We uploaded a new revision of RockWorks16 today, with the following changes: + RockWorks is now re-enabled if the backup fails. + The Datasheet / Import / Shape File program now displays status messages as the Shape file is being imported. + The AGL Editor (accessed from the RockPlot2D / File / Import / AGL program via the Edit/Create option) no longer generates an error when selected. + RockWorks will now gracefully shut down if a connection to an SQL server is lost. This eliminates the need to used the Task Manager to shut it down. + The RockPlot3D Isosurface Options menu now includes a button titled "Add + Hide Model". This new option will change the Draw Style for the model to Hidden thereby insuring that the new slice will be visible. + The RockPlot3D Solid Model Options menu now includes a button titled "Add + Set Style to Point". This new option insures that the new slice will be visible. + The StripLog / Projected Section menu now includes options for activating/de-activating the clipping. + The symbol that is used for showing the top of a borehole now plots correctly if the clipping is enabled when plotting 2D striplogs. + The calculated volume and mass for stratigraphy volumetrics that are based on grid models is now converted to the selected output units.

We uploaded a new revision of RockWorks16 today, with the following changes: + Fixed a bug introduced in yesterday's published build which rendered unrecognizable the PLSS Landgrid tables (stored in C:\ProgramData\RockWorks\Landgrid). (Note that these U.S. landgrid files are installed separately from the RockWorks program. If you have already downloaded these landgrid files, you don't need to do so again. You'll just need to reinstall a newer build of the RockWorks16 program itself.)

We don't typically post new builds on Fridays as we head into the weekend, but the 2015.1.29 build uploaded yesterday created DLL errors for a few users, so we feel compelled to post this fix.
