colorfill contour bands now use the min/mid/max color scheme and adjust the minimum interval (if the interval count is odd) to avoid problems with the bands not matching the contour lines. If a required field (like Depth to Base in Lithology or a LithoType) is missing, the program will report it, but you can then hide successive warnings. This allows large imports to proceed without hitting 'Enter' to dismiss each warning. To download this build, use the Help | Updates | Check for Updates menu inside RockWorks.

A new version of RockWorks was uploaded to the RockWare website, with new features, improvements, and bug fixes. The RockWorks Revision History includes complete lists, by date, of all changes in the program. New Features: The Solid Modeling / Algorithm / Directional tab now contains four algorithms, two of which (Line and Polyline) are new. The line-biased modeling provides a tool for specifying the endpoints for a line that will be used to bias the modeling. The polyline-biased modeling provides a tool for specifying the vertices for a polyline that will be used to bias the modeling. The main form will now auto-adjust to fit within the desktop if the last-used location was outside the current desktop. This situation can occur when switching between multi-monitor and single-monitor systems. A new program called “GeoCylinders” has been added to the Utilities / 3-D sub-menu. This program is used to plot geologic units encountered within boreholes or measured as color-coded vertical cylinders. RockPlot2D now allows searching through block text and text by name allowing users to find Boreholes or Data Points by their labels. New Bouguer Anomaly program added that converts gravity observations to Bouguer Anomaly values for subsequent gridding in to Bouguer Anomaly contour maps. Improvements: RockWorks will always start on the form where it was last closed and adjust the size to fit in the active computer screen. When importing an LAS file, in the LAS File Import Wizard | Options for the required borehole data, we have added a input field for Collar Elevation. Using very large Cell Spacing in RockPlot2D Pattern Legends no longer causes an empty legend. Since users might mistake the Cell Spacing setting for cell height the value is automatically limited to 5% in the properties dialog and in existing Rw2D files. Improvements were made to the Data Integrity Check program; remove T-Data duplicates will now handle comparing dates and records with NULL date values, and show the correct T-Data Type (instead of an I-Data Type) . The Backup and Restore options within the Borehole Manager / File menu have been duplicated within the Project menu. The Licensing help dialog has been updated to include the Toolbox. Bug Fixes: Borehole Manager - File | Import | Excel/Text | Row-Based - "Replace" option now works as expected. Raster images exported from RockPlot3D to Google Earth are now visible. The ModOps / Solid / Create / 3 Grids -> Solid program now displays the correct Input/Output sub-menu. The ModOps / Volume / Extract via Surface Excavation program now correctly extrapolates the pit to the edges of the user-specified perimeter (if used). If all the comments in the Peripherals/Title Block are blank the comments section isn't plotted. The decimal places within the output from the ModOps / Solid / Export / Other Formats / ASCII XYZ program are now based on the values specified within the menu.

An updated version of LogPlot has been loaded to the RockWare website! New Features: A CLOSE command has been added to the command line batch processing that terminates the program after processing. The Total Depth can be displayed below the last Lithology Description using a macro where the # character is replaced by the Total Depth. The Total Depth will only be displayed if there is blank space between the last lithology description and the footer or base of the page. The Lithology Pattern columns can now replace the pattern background color with a specified Munsell Color. Users can simply enter the Munsell Color codes directly into the datasheet. If the code doesn't match the text will appear in red. Improvements: In the LogPlot data editor the width of Edit-Text Name column can now be resized. The Log Design snap grid is honored when resizing log body columns and header items. The Column Legend now has the option of a third line in a title. The Lithology column offers the option to plot the pattern foreground or background as a solid fill. Bug Fixes: The Alignment tool in the Log Designer now always works by selecting the item to be aligned too and then the item(s) that need to be aligned. Vertical Body lines will honor the base margin. The align options for all tools in the Log Designer work correctly when the Log Designer is in zoom mode. When working in the Log Designer with multiple Static and Edit Text items, you can use the >right click >Align tool and the selected items will align correctly.

