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 button titled "Set to Project's Values" has been added to the Borehole Operations / Lithology / Volumetrics menu.  This button will copy the values for the current Project Dimensions to the Upper Elevation, Lower Elevation, and Interval.
• A button has been added to adjust the end point coordinates to match the value range.
• It is now possible to automatically set the elevation for the image within the Graphics / Images / Float program to the project minimum or maximum z-value.  These new options are also available within the 3D program that include an option for adding a floating image to the diagram.

• The Cage options which are used to add perimeter annotation to 3D diagrams now include an option to add a small north arrow to the diagram.

• A smoothing option has been added to the ModOps / Solid / Extract Grids / Solid → Thickness Grid.

• Several new options have been added to the Multivariate Lithology Map menu that is accessed via the Borehole Operations / Lithology pull-down menu.

• The Dimensions / Scan programs now include an option to add a buffer around the suggested project dimensions.

• The DEM (Digital Elevation Model) import program now includes options for specifying if the elevation data is stored in a South-to-North or West-to-East fashion. 

• Grids surface displayed in RockPlot3D can now include contours.

• Contour lines may now be added to 3D surface diagrams directly.

• Titles may now be added to 3D diagrams directly.

• A new option has been added to the 3D Log Designer / Lithologic Interval Labeling that can be used to limit the labeling to lithologies with specific g-values. 

 

Improvements:

• It is now possible to adjust the opacity of the background image within two-dimensional maps. 
• A "Select Properties" has been added to the RockPlot2D popup menu. It allows users to select from a number of items when there is more than one item under the cursor.
• Upon completion, the Playlist now scrolls to the first checked item within the list.  This makes it easier to test items within long playlists.
• When you select several Playlist items, you can enable/disable them all at once. The selected items can also be edited as text vs. editing the entire Playlist.
• The T-Data Time Graph program now has the option to specify the Date/Time format.
• The vertical height of the tabs within multi-page menus has been decreased from 40 to 30 pixels to minimize the amount of scrolling that is necessary when viewing menus within the Playlist.
• The ASCII DEM -> Grid program runs a bit faster when extracting portions of a DEM to a grid based on the Project Dimensions.

Bug Fixes:

• The Borehole Map no longer displays at maximum extent if no labels are plotted.
• Editing selected playlist items will now copy the items back to the same locations without jumping around.
• Borehole Manager - File | Export | P-Data, I-Data & T-Data | All Tracks, can be set to measure Depths from the Collar Elevation without an error.
• Programs within the Playlist that are unable to create 3D logs due to no data will no longer interrupt the processing with warning messages.  Instead, the warning message will be added to the Execution History listing.
• The Lithology Label Intervals / Center Text option within the 3D Log Designer now only posts labels on the logs.
