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.

A new version of RockWorks was uploaded to the RockWare website, with bug fixes, improvements, and new features. The RockWorks Revision History includes complete lists, by date, of all changes in the program. New Features: The Unidirectional Gridding Algorithm has been modified to use a method similar to the Bidirectional Algorithm. This means that the weighting will be greater in the specified direction. Tolerance will no longer be used. You may now selectively delete borehole data from a single borehole, from enabled boreholes, or from all boreholes. The menu item is at the end of the Edit menu in the Borehole Manager. A new option titled "Limit model to 3D convex hull "envelope" that encloses control points." has been added to the IDW Layered algorithm menu. If checked, this option will create an imaginary convex "envelope" that encloses all of the control points. This surface is then used to limit the modeling to just the regions with control points. It will also limit the top of the model to a surface that is based on a triangulated grid that is fit to the highest control points. A new option titled "Automatic" has been added to the IDW Layered algorithm menu. If checked, the Layer Height will be automatically set to twice the average minimum vertical distance between all of the control points. Added 2 special actions to the playlist: Enable All Datasheet Rows and Disable All Datasheet Rows. Improvements: The Peripherals menu that is embedded within all programs that generate two-dimensional diagrams (maps, sections, graphs) has been significantly enhanced. This may cause the need for some reorganization of the peripheral items and their sizes when you open diagrams created in older versions. The default file name ("LithoPhysics1.RwGrd") for the predictive model is now the same for the Create Predictive Model and Apply to the Predictive Model programs. The Borehole Operations / P-Data / Apply Predictive Model program displays the correct file name in the History list as the lithology for each borehole is consolidated. A scroll box has been added to the Peripherals designer to provide access to hidden portions of the diagram when the splitter bar is dragged to the left. The cursor used to edit size and location in the 2D Peripherals designer now changes based on its position on a peripheral object (arrow type cursor at side, corner, etc.). Project images can now be saved for the full project and Subsites. The image can be increased or decreased in size to fit the dimensions for whichever item it is georeferenced for, so the image is tied to whichever Subsite is selected. This increases the version of the Data Dictionary to 40. Bug Fixes: The Solid Modeling Directional Weighting now more accurately honors the search direction. The Image generated by the Peripherals now displays the Y coordinates in the correct positions in the property editor. The resizing issues in the Peripheral Designer have been fixed. The RockPlot2D Pattern Legends now show the Y coordinates in their correct location in the properties dialog. Using the Scan Data command in a Playlist now updates the Project Dimensions. Clearing the Playlist output tabs now locks drawing of 2D and 3D windows to speed up the process. Titles for legends in the RockPlot3D export to OBJ (Sketchfab) are now centered. 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! Improvement: The program to save to the RockWorks project as an XML file has been updated. The Save button saves the template info to where the template file name edit indicates, even if it is in a different folder. Bug Fixes: Added wrapping option for when a curve drops below the minimum range value. Compiled logs using the Column Outline tool in the log body section now load correctly. You can refer to the complete LogPlot revision list: https://www.rockware.com/rockworks/revisions/current_logplot_revisions.htm 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 bug fixes, improvements, and new features. The RockWorks Revision History includes complete lists, by date, of all changes in the program. New Features: A new algorithm titled “IDW Layered” has been added to the Algorithm submenu that is embedded within all of the applications that create solid (voxel) models. This algorithm was designed to provide a tool for quickly modeling large datasets that represent horizontally layered (but laterally discontinuous) materials. Video instructions are now available from within the Borehole Manager / Bitmaps table. Video instructions are now available from within the Contact Picking program. A video help option has been added to the 2D Peripherals menu. Video instructions are now available from within the Borehole Manager / Orientation table editor. A program titled "3D Tags" has been added to the Graphics / 3D Tools