A new version of RockWorks was uploaded to the RockWare website, with new features, improvements, and bug fixes. The RockWorks Revision History includes complete lists, by date, of all changes in the program. New Features: The Axis Labeling menu that is used by a variety of programs now includes options that determine what the margins, titles, tick-marks, and label dimensions represent. A new algorithm called 'TriLayering' has been added for modeling 3D lithology data. This algorithm is designed to provide a tool for modeling lithology datasets that represent layered but laterally discontinuous materials that do not laterally grade from one material type to another. The Project Dimensions Aspect (Width/Height) Ratio is now displayed within the Dimensions menu. This number represents the project diagonal (the horizontal distance from the southwest corner to the northeast corner) divided by the vertical distance from the lowest point to the highest point. A new Directional / Automatic solid-modeling algorithm has been added. Improvements: For Row-Based Tables imports to the Borehole Manager, the user will now be asked to confirm coordinate system/unit changes before processing the import. Improved the drawing of slices in a solid model. Added the borehole name to the output of the >Solid >Extract Values program. The Solid Model Declustering method has been simplified in order to ensure that the points created are centered on the voxel. The Grid Surface Declustering method has been simplified in order to insure that the points created are centered on the grid cell which enhances the honoring of high and low values and runs quicker. Excluded boreholes are no longer reported when creating profiles. The solid modeling "Constrain" option will not require an output file to exist already, user will need to specify that file if desired. The Label Contours option now also controls whether labels from a contour table are plotted. The "Add Points" option is now available when using the Lateral Blending, Lateral Exclusion, or TriLayering algorithms. Please note that the G-Values for the points must correspond with the G-Values within the LithoTypes table. The ModOps / Solid / Filters / Borehole Clipping program is now "multi-threaded" meaning that it's much faster The Profile, Section and Fence selection map now has an Over Zoom mode that allows unlimited zooming. The time required to compute the lithology volumetrics has been significantly decreased Bug Fixes: Color fill and contours are better matched for grids derived from stratigraphic or lithologic models where the cell values could match the contour intervals. RockPlot 2D Legend Titles will resize to fit the height of the Title Box set by the user. XLSM (Excel Macro-Embedded) files are now included in the list of files that appear when the user is working with a process involving an Excel file. In the Fence, Profile and Cross Section, the Location dialog no longer causes an Out of Resources error when the maximum zoom level is reached. The ProSect with Boreholes enabled only reports boreholes that are found to speed up processing. Borehole Manager I/T/P-Data Column-Based Import - The commas in field names are no longer being interpreted as field separators, allowing the import into the existing Types table (was creating new types). The LAS importer shows the current log types available in the Field Name dropdown list box. The Utilities / Planes / Planes -> Spherical Net program no longer adds items that may have been enabled within other programs. The Perimeter Cage automatic dimensions option now displays correctly when viewing Lithology models. To download this build, use the Help | Updates | Check for Updates menu inside RockWorks. RockWorks Link, click on the free trial tab: https://www.rockware.com/product/rockworks/ where you can download the installation program and install the new build right over the top of the existing program.

A new version of RockWorks was uploaded to the RockWare website, with new features, improvements, and bug fixes. The RockWorks Revision History includes complete lists, by date, of all changes in the program. New Features: A new feature for Playlists is that you can add notes. This helps with organization and when running the program later. The Playlist Add menu was separated into 3 main categories; Project Commands, Datasheet Commands, and Playlist Commands because the Add list was getting long. A Directional First Derivative calculator has been added to Grid|Math. The maximum number of terms that can be replaced by the Utilities / Misc / Replace Text program has been increased from 4 to 5. The Solid / Extract Grids / Solid -> Grids program now includes an option whereby the sampling thickness that is used when plotting control points can be different than the sampling thickness that is used to create the grid models. The Extract Values from Solid can now either use a single borehole as before or a list of boreholes stored in the Utilities spreadsheet. Improvements: Clicking on the scene image in RockPlot3D sets the focus so that the cursor keys can be used to rotate the scene. A right-click option was added to 'Modify Selected Text' in ReportWorks for text drawn all on the same layer. The Playlist Notes editor has been improved to look and act similar to the SQL statement editor. For the Labeled Axes the minor line can be disabled from view if it's not necessary. Exports from RockPlot3D to Google Earth now honor the 3D object's transparency settings. The Line Survey -> XYZ program converts geophysical survey data from a line-based format into an XYZ format suitable for three-dimensional display and modeling. The ModOps / Solid / Extract Grids / Solid -> Grids program now includes options for creating and displaying the grids. Redesigned the menu and increased the allowed number of targets and replacement fields to 10. This is for the Replace Text program. The lithoblending algorithm now post-processes the model to replace voxels that contain control points with the original control point g-values The Section, Profile, and Fence selection map now has scroll bars to move around when zoomed in. Bug Fixes: For P-Data, the Standardize menu saves the names of the P-Data tracks, instead of looking for the track ID. The Borehole Operations / P-Data / GT Compositing program now reads data from the specified P-Data column. We recommend that Network license users install the RockWare Network License Administrator v. 1.18. Contact support at rockware.com for a link to the latest version.

An updated version of LogPlot has been loaded to the RockWare website! Improvements: Interval Text that overlaps the end of a log page no longer plots only the second line of the text on the subsequent page. The base lines for Interval Text samples will now draw on a compiled log when the check box to Frame Sample is enabled. Users now receive an error message if a Histogram, a Curve, or a Legend is missing their color table. Bug Fixes: The Interval Text base lines are drawn when selected to show in the Interval Text Options dialog; Draw Line at Column Top + Base. The default text color for Column Legends is now always black.

