(077) 12/22/22/JPR - New Feature:
The Graphics / 2D Tools / Enclosing Polygon program now includes an option for saving the polygon to a database table. If the table already exists, the user will be presented with an option to abort overwriting the existing table unless the program is being executed from the Playlist in which case the contents of an existing table will be replaced - no questions asked.
(076) 12/22/22/JPR - Improvement:

(051) 11/28/22/JPR - Improvement:
The ModOps / Solid / Extract Grids / Solid to Grade-Thickness Grid program now saves the voxel columns with all null voxels as null nodes within the output grids. The previous version would save these nodes as zero.
(050) 11/23/22/JPR - Improvement:
When checking data integrity, the results can become too large overwhelming the control they are shown in. So now, when the results are too big, the are trimmed down displaying a only portion. The full results are still saved in the project folder as both CheckDataIntegrityResults.txt and CheckDataIntegrityResults.html.
(049) 11/22/22/JPR - Bug Fix:
The Borehole Operations / Stratigraphy / Grid Volumetrics program now displays the menu correctly.
(048) 11/19/22/JPR - New Feature:
A new set of options have been added to the Graphics / Images / Digitize Raster Log program. These options determine how the program will deal with sub-horizontal curve segments that intersect the scanlines ambiguously.
(047) 11/19/22/JPR - Bug Fix:
Sections will no longer unpredictably include a second set of perimeter annotation. An example of this sporadic behavior is shown below.
(046) 11/18/22/JPR - Cosmetic:
The ModOps / Solid / Statistics Report program no longer lists the entire path for the input model.
(045) 11/18/22/JPR - Improvement:
The ModOps / Solid / Statistics Report menu no longer asks for a conversion factor. Instead, the program now asks if the g-values represent percentages. If so, the programs asks if the g-values are expressed in terms of zero to 1.0 or zero to 100. In the example shown below a model that represented porosities ranging from zero to 1.0 (100%), the "Percentage-Based Material Volume" represents the total volume, in cubic project units (e.g., cubic feet) of available pore space within the model.
(044) 11/18/22/MIW - Improvement:
Single 2D Striplogs are now displayed with the wellbore centered at 0 on the X Axis.
(043) 11/17/22/JPR - Improvement:
The Automatic options within the Superface and Subface solid-modeling sub-menus no longer use the same settings that are defined within other grid-generating programs. Instead, the grids that are automatically created will use a "vanilla" inverse-distance-squared algorithm to generate the upper and/or lower confining surfaces. The reason for this change is to eliminate confusion caused by the various gridding settings not being accessible within these sub-menus. For example, if a trend-surface polynomial was used within another program that creates grids, the superface and subface grids would be generated as trend-surface polynomials. The Manual options provides more flexibility if the simple inverse-distance-squared interpolation is not suitable.
(042) 11/16/22/MIW - New Feature:
Added a Calibration utility to the Dimensions to Google Earth that display 3 corners of the project as red circles.
(041) 11/16/22/JPR - New Feature:
The Location Map sub-menu that is used for sections, profiles, and fence diagrams now includes a Manual Offset option for manually specifying the offsets for the endpoint labels. The Automatic Offset option will always place the labels 90-degrees from the closest line segment which may produce maps in which the borehole locations (or other objects) overlap the labels.
(040) 11/16/22/MIW - Bug Fix:
The Annotation option in RockPlot2D for Profiles, Logs and Sections has several fixes.
(039) 11/14/22/JPR - Improvement:
The Utilities / Widgets / GeoTrig / Height program can now compute the angle from the viewer to the object, the horizontal distance from the viewer to the object, and the line-of-sight distance from the viewer to the object. The previous version was limited to computing just the height of the object.
(038) 11/14/22/MIW - Improvement:
In RockPlot3D the view remains the same when appending another file.
(037) 11/11/22/JPR - Cosmetic:
A help button has been added to the Raster Log Digitize program.
(036) 11/11/22/JPR - Cosmetic:
The width of the Borehole ID column within the Borehole Operations / Striplog / Stratigraphy Picker datasheet has been doubled to accommodate longer borehole names.
(035) 11/11/22/JPR - Improvement:
The Borehole Operations / Striplogs / Lithology Picker and Stratigraphy Picker programs now include a checkbox option at the top-right of the dialog that allows the user to hide and show the datasheet. The provides a way to quickly gain more space for viewing and picking while still allowing the user to manually examine or edit the numeric values.
(034) 11/10/22/JPR - Improvement:
The Utilities / Widgets / True Dip program has been redesigned to include a "Compute" button rather than updating the results whenever an input item is changed. This eliminates potential "lock-ups".
(033) 11/10/22/JPR - Improvement:
The program now remembers the width of the borehole list panel for each project.
(032) 11/10/22/JPR - Improvement:
The Borehole Operations / Striplogs / All Logs to PDF now creates a PDF in which the contents are alphabetically sorted by the Borehole Name field.
(031) 11/05/22/JPR - Cosmetic:
Small aqua-colored buttons have been added to the I-Data .. P-Text options within the 2D log designer. These buttons will hopefully minimize some of the frustration and confusion involved with viewing/editing the options without checking or un-checking the associated component.
(030) 11/04/22/MIW - Improvement:
Faults displayed in 2D maps can now be clipped by either the grid or the project dimensions.
(029) 11/04/22/JPR - Bug Fix:
The Graphics / Animate / Grids -> 3D Surface Animation program now works correctly. The previous version would repeatedly show just the first frame.
Landslide Animation - Video Link
(028) 11/04/22/JPR - Cosmetic:
The ModOps / Grid / Filters / Boolean program now includes options for creating a Boolean grid based on a color grid.
(027) 11/04/22/JPR - Cosmetic:

