Entire RockWorks Revision History


(051) Bug Fix (06/23/17/MIW): The Utilities | Map | 3D Points program no longer generates a "Could not convert variant ..." error.


(050) Bug Fix (06/23/17/MIW): The Utilities | Hydrology | Flowlines program no longer generates a "Could not convert variant ..." error.


(049) Bug Fix (06/23/17/MIW): Draped images now show the correct colors within RockPlot3D.


(048) Bug Fixc (06/23/17/MIW): The State Plane Index map now properly lists Florida zone 903.


(047) Bug Fix (06/23/17/MIW): The Delete View option within RockPlot3D is now visible.


(046) New Feature (06/23/17/MIW): The Drape and Rectify programs can now drape an image over a selected portion of a grid.  Note: The selected rectangle must be within the grid.


(045) Bug Fix (06/23/17/MIW): Images are now plotted in the correct location when draping a RockPlot3D drawing with Peripheral Images.


(044) Improvement (06/19/17/MIW): Importing a Multi-Table text file into the Borehole Database no longer defaults to Local Meters if the units aren’t specified within the text file.  Instead, the program now defaults to the current project units if the units aren’t specified within the text file.


(043) Improvement (06/19/17/MIW): The Visible Menus options within the basic license now include the Borehole Manager Map and Strip Log menus.


(042) Improvement (06/19/17/MIW): The EZ-Section correlation panels now all use the same min/max values when computing the color scheme.


(041) Improvement (06/16/17/MIW): The borehole titles at the top of the new Stratigraphy and Lithology picker programs are now a bit smaller to accommodate boreholes that are close together.


(040) New Feature (06/16/17/MIW): Clicking on the docked panel within the new Stratigraphy and Lithology picker programs will now undock the panel. 


(039) New Feature (06/16/17/MIW): Clicking on the Close button within floating panel within the new Stratigraphy and Lithology picker programs will now reset the layout. 


(038) New Feature (06/16/17/MIW): A Reset button has been added to the Stratigraphy and Lithology picker programs to restore the original startup layout.


(037) Improvement (06/16/17/MIW): The New button within the Stratigraphy and Lithology picker programs no longer returns the user to the main menu.  Instead, the user may now select different boreholes and change other options and resume the process without restarting the process from the main menu.


(036) Bug Fix (06/14/17/MIW): Creating line or color contours with a faulted grid that contains null values will no longer cause the program to lock-up (infinite loop) when the null nodes correspond with the fault zone.


(035) New Feature (06/12/17/MIW): The Stratigraphy Picker and the Lithology Picker programs now include a horizontal strip at the top of the cross-section that shows the borehole titles.  This new feature solves a problem of scrolling down the logs and losing track of which logs are being displayed.  It also eliminates the need to include the log titles within the Striplog Designer and the large offsets that can occur between the log titles and the log body when using vertical exaggerations.


(034) New Feature (06/12/17/MIW): Uniform and Circular symbols within the symbol maps may now be color-coded based on a cold (purple) to hot (red) color scheme.


(033) New Feature (06/09/17/MIW): The three main work panels within the Stratigraphy Picker and the Lithology Picker are now “dockable”, meaning that they can be detached from the main form by dragging the stippled pattern within their title bars.  As a consequence, they can me moved to other screens, resized, etc.  When these sub-forms are dragged over the main form, small icons will appear to assist with the repositioning of the sub-forms within the main form.


(032) New Feature (06/07/17/MIW): The Stratigraphy and Lithology Picker programs are now non-modal, meaning that the user may now access the main RockWorks dialog while these programs are running.


(031) New Feature (06/05/17/MIW): The Zoom, Vertical Exaggeration, and Decimal Place options within the Stratigraphy and Lithology Picker programs now include spin buttons.


(030) Improvement (06/05/17/MIW): The Zoom, Vertical Exaggeration, and Decimal Place options within the Stratigraphy and Lithology Picker programs are now saved between sessions.


(029) Improvement (06/02/17/MIW): The new Color Legend option now works with I-Data, P-Data, and T-Data EZ-Section correlations.


(028) New Feature (06/02/17/MIW): T-Data can now be displayed within the EZ-Section correlations.


(027) New Features (05/26/17/JCJ): The Borehole Manager | Filter | Select option now allows setting Enabled based on Option Fields with no value set (compared to NULL).