menu group. A sample input file titled "Infrastructure_Labels.RwDat" is now available by clicking on the Example button within the 3D Tags menu. This program is used to add item annotation to 3D diagrams. The RockPlot3D Digitize option has been added as a menu item under Utilities. A new "Search Tree" button has been added to the How-To menu. When clicked this will highlight any items within the topic outline that contain the search term. Items that contain the search term but are "branches" of a highlighted item will not be highlighted. The ModOps / Grid / Statistics / Scattergram and ModOps / Solid / Statistics / Scattergram program menus are now limited to linear regression curve fitting. Users can now specify the minimum and maximum colors for I-Data and T-Data in 2D logs; and I-Data, P-Data, and T-Data in 3D logs. A program titled “Solid -> P-Data” has been added to the ModOps / Solid / Export sub-menu. This program will extract the g-values from a specified solid model into the corresponding P-Data intervals within one or more boreholes. The Datasheet / Transfer / Strat -> Borehole Manager program now includes options for importing elevations or depths into the Borehole Manager database. The previous version would only import elevations. In addition, the program will now convert elevations to depths for inclined and deviated boreholes. Improvements: Titles for 3D Striplogs can now be plotted horizontally, vertically, or at a 45-degree angle. The RockPlot2D Scalebar can now be plotted with an opaque background. The menu items for the Project Notes: Load from a file and Save As, are no longer grayed out, and are functional. Users can now set the line style for Profile, Section, and Projected Section vertical panel lines. RockPlot2D Scalebars can now display either Meters converted to Feet or Feet converted to Meters. Added a button to set the "Project Coordinates" as that extent to use for the clip dimensions in the RockPlot2D Clip With Coordinates dialog. GeoTiffs specify the coordinate reference system usually with an EPSG code however, the GeoTiff may then specify different units for both horizontal and vertical values than the EPSG code specifies. RockWorks will now use any overridden units. The RockPlot 2D Scalebar selects a more appropriate interval when plotted as a filled bar and can be selected by clicking anywhere within its bounds. The Peripherals menu that is embedded within all programs that generate two-dimensional diagrams (maps, sections, graphs) has been significantly enhanced. This may cause the need for some reorganization of the peripheral items and their sizes when you open diagrams created in older versions. The Unidirectional gridding algorithm has been improved to vary the strength based on the difference between the direction and the data point. Bug Fixes: Plotting I-Data and P-Data within 3D striplogs as Cold -> Hot discs now works correctly with data that has a very small range (e.g., zero to 1.0). For example, the figure below is based on P-Data which ranges between zero and 1.0. Datasheet - File | Import | ASCII, Column Definitions are now parsed correctly even if the units have 2 words like "Local Meters". The status of faulting is now stored in the grid header so that faulting will be turned on during the contouring of existing grids. For already created grids without the Fault parameter, the program will check the grids metadata. Licensing: RockWorks will now create MP4 videos in which the original frame dimensions are not evenly divisible by two. If a user has a floating license checked out and then tries to connect to the License Server, the licensing will indicate the user already has a license checked out (as floating) and read that license from the local computer's disk. However, if the user's local floating license has become corrupted or otherwise invalid, the licensing falls back to try Trialware licensing. If the user then tries to connect to the server from the Network Licensing tab of the licensing dialog, the licensing will now warn the user the License is already checked out on loan. To rectify the problem the license must be manually "returned" from the "RockWare Network License Administrator" (run on the server) from the Tools | View User Status - Clear User button. The user can then click on the "connect" button to reestablish a normal network license. 3D model volumetrics calculated by RockPlot3D no longer include cells assigned null values if the G-Value filter is disabled. The Lithology Solid Model Output Filter now disables units that fall outside of the filter range. Forward Slash ("/") characters in Lithology, Stratigraphy, and Aquifer Tables are now being read correctly in RockPlot3D. Rw3D files will need to be recreated to correct this issue. Lithology models are now embedded in RockPlot3D files. Exporting Lithology and Solid models files from RockPlot3D as Shape files now include all Voxels including the voxels that would normally be hidden. Keep in mind that while RockWorks will create larger files there is a 2GB limit on the size of Shape files in most programs. The Borehole Manager Quick Map now correctly displays the background image when a Sub Site is selected and the image location is based on the Project Dimensions. 