(057) 06/23/23/JPR - Cosmetic:
The default file name ("LithoPhysics1.RwGrd") for the predictive model is now the same for the Create Predictive Model and Apply Predictive Model programs.
(056) 06/23/23/JPR - Cosmetic:
The Borehole Operations / P-Data / Apply Predictive Model program now displays the correct file name in the History list as the lithology for each borehole is consolidated.
(055) 06/23/23/JPR - Cosmetic:
The Borehole Operations / P-Data / Apply Predictive Model program no longer makes an annoying beep sound as each borehole is processed.
(054) 06/19/23/MIW - Improvement:

Added 2 special actions to the playlist: Enable All Datasheet Rows and Disable All Datasheet Rows.
(048) 06/07/23/JCJ - Bug Fix:
Interface based classes will only manage lifetime (reference counting) when obtained as an interface (stored in an interface variable). Zardoz was being stored in an object pointer instead of an interface pointer, hence was not being freed. I have changed this to an interface pointer and updated the code accordingly: Zardoz : ILogger; // changed from TZardoz
(047) 06/07/23/JCJ - Improvement:
Project images can now be saved for the full project and Subsites. The image can be increased or decreased in size to fit the dimensions for whichever item it is georeferenced for, so the image is tied to whichever Subsite is selected. This increases the version of the Data Dictionary to 40.
(046) 06/07/23/MIW - Improvement:
The solid modeling Directional Weighting now more accurately honors the search direction.
(045) 06/07/23/MIW - Bug Fix:

(036) 05/16/23/JPR - New Feature:
The Datasheet / Transfer / Strat -> Borehole Manager program now includes options for importing elevations or depths into the Borehole Manager database. The previous version would only import elevations. In addition, the program will now convert elevations to depths for inclined and deviated boreholes.
(035) 05/14/23/JPR - New Feature:
A program titled “Solid -> P-Data” has been added to the ModOps / Solid / Export sub-menu. This program will extract the g-values from a specified solid model into the corresponding P-Data intervals within one or more boreholes.

(033) 05/11/23/JPR - Bug Fix:
Plotting I-Data and P-Data within 3D striplogs as Cold -> Hot discs now works correctly with data that has a very small range (e.g., zero to 1.0). For example, the figure below is based on P-Data that ranges between zero and 1.0.
(032) 05/10/23/JPR - Bug Fix:
The ModOps / Solid / Create / ASCII XYZG -> Solid program now displays the proper menu options.
(031) 05/08/23/MIW - Bug Fix:

(030) 05/08/23/MIW - Bug Fix:
Exporting Lithology and Solid models files from RockPlot3D as Shape files now includes all Voxels including the voxels that would normally be hidden. Keep in mind that while RockWorks will create larger files there is a 2GB limit on the size of Shape files in most programs.
(029) 05/05/23/JPR - Improvement:
When manually specifying the cutoff values within the Solid Model Cutout menu, the program will now prompt for the Y-value after entering the X-value and pressing the tab key. The previous version would advance to the Z-value. In other words, the "tab order" has been fixed.
(028) 05/03/23/MIW - Bug Fix:
Lithology models are now embedded in RockPlot3D files.
(027) 05/01/23/MIW - Bug Fix:
Forward Slash ("/") characters in Lithology, Stratigraphy and Aquifer Tables are now being read correctly in RockPlot3D. Rw3D files will need to be recreated for to correct this issue.
(026) 05/01/23/MIW - Bug Fix:
The Lithology Solid Model Output Filter now disables units that fall outside of the filter range.
(025) 04/28/23/MIW - Bug Fix:
3D model volumetrics calculated by RockPlot3D no longer include cells assigned null values if the G-Value filter is disabled.
(024) 04/28/23/JCJ - Bug Fix - Licensing:
If a user has a floating license checked out and then tries to connect to the License Server, the licensing will indicate the user already has a license checked-out (as floating) and read that license from the local computer's disk. However, if the user's local floating license has become corrupted or otherwise invalid, the licensing falls back to try Trialware licensing. If the user then tries to connect to the server from the Network Licensing tab of the licensing dialog, the licensing will now warn the user the License is already checked out on loan. To rectify the problem the license must be manually "returned" from the "RockWare Network License Administrator" (run on the server) from the Tools | View User Status - Clear User button. The user can then click on the "connect" button to reestablish a normal network license.
(023) 04/28/23/JCJ - Improvement:
GeoTiff's specify the coordinate reference system usually with an EPSG code however, the GeoTiff may then specify different units for both horizontal and vertical values than the EPSG code specifies. RockWorks will now use any overridden units.
(022) 04/26/23/MIW - Improvement:
Annotation Scalebars for Maps, Sections, Profile Sections and Profiles can now be set to convert displayed values from meters to feet or feet to meters.
(021) 04/26/23/JPR - Improvement:
