Features

Mapping

Mapping

● Raster symbols were added to many programs, including borehole location maps, point maps, statistical diagrams, and RockPlot3D.
● Contour map color schemes and color legend options, including a greatly improved color pallet creator, are available.
● Dynamic filled scalebars are available for RockPlot2D maps.
● Create a total depth grid and contour map through the Borehole Manager based on the base elevation of boreholes.
● Spatial filtering for Borehole Manager maps plotting downhole stratigraphic, water level, and I/T-Data labels have been added.
Logs, Sections, and Profiles

Logs, Sections, and Profiles

● Vertical scalebars can now plot labels showing depth below a datum and with different settings for the left and right axes.
● Well construction strip logs are drawn based on the order defined in the well construction type table, making it easier to display overlapping well components.
● Contoured sections and profiles are drawn much faster.
● Water levels in 2D and 3D strip logs can be colored based on the aquifer types table.
Borehole Manager Database

Borehole Manager Database

● Backup project tools are available.
● The adjusted borehole elevations based on a grid feature now provide options for updating the collar elevation field.
● The Excel, text, and CSV data Import options for water levels and I/P/T Data more easily append data from new sampling events to the database.
● Import point Shapefiles into the Borehole Manager database to create new boreholes
Stratigraphy/Lithology

Stratigraphy/Lithology

● Use contact data defined in a RwDat file during stratigraphy model creation, such as surface contact information (dip angle and direction), geophysical data, seismic data, etc.
● The Stratigraphy Picker has the option to snap to existing lithology contacts.
● Lithology isopach creation, now offering both grid-based and voxel-based tools
I/P/T Data

I/P/T Data

● I-Data length composite weighting program, including options to limit the calculations to data between two gridded surfaces and to specify a background grade for missing intervals.
●Time graph tools, including the additional spatial and time filters.

Grid Models

  • Pinchout Filter for limiting the extent of stratigraphic units based on a minimum thickness or polygon file. 

  • GeoTIFF import tools to convert DEMs to RwGrd files. 

  • Redesigned Grid Math interface with new equation options and multi-step calculations. 

  • Grid data extraction tool extracts data from an RwGrd file based on a list of XY points stored in the datasheet. 

  • Better null replacement value options are available during grid creation.

Solid Models

  • The Volume ‘Extract Via Surface Extraction’ program has been redesigned and improved to calculate better stripping ratios for floating cones. 
  • Resample (fine-to-coarse) program that converts high-resolution solids to low-resolution solids based on chosen options (high, low, average, etc.). 
  • Fade with depth program decreases model values (i.e., concentrations) below a specific elevation or user-defined surface. 
  • Redesigned solid math Interface with new equation options and multi-step calculations. 
  • Solid data extraction tools extract data along a borehole trace or based on a list of XYZ points stored in the datasheet. 
  • Better null replacement value and smoothing order options are available during solid model creation.

Features

  • 2D Faults for faster modeling and visualization of vertical faults. 
  • Display of contours in faulted sections, profiles, and maps. 
  • Fault import options, including triangulated surfaces and the conversion of contours to a fault surface
  •  Lockable layers for easier editing of complex diagrams.

  • Raster and PDF exports.

  • Shapefile Import that now imports/labels contour lines based on elevations for 3D polylines or attributes.

  • Copy and paste functionality allows for easy creation of duplicates of isosurfaces or other items. 
  • RockPlot3D stores and uses relative file paths for images, making it easier to share projects or provide RW3D deliverables. 
  • Grid and solid Metadata is stored and accessed through RockPlot3D. 
  • OBJ File export for use with Sketchfab, 3DPDFs, and other graphics tools. 
  • Option to offset items or groups of items in the X, Y, or Z directions.