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! New Features: The in-program batch files (.btsc8) can now be run from the command line. The batch dialog has been expanded to include both Save and Save As buttons. The LogPlot batch program now outputs the btc8 file in a more readable XML format. Improvements: Depth grids in curves, cross plots, and bar graphs can now be plotted in relation to elevation. Horizontal lines plotted with automatic intervals can also be plotted in relation to elevation. Log Designer property dialogs are now placed to minimize the overlap with their associated item. A footer to the bottom of the page margin has been added for logs compiled with page breaks. By default, this will be set to 0 for backward compatibility. Vertical Text can now be forced to display some amount of the text when the string is longer than the depth interval. This option was added to the LogDesign file when adding vertical text to the Log Body. Bug Fixes: The data editor now preserves multiple spaces entered within a cell while editing point data similar to a tab. The Unlocking code override works again. The inherited ancestor constructor was not being called. Borehole Construction patterns with a non-zero inner diameter now always plot the pattern. You can refer to the complete LogPlot revision list: https://www.rockware.com/rockworks/revisions/current_logplot_revisions.htm 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 bug fixes, improvements, and new features. The RockWorks Revision History includes complete lists, by date, of all changes in the program. New Features: Added the ability to copy “enabled” boreholes into another project understanding that the database structure would have to match for all the data to transfer. A warning message is displayed when an optional field in the target 'Location' table is missing. ESRI Shape Exports of Stratigraphic Fence diagrams now include the formation name as an attribute. This included reworking the appearance of the fence panels in the scene. Scales for RockPlot2D file in ReportWorks can now be specified with an engineering scale. Improvements: The Save settings in Peripherals now include user settings for each saved item as well as the layout for the pieces. Look for a new Add Margin button on the toolbar on the left side of 2D diagrams that adds a 5% margin to the edges around your diagram. This option was also added to the Utilities menu in RockPlot2D. Rewrote the Aquifer export. It now resembles the Stratigraphy export. ModOps | Grid | Export | RockWorks Datasheet - unused columns for Color, Thickness, Line Style were removed from the export. On editing a Playlist item as text: the text editor File | Exit and the Exit button behave the same. The File | Save behaves like a Save As and will now set the file extension to RWPlaylist with an option for txt. The File | Save As will still prompt to write back to the current Playlist (if modified). RockPlot2D Property dialogs are now displayed relative to the position of the mouse. Added the ability to copy “enabled” boreholes into another project understanding that the database structure would have to match for all the data to transfer. A warning message is displayed when an optional field in the target 'Location' table is missing. Bug Fixes: Grid silhouettes that are added to multiple parallel profiles will be plotted on the their individual profiles instead of projecting all of the grids onto the first diagram. Vertically exaggerated multi-profile diagrams are now displayed correctly. Previous versions would be plotted at a vertical exaggeration of 1.0 thereby requiring that the user manually specify the vertical exaggeration after the diagram was displayed. In the example shown below, the diagram containing four profiles is now initially plotted at the specified vertical exaggeration of 50X. The "Override Automatic Titles" option within the Parallel Profile menus (used by a variety of programs) now accepts user settings. The Load Layout option in the 2D Log Designer will now update the settings displayed in the dialog when you load a previously saved layout. The title height for RockPlot2D Color Legends is now adjusted when the Vertical Exaggeration is set from the main options to greater than one. The ESRI Stratigraphic Fence programs use the updated fence locations from the user specified table when the location tab is opened. 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.

