RockWorks16 2014.5.20

[Guest Molly]

We've uploaded a new build of RockWorks16 today, with the following changes:

RockWorks Professional (Level 5)

+ RockWorks can accommodate MDB project databases that lie outside the project folder.

RockWorks Borehole Modeling (Level 4) and higher

+ Polygon filters have been added to the lithology modeling options.

+ Polygon filters and upper/lower surface filters are applied during rather than after lithology modeling, making the process faster.

+ Grid surfaces with null values can be used to warp lithology models. (This example is warped with a faulted surface.)

RockWorks Logs & Sections (Level 3) and higher

+ Improved memory management for handling raster images in 2D striplogs

+ Improved LAS import options for assigning/mapping well name to the database

+ More transparency options for raster images in 2D striplogs

RockWorks Utilities (Level 2) and higher

+ The size of solid models that may be viewed within RockPlot3D without generating an out-of-memory error has been increased.

+ More options for smoothing solid (block) models: most-common-value in addition to averaging; tools for opting out "sacrosanct" nodes; more smoothing passes. These allow for effective grouping of fine lithology zones.

RockWorks EarthApps (Level 1) and higher

+ The scaling for RockPlot3D to Google Earth exports now adjust for dimension changes over large areas at different latitudes (i.e. x and y are scaled independently).
