A note about file syncing while working in Rockworks. When your projects are stored in programs like OneDrive or Dropbox, you may experience delays in saving from RockWorks or receive errors about the database being unavailable (unable to save). This is because both programs are trying to sync simultaneously. If you want to avoid this inconvenience, please pause the SYNC feature in the storage programs while working in RockWorks. Also, when using OneDrive with RockWorks, it is NOT recommended that the Documents folder be remapped to OneDrive.
(015) 06/10/25/JPR - Bug Fix:
Contour maps no longer sporadically omit the closing line segment within closed contours.
(014) 06/10/25/JCJ - Improvement:
RockPlot2D - Options added to save vertices of a polyline or polygon to a Datasheet file.
(013) 06/09/25/JCJ - Improvement:
For Grid-based models, the Hybrid Gridding Algorithm creates and uses a temporary grid. That grid now is assigned a temporary name to avoid conflicts with other output grids.
(012) 06/03/25/JCJ - Improvement:
The Project Coordinate Systems, List Search dialog, has been improved with options allowing the user to add, edit, or delete terms. You can also right click to modify your selection, or to clear all the terms. A Help button was also added. When the dialog is opened the Add/Edit search term button is focused.
(011) 05/31/25/JPR - New Feature:
It is now possible to "drag-and-drop" file names into the RockWorks menu dialogs that are used for specifying input and output files. For example, if you are looking at a RockWorks dialog that is asking for the name of a grid model and you have Windows File Explorer open, you can drag a file from File Explorer into the appropriate location within the RockWorks dialog box. This new capability applies to 1,438 menu locations.
(010) 05/27/25/JPR - Bug Fix:
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 includes these cells.
(009) 05/27/25/JPR - Improvement:
Border coordinate and label annotations no longer "jiggle" when creating animations of 2D maps.
(008) 05/20/25/JCJ - Bug Fix:
ReportWorks: Moving vertices of lines, arrows, polylines, polygons will no longer cause vertices to disappear or raise an Access Violation.
(007) 05/16/25/JCJ - Bug Fix:
Stratigraphy striplogs - Intervals in a log will be plotted if the log is partially above and below ground.
(006) 05/15/25/JCJ - Bug Fix:
ModOps | Volume | Ore Grid - The variables to do the polygon clipping and setting the polygon name, are now being passed correctly.
(005) 05/08/25/JPR - Improvement:
A "pseudocode" explanation showing how the program works has been added to the ModOps | Solid | Extract Grids | Solid -> Grids menu.
(004) 05/06/25/JPR - New Feature:
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 include options for defining how the Superface (top) of the formations will be defined.
When in doubt, stick with the Interpolated option.
(003) 04/21/25/JPR - Improvement:
RockWorks windows can adjust to the zoom feature on the Windows display set by the user. The proportions of each program window will remain the same. It's still possible that you will see size or resolution differences between different computer screens.
(002) 04/15/25/JPR - Bug Fix:
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.
(001) 04/05/25/JPR - Bug Fix:
The Lateral Blending algorithm no longer omits the interpolations within the upper portion of the model if the Warping option is enabled.