A new version of RockWorks was uploaded to the RockWare website, with bug fixes, improvements, and new features. The RockWorks Revision History includes complete lists, by date, of all changes in the program. New Features: An ESRI Shape file containing polygons can now be turned into a RockWorks grid file. The Playlist output tabs have been revamped. Double clicking ona playlist output tab will detach the page into a separate dialogue that fills the main monitor. A new item titled "View This List As An HTML File" has been added to the base of the How-To "tree". Clicking on this item and selecting the Copy option will copy the URL to the Windows clipboard so that it can be sent to other who may not be able to access the RockWorks How-To option (e.g., RockWorks is not installed on their machine). The new program to add boreholes to the database interactively through RockPlot2D now adds the Elevation and Collar Elevation fields if the map contains a color contour layer. The Project Settings file and Playlists now reference I/P/T data names rather than index number. Improvements: The Automatic perimeter annotation dimensions are now based on the extents of the diagram, including text blocks. It is no longer possible to launch two or more instances of the How-To dialog. This prevents problems with multiple-clicks on the How-To button. Model tilting and warping control now better followw user commands and selections. A video-help button has been added to the 2D Striplog / Projection sub-menu. The Striplogs / Log Profile tab has been renamed to "Projection" within the 2D Striplog Profile, Section, and Projected-Section programs to be consistent with the re-design of the 2D Striplog menu. Note: Striplogs within profiles do not have a Projection tab because they are always plotted using the Normal Projection (i.e., the logs are projected into the panel as-is). The Stratigraphy Picker was displaying the location incorrectly when the Vertical Exaggeration was not equal to 1, now user can set VE to what they want to view. Bug Fixes: If a GeoTIFF is an a geographic coordinate system (Lat/Long), the program was not converting the Z values. It will now retrieve the units from the GeoTIFF and convert if needed. The Add New Borehole function in RockPlot2D now offers a dialog where the user can select a surface grid, fixed elevation or no elevation for the borehole elevation. Additionally a a Total Depth is added. The Shape Polygon to grid program now offers replacement options based on polygon order, highest vale or lowest value. A suite of new tools has been added to a new tab labeled "Options" within the Utilities / 3-D / Tubes program. These options include the ability to wrap images around the tubes. When exporting I-Data, P-Data, T-Data, I-Text and P-Text and sorting by "Order Field" was causing an error when using SQLServer as the database engine. This was due to differences in SQL dialects, it worked with SQLite but not SQLServer. It now works with both engines. Borehole Manager: View | Change Sorting - now shows the current sorting of the boreholes. When the Data Dictionary is missing and is copied in from the default, we update it for any optional fields found in the database tables. The borehole location map options now include an option that determines if stratigraphic information labels will be plotted adjacent to the borehole symbol or at the plan view downhole locations. All boreholes are now included when interpolating a polygon-clipped lithology model via the Lateral Extrusion algorithm. The RockPlot2D Color Legend using the Min-Mid-Max scheme requires an odd number of intervals. If the number of intervals is not odd then the program decreases the minimum value by the contour interval.

An updated version of LogPlot was loaded to the RockWare website and includes the following: New Features: Update to file LogPlot8.xsd - Added the definition for ColorTable entries and adjusted some other values. The LogPlot ldat8 files are the same format for LogPlot8 and LogPlot 2022. This definition file requires the blocks be in a specific order that LogPlot does not require. LogPlot also does not require multiple blocks for a given type to be together, instead the order of the blocks determine the order of the pages in the data editor. Therefore the xsd file may not validate a perfectly acceptable ldat8 file. The LogPlot8.xsd is installed with LogPlot in C:\ProgramData\RockWare\LogPlot folder. Improvements: When importing RockWork's types into the Keyword editor you can now choose between the new entry and the current entry when there is a duplicate. The Keyword editor will also prompt you to save when exiting the dialog. Importing keyword information from a RockWorks database to LogPlot will import the keyword correctly formatted. Users can now create template to enable and disable features in the LAS Import. LAS Import now allows limiting the decimal places for floating point values from the "Options" tab. If the "Limit Decimal Places" is checked, the importer will limit the decimal places, otherwise they will be imported as is. Previously some floating point values were being truncated. Improvement to the File | Save to RockWorks DB, Options window: The template, file name edit, now changes the file name to use the current folder and allows the browse function to accept a file name that does not exist. The Curve column can now be displayed with Symbols and Fill. Note: Use high luminosity colors to keep the background light. Better auto-populating when creating a Batch File; the LPT and PDF file names are filled-in based on the data file name. Bug Fixes: Logarithmic value grids will now plot correctly as long as the minimum value is 1 or less. Using the keyboard Page Up and Down will work even when the focus is on the View Options. You can also refer to the complete LogPlot revision list: https://www.rockware.com/rockworks/revisions/current_logplot_revisions.htm 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. LogPlot 2022 is a separate installation than LogPlot 8.