A new version of RockWorks was uploaded to the RockWare website, with new features, improvements, and bug fixes. The RockWorks Revision History includes complete lists, by date, of all changes in the program. New Features: A program titled Grids / Layered Solid has been added to the ModOps / Solid / Create sub-menu. Unlike the Grids / Stratigraphic Solid program, this program does not require a Superface and Subface grid for each layer – just a Superface. Instead, the program starts with the lowest surface (as defined by the order in the grids listed within the datasheet) and assigns the voxels below that surface and the base of the model (as defined by the Project Dimensions) to the specified G-value. A program titled “Grids -> Layered Solid” has been added to the ModOps / Solid / Create sub-menu. A new program titled “Gridded XYZ -> Grid” has been added to the ModOps / Grid / Create menu group. This program will create a grid by reading XYZ data from an ASCII text file or the RockWorks Datasheet. The grid will be populated by simply assigning z-values to the closest grid node. The IDW Layered solid-modeling algorithm will allow the user to specify a manual layer height; in project units or in multiples of the voxel height. A new option titled “Include Grid Profile” has been added to the Graphics / Images / Vertical / Multiple sub-menu. Added a color picker (eye dropper) to RockPlot2D that allows you to select a color displayed in a RockPlot2D or RockPlot3D window. The Envelope option within the solid modeling menu now includes an option to offset the base of the model by a user-specified amount. The Datasheet / Search / Find & Replace menu now includes an option to replace just the portion of the text that matches the target. If unchecked, the entire contents of the cell will be replaced with the “Target” string. The Histogram programs now include options for plotting two vertical threshold lines at user-specified magnitudes within the diagram. Improvements: Clicking on the "How-To" button at the top of the main RockWorks menu will now display two sub-options. The "Textual Listing" option will display an expanding/collapsing textual topic menu that can be searched. Clicking on the new "Graphical Listing" will load a large array of annotated "thumbnail" images into the default web browser. Clicking on one of these image thumbnails (or the textual description below it) will display the associated video, HTML file, PDF file, or image. The color selection button used in RockWorks and LogPlot now has an additional button that puts the program in eyedropper mode. It captures all screens and allows the user to select a color they want to use. Note the red outline that indicates that you're in selection mode and press any key to cancel selection mode. Under the Add dropdown in the Playlist, an option was added to enable/disable boreholes based on a list. Raster and PDF exports of RockPlot2D files can now be created with a specific width and height. The Vertical Exaggeration is calculated based on the calculated scales. The Solid Modeling Directional Algorithm works better for groundwater plumes. Added nice features to the Solid Modeling algorithm. The Peripheral dialog now adjusts the position of the splitter bar to make sure the entire dialog is always visible. A depth filter has been added to the Spatial Filters dialog. This option is ignored by programs not using depth. The Borehole Manager / Stratigraphy / Grids -> 3D Strat. The diagram program has been moved to the ModOps / Grid menu because the input does not rely on the borehole database. When you close a playlist, the undocked windows no longer dock themselves, which speeds up the closing process. Added the color selection button, including the color picker, to the Widgits | Color Convertor | Line editor and symbol editor. When working in the Map/Model tables that have a color field you now can right-click and select a color from a dialog with a color selection button. The I-Data a P-Data Interval Labeling sub-menus within the 2D striplog designer now include vertical scrollbars if the menus are vertically squished. A Tolerance option has been added to numerous programs that display a raster image in RockPlot3D. The Tolerance factor expands the range of colors rendered transparent in an image. A tolerance of 0 only limits the transparency to the transparent color. Higher values will include more colors. The RockPlot3D toolbar now has 4 buttons that allow the user to select from fixed above viewpoints (SE, SW, NE, NW) without resetting the zoom or translation points. Bug Fixes: Anchor Text in RockPlot2D can now be resized from the handles on the left. The "Display Output in Default Viewer" setting for Rw2D Exports to Raster and PDF is now honored. Changing between OpenGL Hardware and Software settings from the RockPlot3D About dialog now works correctly. Logical legends in RockPlot3D now display the text correctly whether in ascending or descending order. Compiled logs are no longer length restrained by the Lithology Descriptions. When working in RockPlot2D and using Text (BlockText) on your display, the 'handles' available on each corner will allow resizing of the text box. This will keep the spacing and paragraph settings. Use the cursor to move the text to prevent overlaying other details. The Color Names system table works better with adding systems, assigning names, changing names, and filtering them. A new system is added by adding a color entry (or changing one) with a different number in the Color System field. For instance using the number '3', as the first 2 numbers are the default system and the Munsell colors system. Automatically cropping the full project's image down to match a subsite no longer rotates the cropped image. Pattern Assistant for Litho, Strat, Aquifer, and Well Construction types - The 'Add' button now works as expected for adding Keywords and Patterns. Undocked windows in the Playlist can now be closed without redocking them. We recommend that Network license users install the RockWare Network License Administrator v. 1.18.
