RockWorks16 2014.9.25

[Guest Molly]

We uploaded a new revision of RockWorks16 today, with the following changes:

Level 4+

+ Color Modeling works properly with declustering and faulting.

+ Volume and mass calculations are labeled with the project's output units.

+ Density units can be defined in the Lithology and Stratigraphy Types tables.

Level 3+

+ Stratigraphy and Lithology Types tables can be exported to the Utilities datasheet.

Level 2+

+ Block model Grade Statistics by Level now allows you to specify density units.

+ Grid and solid models can be created from comma-delimited text files.

+ Run analyses on existing lithology and stratigraphy models (Solid | Statistics menu)

+ A new Zones program performs the Solid -> Grid functionality for multiple top-base grid regions. It also creates Shapefile output.

+ New Multiple Polygons -> Grid program assigns grid node values within multiple polygons.

+ Improvements to the Movement Analysis and Directional Analysis calculation of dip angle.

+ Improvements to the warping and tilting features within the block modeling programs

+ The coordinate conversions now work correctly if the coordinate system is the same but the units are different (e.g. feet to meters)

+ The PicShow AVI Export now allows the user to set the frame-rate (in frames per second) within the output file

RockPlot2D

+ Cross sections with vertical exaggeration > 1 are no longer clipped when exported to a raster format.

+ Color legends with negative value ranges no longer show a blank color block

RockPlot3D

+ Blocks and surfaces exported from RockPlot3D to Google Earth are now more accurately registered.

+ Isosurfaces exported from RockPlot3D to Google Earth are no longer flattened.

+ Items with opacity less than 100% are now exported correctly from RockPlot3D to Google Earth.