A new version of RockWorks2022 was uploaded to the RockWare website, with bug fixes, improvements, and new features. The RockWorks Revision History includes complete lists, by date, of all changes in the program. New Features: A program titled “Digitize Raster Log” has been added to the Graphics / Images list. This program is used to scan raster log images and extract the depth value information for a selected, colored curve. Note that each curve must have a unique color! The Borehole Operations / P-Data / Normalize program now includes options for truncating low and high outlier values before the normalization takes place. The Dip algorithm has bee added to the Stratigraphy Structure Grid and 3D Stratigraphic programs. A new set of option have been added to the Graphics / Images / Digitize Raster Log program. These options determine how the program will deal with sub-horizontal curve segments that intersect the scanlines ambiguously. The Location Map sub-menu that is used for sections, profiles, and fence diagrams now includes a Manual Offset option for manually specifying the offsets for the endpoint labels. The Automatic Offset option will always place the labels 90-degrees from the closest line segment which may produce maps in which the borehole locations (or other objects) overlap the labels. The ModOps / Solid / Logic / Solid -> Boolean Solid program now includes options for creating a Boolean solid based on a color model. The P-Data / Normalize program menu now includes an option to specify the number of decimal places within the output. Improvements: The Borehole Map program now uses Block Text which incorporates multiple lines of text with a perimeter and a leader line. The Playlist's "Project Units" command will now update the Coordinates and Borehole Manager tabs when run. The ModOps / Solid / Filters / Solid with Boolean Grid program has been renamed to Solid with Constraining Grid(s) and the program has been completely re-designed to filter based on an upper constraining surface, a lower constraining surface, and/or a Boolean “Cookie Cutter” grid. The ModOps / Solid / Statistics Report menu no longer asks for a conversion factor. Instead, the program now asks if the g-values represent percentages. If so, the programs asks if the g-values are expressed in terms of zero to 1.0 or zero to 100. The ModOps / Solid / Extract Grids / Solid to Grade-Thickness Grid program now saves the voxel columns with all null voxels as null nodes within the output grids. Stratigraphy data in Borehole Maps is now plotted at the correct location for deviated boreholes. When checking data integrity, the results can become too large overwhelming the control they are shown in. So now, when the results are too big, the are trimmed down displaying a only portion. The full results are still saved in the project folder as both CheckDataIntegrityResults.txt and CheckDataIntegrityResults.html. The Color Legend in RockPlot2D can now display a logarithmic scale in the Min/Max and Min/Mid/Max schemes. A Group column has been added to the Faults tab. The user can enable/disable faults based on the values entered into this column either by the group value or based on a pattern using wildcard characters. Faults displayed in 2D maps can now be clipped by either the grid or the project dimensions. The Borehole Operations / Striplogs / All Logs to PDF now creates a PDF in which the contents are alphabetically sorted by the Borehole Name field. The Utilities / Widgets / True Dip program has been redesigned to include a "Compute" button rather than updating the results whenever an input item is changed. This eliminates potential "lock-ups". The Borehole Operations / Striplogs / Lithology Picker and Stratigraphy Picker programs now include a checkbox option at the top-right of the dialog that allows the user to hide and show the datasheet. In RockPlot3D the view remains the same when appending another file. The Utilities / Widgets / GeoTrig / Height program can now compute the angle from the viewer to the object, the horizontal distance from the viewer to the object, and the line-of-sight distance from the viewer to the object. The Dip algorithm for Stratigraphy Layered Models will honor faults that already exist in the project. The Stratigraphy Picker now retains the values for Azimuth and Dip. The following changes were made to these table names in the interface (under Map/Model Tables): Point Map Range Table --> Vector Symbol Range Table 3D Point Map Range Table --> Color Point Map Range Table Bug Fixes: The I/P/T Data Column Layout Subdivision Intervals now allows the user to see values with more than 1 digit. Using Ctrl+C in the Utilities - Coords | Convert Single Point now copies all coordinates to the clipboard as text. The Borehole Operations / Stratigraphy / Grid Volumetrics program has an updated menu. Borehole Manager - File | Import | Text | Column-Based Imports now saves/honors the Negative Data Values Behavior settings. The ModOps / Solid / Create / Images -> Solid program now saves the output model using the specified file name. The previous version would incorrectly use the name that was specified within the "Use Existing Model" tab when the "Create New Model" option was selected. The scrollbox arrows within the raster log depth calibration screen works correctly to scroll up and down the log (ie: 10% increments). The Borehole Operations / Striplogs / Borehole Survey and Datasheet -> Borehole Survey programs no longer share the same symbol-plotting variables for the 2D map and the 2D profiles. As a consequence, the symbols within the 2D maps are now plotted properly. The Annotation option in RockPlot2D for Profiles, Logs and Sections has several fixes. The Faults options has been removed. The Other 2D Files now works correctly. The Annotate option now works correctly though the X Axis is based of the coordinates used in the file. Single logs always have an origin ox=1,500,000.