(026) New Features (05/26/17/JCJ): It is now possible to choose Current, Enabled, or All when using the Borehole Manager | Edit | Adjust Total Depths program.


(025) Bug Fix (05/26/17/MIW): The colors within raster images in RockPlot3D are no longer reversed.


(019-024) New Features (05/28/17/JPR): The Lithology | Model | Include Volumetrics sub-menu now includes options for independently enabling/disabling the volume and mass computations.

·         (019): The Density Conversion Factors used to convert the lithology volumes to mass may now be included within the RockPlot3D data tree.

·         (020): The Lithology Volumes that appear within the RockPlot3D data tree may now be enabled or disabled.

·         (021): The Lithology Mass computations that appear within the RockPlot3D data tree may now be enabled or disabled.

·         (022): The G-Value for each lithotype within the RockPlot3D data tree is now labeled as such.

·         (023): The lithology statistics within the RockPlot3D data tree are now grouped as sub-items for each lithotype.


(018) Bug Fix (05/28/17/JPR): The RCL “Dimensions” command now properly supports the subsite name and enable/disable borehole settings.  Examples:

DIMENSIONS: Site-A

Set project dimensions to Site-A dimensions.

DIMENSIONS: Site-A True

Set project dimensions to Site-A dimensions, enable boreholes within Site-A boundaries, and disable boreholes outside Site-A boundaries.


(015-017) New Features (05/27/17/JPR):

·         (015) The warning message that appears when an attempt is made to plot a zero-length borehole now displays the name of the "offending" borehole. 

·         (016) The warning dialog now includes an option to disable the warnings for subsequent boreholes.

·         (017) The warning message is automatically added to the Execution History file regardless of the menu settings (i.e. the "Do not show..." checkbox) or selected option (i.e. Ignore or Halt).

·         Note: The warning can be re-enabled from the Preferences | General | Warnings menu.


(014) New Feature (05/25/17/JPR): Tonnes Per Cubic Foot has been added to the list of density conversion factor units within the LithoTypes and StrataTypes tables.


(013) Cosmetic (05/25/17/JPR): The Project Units pull-down menus no longer include extra blank lines at the end of each that create unnecessary scrolling to pick the desired units.


(012) New Feature (05/25/17/MIW): The Lithology | Closest-Point modeling algorithm now supports model tilting and warping.


(011) New Feature (05/23/17/JCJ): Two new options have been added to the Borehole Manager | Edit menu for saving and retrieving/restoring the enabled/disabled status of the boreholes.


(010) Bug Fix (05/23/17/MIW): Selecting the Section Location option no longer produces sporadic Access Violation errors on selected machines.


(009) Bug Fix (05/23/17/MIW): Selecting the Map Border Options no longer produces sporadic Access Violation errors on selected machines.


(008) Bug Fix (05/15/17/MIW): The G-Filter Replace options now work correctly.


(007) New Feature (05/05/17/MIW): Iso-Surface Contour options has been added to the Morph Model program.

<hr size=2 width="100%" align=center>

(006) Removal (05/05/17/MIW): The capability for setting the null value to anything other than the default null value (-1.0e27) has been removed from the IsoSurface-related menus.

<hr size=2 width="100%" align=center>

(005) Bug Fix (05/04/17/MIW): Elevations for inclined boreholes that angle upwards are now computed correctly.

<hr size=2 width="100%" align=center>

(004) Improvement (04/28/17/MIW): Lines within RockPlot3D are no longer anti-aliased.

<hr size=2 width="100%" align=center>

(003) Bug Fix (04/28/17/MIW): Very large scenes within RockPlot3D no longer cause raster images to draw incorrectly.

<hr size=2 width="100%" align=center>

(002) New Feature (04/14/17/MIW): A new option has been added to the RockPlot3D Isosurface rendering whereby the triangles that make up the isosurface "skin" can be color-contoured to represent the closest non-null g-value greater than the isosurface cutofff value.  This new capability is especially useful when showing models that have been truncated by grid filters (e.g. contaminant plumes moving through aquifers that are constrained/confined by aquitard surfaces).


(001) Bug Fix (04/05/17/MIW): The Striplogs | 2-Dimensional | Section program no longer generates an Access Violation error when correlations are enabled for I-Data or P-Data.
