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:

• It is now possible to "drag-and-drop" file names into the RockWorks menu dialogs that are used for specifying input and output files.
• The Interpolate Surfaces | Modeling Sequence sub-menu within the programs that create layered stratigraphic models (i.e., Stratigraphy | Layered Model, Solid Model, Profile, Section, Projected Section, and Fence) now includes options for defining how the Superface (top) of the formations will be defined.
• RockPlot2D - Options added to save the vertices of a polyline or polygon to a Datasheet file.

 

Improvements:

• A "pseudocode" explanation showing how the program works has been added to the ModOps | Solid | Extract Grids | Solid -> Grids menu.
• Border coordinate and label annotations no longer "jiggle" when creating animations of 2D maps.
• The Project Coordinate Systems, List Search dialog, has been improved with options allowing the user to add, edit, or delete terms. 
• For Grid-based models, the Hybrid Gridding Algorithm creates and uses a temporary grid. That grid is now assigned a temporary name to avoid conflicts with other output grids.

Bug Fixes:

• The Lateral Blending algorithm no longer omits the interpolations within the upper portion of the model if the Warping option is enabled.
• The Playlist | Add Set Project Dimensions option now adds the "Set Project Dimensions" title to the Playlist. The previous version would only add the dimensions icon.
• ModOps | Volume | Ore Grid - The variables to do the polygon clipping and setting the polygon name are now being passed correctly.
• Stratigraphy striplogs - Intervals in a log will be plotted if the log is partially above and below ground.
• ReportWorks: Moving the vertices of lines, arrows, polylines, and polygons will no longer cause vertices to disappear or raise an Access Violation.
• The Polygon Clipping option within the ModOps | Volume | Ore Grid program now sets the cell node values outside the polygon to a null (-1.0e27) value rather than zero. Consequently, the statistics (e.g., mean) that are listed within the output report do not include these cells.
• Contour maps no longer sporadically omit the closing line segment within closed contours.