A new version of RockWorks2022 was uploaded to the RockWare website, with bug fixes, improvements, and new features. The RockWorks Revision History includes complete lists, by date, of all changes in the program. New Features: The Input Columns sub-menu that is shared by the programs within the HydroChem menu (Durov, Piper, Schoeller, Stiff, Stiff Map, Ion Balance, Total Dissolved Solids, and Ion Report) now includes options that determine if the input data is in mg/L (milligrams per liter) or mEq/L (milliequivalents per liter). A new option titled "Isolate Geobody that Includes Point Source" has been added to ModOps Solid menu. The solid display options used by many of the RockWorks programs has been re-designed such that IsoMeshes may now be plotted in combination with a voxel diagram. The IsoMesh options within RockWorks now provide greater control over which lines will be plotted and their spacing. A button titled "Close Sub-Menus" has been added to the Layout pull-down menu. The Graphics / Images / Vertical / Single program now includes a tab labeled “Margins”. If enabled, the endpoint coordinates are projected outward to accommodate additional annotation outside of the actual profile. Added 'Edit' menu item to allow user to combine two data types. This works for Stratigraphy, Lithology, Well Construction, Aquifers, Bitmaps, I-Data, I-Text, P-Data, P-Text and T-Data Types Tables. Improvements: The IsoSurface display options now includes an option to display the cap and cutaways as contoured or solid. The Input/Output Models, Cutoff Levels, and Remove Smaller Geobodies submenus within the ModOps / Solid / Filters / GeoBody Filter menu have been consolidated into a single tabbed page. The message that appears upon startup without an internet connection is more explanatory. If less than two boreholes are selected when using the Borehole Manager / Striplogs / Lithology Picker or Stratigraphy Picker, a more explanatory message will be displayed. A concentration option has been added to the Inverse Distance Weighting algorithm for gridding, It adds a non-linear weighting based on distance to the modelling to show a concentrated contouring around data points. Added menu item for Stratigraphy and Lithology Types Tables, the option to turn off all units/materials. 3D Polynomial Trend Modeling changed to use dynamic arrays so it is no longer limited to 2000 points, and all the points are added at once to eliminate re-dimensioning the array at each point. When importing RockWork data types into the Keyword editor you can now choose between the new entry and the current entry when there is a duplicate. The Keyword editor will also prompt you to save when exiting the dialog. Bug Fixes The Graphics >Animate >RockPlot 3D File now correctly generates a video when using the Advanced option. The QuickMap display of the project image was not using the World File or Manual position settings. If less than two boreholes are selected when using the Borehole Manager / Striplogs / Lithology Picker or Stratigraphy Picker, and the Continue button is selected, the program will no longer generate an Access Violation error message.

An updated version of LogPlot2022 was loaded to the RockWare website and includes the following: New Features: Finalized adjustments to Column Legend vertical text to allow centering when high dpi settings are used in exports. LogPlot Curves now wrap when the values go below the minimum value of the range. Improvements: Improved the centering of descending text in the Column Legend in both the LogDesigner and LogView. Users can now add a second line for Titles they wish to show in the Header Column. In the footer, users can display static text or a static note. These items of interest are chosen by using a macros menu in the set up dialog. An option to show scale for the log has now been added to the macro list. Bug Fixes: The Keyword Import from RockWorks now allows you to select the RockWorks project folder and import the keyword. Importing keyword information from a RockWorks database to LogPlot will import the keyword correctly formatted. When importing RockWork's types into the Keyword editor you can now choose between the new entry and the current entry when there is a duplicate.
