RockWorks 2020.7.30

[Guest Molly]

A new version of RockWorks2020 was uploaded to the RockWare website yesterday, with many new features, improvements, and bug fixes.

 

New Features and Improvements

• RockWorks can now import 5 meter DEM's. Be aware that they create huge (>1.5M node) grids so plotting will be slow.
• The processing of 3D animations has been sped up by about 30%..
• Changed the memory display colors for 0-25% to white text on a red background.
• Dates will now be saved in US format MM/DD/YEAR (i.e. 7/22/2020) for Ini, Play list and command script files.
• Shape file import will now read the Shape file's Projection and Coordinate Reference System (prg file).
• Date Format and Date Separator in the Datasheet work with 'Date' Type columns and programs that use dates.

 

Bug Fixes

• Striplogs | 2D Striplog: Plot vertical with elevations for deviated holes now show correct elevations for the corresponding measured depth.
• Map Overlays - Prefix and Suffix prompts are wider, a consistent 100 pixels.
• Google Earth functions have been hidden on the Subsite dialog as they use the Project's values and not the Subsite's.
• Tweaked several 3D Log Design Designer Options to scroll better on a smaller screens.
• Draped images can now be displayed in RockPlot3D without error.
• The RockPlot3D export to DXF no longer has a limit on the number of entities.
• Declustering for Solid Models now more closely matches the user suggested spacing.

• The Solid and Grids Filter now handles nulls in the grids.
• Double clicking on a file in the WIndow's File Explorer now opens the file even if RockWorks is already running.
• The Grids To Stratigraphic layers program now runs.
• Playlists that modify the Datasheet no longer cause a "Cannot Focus a Disabled Window" error.
• Total Nodes and Grid Area are calculated and shown in Grid Statistics report.
• 2D Grid Map | Peripherals showing the North Arrow and not showing the pattern key adjusted for Grid math items.