(024) 11/04/22/JPR - Cosmetic:
The correct project units are now shown within the solid modeling Distance and Decluster menus as well as four other sub-menus if the project is based on a custom coordinate system.
(023) 11/04/22/JCJ - Bug Fix:
Borehole Manager - File | Import | Text | Column-Based Imports now saves/honors the Negative Data Values Behavior settings.
(022) 11/04/22/JPR - Bug Fix:
The ModOps / Solid / Create / Images -> Solid program now saves the output model using the specified file name. The previous version would incorrectly use the name that was specified within the "Use Existing Model" tab when the "Create New Model" option was selected.
(021) 11/03/22/JCJ - Improvement:
A Group column has been added to the Faults tab. The user can enable/disable faults based on the values entered into this column either by the group value or based on a pattern using wildcard characters.
(020) 11/03/22/JCJ - Cosmetic:
The Import drop-down menu on the Dimensions tab has been changed to use the same font as the other drop-down menus.
(019) 11/02/22/MIW - Bug Fix:
The Cut, Copy and Paste hot keys in RockPlot2D now work when docked in the Launch form.
(018) 10/31/22/JCJ - Improvement:
RockWorks can now automatically transfer the colors and values from a Color Point Map Range table to a Color Fill table. Similarly, it can convert a Color Fill table to a Color Point Map Range table (we assume a constant size of 1). The function is called from the table editor's File | Transfer colors Menu. This allows the user to create a legend based on a Color Point Map Range table.
(017) 10/28/22/MIW - Improvement:
The Color Legend in RockPlot2D can now display a logarithmic scale in the Min/Max and Min/Mid/Max schemes.
(016) 10/31/22/JPR - New Feature:
A program titled “Digitize Raster Log” has been added to the Graphics / Images list. This program is used to scan raster log images and extract the depth value information for a selected, colred curve. Note that each curve must have a unique color!
(015) 10/31/22/JPR - New Feature:
The P-Data / Normalize program menu now includes an option to specify the number of decimal places within the output.
(014) 10/30/22/JPR - Bug Fix:
The scrollbox arrows within the raster log depth calibration screen works correctly to scroll up and down the log (ie: 10% increments).
(013) 10/26/22/JCJ - Change:
The following changes were made to these table names in the interface (under Map/Model Tables):
(012) 10/18/22/JPR - Improvement:
The maximum width of entity columns within the 2D striplog designer has been increased from 10 to 100.
(011) 10/18/22/JPR - Improvement:
The Utilities / Coords / Convert Single Point program is no longer "modal" meaning that items may be copied from the dialog and copied to other dialogs (e.g., the Borehole Manager / Location / Collar Coordinates tab) without closing the conversion dialog.
(010) 10/14/22/JPR - Bug Fix:
The Borehole Operations / Striplogs / Borehole Survey and Datasheet -> Borehole Survey programs no longer share the same symbol-plotting variables for the 2D map and the 2D profiles. As a consequence, the symbols within the 2D maps are now plotted properly.
(009) 10/10/22/JPR - Cosmetic:
A blue question mark icon has been added to the RockPlot3D illumination dialog. When clicked, an explanatory diagram will be displayed. This diagram provides examples of the effects produced by a variety of illumination angle settings.
(008) 10/10/22/JPR - Improvement:
Updates have been made to the Playlist / Add / Project Units option.
(007) 10/10/22/MIW - Improvement:
Users can now create template to enable and disable features in the LAS Import.
(006) 09/28/22/MIW - Improvement:

(005) 09/22/22/JCJ - Improvement:
When importing RockWork's types into the Keyword editor you can now choose between the new entry and the current entry when there is a duplicate. The Keyword editor will also prompt you to save when exiting the dialog.
(004) 09/22/22/MIW - Improvement:
Borehole Bubble Maps can now plot all the values in a borehole, the highest or lowest value in a borehole, or the sum or average of all values in a borehole.
(003) 09/21/22/MIW - Improvement:
Added an option to use table based colors for the Borehole/Map Bubble display.
(002) 09/21/22/JCJ - Improvement:
SQL Statements in a Playlist will now accept the concatenation operator '||' in the SQL statement.
(001) 09/21/22/JCJ - Improvement:
Added menu item for copying the litho-types table contents to the strata-types table and vice-versa. This can be used for folks who enter a bunch of data only to find that they it would be better to treat the lithology as stratigraphy or vice-versa.
