Entire RockWorks Revision History



(040) Bug Fix (03/29/18/JCJ): The Text->Excel import now correctly maps the Location table's fields when using a template.


(039) Cosmetic (03/29/18/JCJ): The PLSS coordinate conversion no longer leaves the progress dialog open.


(038) Bug Fix (03/26/18/MIW): Points and lines digitized within RockPlot3D can now be exported to the database as new boreholes similar to item #36 described below.


(037) Enhancement (03/23/18/MIW): The RockPlot2D files used for the Polygon Filter can now be stored within a coordinate system that is not the same as the Project Output coordinates.


(036) New Feature (03/23/18/MIW): Points, lines, polylines, and polygons digitized within the RockPlot2D program can now be exported to the project database as new boreholes. The user can specify either a fixed collar elevation or use a surface grid to assign KB elevations to the new boreholes. These new boreholes are automatically prefixed with a "PG" designation.


(035) Bug Fix (03/21/18/JCJ): The Google Earth Dimensions program will now display the project in the correct location when the project coordinates are feet.


(034) Improvement (03/21/18/MIW): The Stratigraphy Picker now shows the entire cross section when units have depths below the TD and/or above the KB.


(033) Improvement (03/21/18/MIW): The QuickMap screen now shows the border when the input and output units don't match.


(032) Improvement (03/21/18/MIW): The QuickMap screen now shows the selected borehole when the input and output units don't match.


(031) Bug Fix (03/16/18/MIW): The Plot Faults option for Stratigraphic Models is no longer sporadically ignored.


(030) Bug Fix (03/16/18/MIW): The RockPlot3D Surface filter slider-bars now update the minimum/maximum values correctly.


(029) Bug Fix (03/16/18/MIW): The Stratigraphic 3D Isopach program no creates a diagram.


(028) Improvement (03/15/18/MIW): The 3D Fault Ribbons no longer appear "bumpy" when plotted at a high-resolution.


(027) Cosmetic (03/14/18/MIW): The Stratigraphic Fence program now lists just the 3D Fault options.


(026) Enhancement (03/14/18/MIW): The Lithology Picker now allows negative depths.


(025) Enhancement (03/14/18/MIW): The Stratigraphy Picker now allows negative depths.


(024) Enhancement (03/14/18/MIW): Special error-trapping has been added to the Grids->Stratigraphy Model program to make sure that all of the grids have the same dimensions.


(023) New Feature (03/14/18/MIW): An option has been added to I-Data, T-Data and P-Data to save the points used for modeling (filtered, resampled and added) to an RwDat file. This can be used in conjunction with the new stand alone High Fidelity filter (see below) or the Residuals program.


(022) New Feature (03/14/18/MIW): A stand-alone High Fidelity Filter has been added to the Utilities/Solid/Filter.


(021) New Feature (03/14/18/MIW): The Solid Modeling Superface and Subface Filters now have the option to use a user-specified null value.


(020) New Feature (03/14/18/MIW): The Solid/Modeling Polygon Filter now accepts a RockPlot2D file containing 1 or more polygons.


(019) Bug Fix (03/09/18/MIW): The Stratigraphy Picker now draws units with depths below 999 units.


(018) Bug Fix (03/07/18/MIW): World Outline transparency settings are now stored and loaded correctly.


(017) New Feature (03/01/18/MIW): Polygon filtering during solid modeling can now use multiple polygons from a RockPlot2D file. These features can be used to create enhanced contamination plumes.


(016) Bug Fix (03/05/18/JCJ): Fields may now be deleted from the borehole database.


(015) Enhancement (03/05/18/MIW): Tadpoles within 2D striplog fracture and vector columns can now use colors from a lookup-table.


(014) New Feature (03/01/18/MIW): A new solid model polygon filter has been added. This program uses polygons that have been interactively drawn within the RockPlot2D program. This new filter also includes the ability to use multiple polygons.

(013) New Feature (02/16/18/MIW): Two new stock animations have been added to the RockPlot3D Video export.


(012) Bug Fix (02/15/18/MIW): I-Text within 2D striplogs is now correctly centered if the font angle is not Horizontal, Vertical or Diagonal.


(011) Improvements (02/14/18/JCJ): The following improvements have been made to using "local" help files (i.e. help files on your machine versus files hosted on the RockWare cloud):

  • (000) The help was not shown correctly if the computer did not have an Internet connection.

  • (000) The Test function in the Preferences menu was not using the correct path to the files. Also the Test function will extract the files immediately in order to test them.

  • (000) The help Zip file contains folder references, so the path to the help files in the preferences excludes "WebHelp" and refers to folder where WebHelp is to be installed and used.

  • (000) When a new Help Zip file is included in the installation and the user is using the local help, the zip file extraction is executed earlier in the RockWorks start up process to avoid file sharing problems. This does add some extra time for RockWorks to start when a new zip file is included.


(010) Improvements (02/14/17/JCJ): The following improvements have been made to the Import and Export of Multiple tables:

  • (000) Import and Export of Multiple tables were not consistent in the use of computer settings. RockWorks will now save and restore backups internally using US format settings. This allows sharing the archive files between computers with different format settings. Users manually creating or adding to the file will need to be aware of this specially for floating point numbers and dates.

  • (000) When a project table has a single quotation mark (') (as in Section A-A') the import will now import it.  Some Unicode characters in field names caused the import to not find query parameters, causing the import to fail.


(009) Bug Fix (02/14/18/MIW): The background grid in Reportworks is now drawn correctly when the units are set to centimeters.


(008) Improvement (02/14/18/MIW): The background grid in Reportworks is now set to 2 centimeters when set for centimeters.


(007) Improvement (02/14/18/MIW): The Reportworks coordinates for the Line and Rectangle dialog are now shown and can be modified by the user.


(006) Improvement (02/14/18/MIW): The Reportworks program now includes Line dialog buttons to make the lines Vertical or Horizontal.


(005) Bug Fix (02/05/18/MIW): The Block Model Grade Statistics by Level program now calculates volumes by using the Data Input units rather than units of the solid model.


(004) Bug Fix (02/02/18/MIW): The 2D Striplog "Zero Thickness Expand" thickness value is now saved.


(003) Bug Fix (02/01/18/MIW): The Utilities / Survey / XYZ --> Optimum Path / Plot 3D Path program now outputs a diagram.


(002) Bug Fix (02/01/18/MIW): Imported Surfer Binary grids now calculate the Y Spacing correctly.


(001) New Feature (01/08/18/MIW): Metadata in the form of RCL commands are now automatically added to Grids and Solids This MetaData may be extracted by using either a right click popup menu item in the Project Manager or through the Grid | Statistics | Metadata or Solid | Statistics | Metadata menus. Metadata can be extracted either as an RCL file or as a Report.  This metadata includes information about the coordinate system (e.g. UTM) and units (e.g. meters or feet).

Note:

  • You will have to create new grids and solids to have metadata generated.

  • Programs that modify models and grids (e.g. filters, math, etc.) will not copy the metadata from the source files.
