  1. I am trying to import a P-Data table into Rockworks and the data is not being uploaded in to the project. I've tried using the bulk import as well as the import single table method. In the p-data types table, all the column names are being recognized from the import table, but not all the min value and max value records are being populated. The units column is blank as well. Also, when I scroll through the borehole data in the borehole manager with the p-data button selected, none of the boreholes have data. I've imported P-Data into Rockworks before with no issues. Not sure what's wrong this time. I've attached the table I'm trying to use for the import. Any advice would be much appreciated. I am using Rockworks v.17 Revision 2017.6.1. Thank you P-Data.xlsx
  2. P-Data not importing correctly

    I got the table to import using the Multiple Tables method and there are many more values showing up now. Is there a way to show the values with non-numerical ("J")? I need to make a cross section showing the borehole logs, stratigraphy, and the P-Data values, including those with text ("J" flags). Is this possible or do I have to enter them into the cross-section manually as text. Is the only way to show p-data in the form of curves alongside the well construction symbology in the section? I need to show actual numbers next to the correct depth along the borehole. I uploaded my project to https://www.rockware.com/upload/ Thank you
  3. I am getting this message when I try to import a stratigraphy table into rockworks. Attached is my stratigraphy table (excel file). I've imported stratigraphy tables into rockworks before with no issues. Not sure why I'm getting this message. Please advise. Thank you Stratigraphy_GOSB_export.xlsx
  4. I tried importing the table using the bulk import instead of the single table import and everything came in just fine. Thank you for helping.
  5. Mass and Volume Calculations

    What is the best utility to use to calculate mass and volume of contaminant plumes (i.e. i-data, p-data)? Also, how accurate is this calculation / modeling method within Rockworks?
  6. Is there a way to smooth the blending when appending an aquifer Rw3D file to a Stratigraphy Rw3D file? When I append these two models together, it looks very splotchy. See attached image for reference. Thanks
  7. I am trying to use some water level data to build an aquifer model. Since it is considered an unconfined aquifer, I am using water levels taken from monitoring wells. However, I only have the depth values for the top of the surface and it appears that the aquifer model tool in Rockworks requires a bottom depth as well. I would like to make the aquifer extend down to the top of a surface that represents a confining unit. I have a grid for the confining unit surface, but I don't know how to make the aquifer unit extend to reach the confining surface. How do I go about doing this?
  8. Using the "Utilities | Grid | Statistics | Residuals menu option" method works. I just added the depths to the depth2 column in my Aquifer table and re-imported the table into Rockworks. Thanks so much for your help.
  9. I am attempting to model Silver Chloride Injections at defined intervals in several wells. I would like to know if it is possible to model the injection volumes using cylinders in the 3D striplogs menu, but have the cylinder sizes be proportional to the volume of the injection at each interval. Assuming the porosity is 20%, the distance from the borehole (i.e radius of the cylinder) will range between 6 and 13 feet for most injection intervals. I am able to model the injections, with various sizes of discs per interval, but is there a way to adjust the radius to be roughly within these limits? This may not be possible, but before I proceed I would like to know for sure. Also, I noticed that some intervals that are supposed to have values (per the I-Data table), but are showing up with no disc around them, which makes them look like there is no value.
  10. In this case I can't do that, because the confining surface picks come from CPT borehole data, and the water level data comes from monitoring wells.
  11. I recently made some changes to some records in the Stratigraphy table, but when I go to import the new table, the records are not being updated in the borehole manager. I've tried the "Replace Existing Record" and the "Update Existing Record" options in the Excel Import Wizard. I've done this process several times in the past without any issues. Not sure what's going wrong. I've uploaded my zipped up project to the Rockware uploads portal. Thanks for your help.
  12. Issue Importing updated Stratigraphy Table

    Sorting the data table fixed the issue. Thank you for your help.
  13. Issue Importing updated Stratigraphy Table

    Excel table has been sent to [email protected] Thank you for your help
  14. I created a stratigraphic unit that shows everything above 240 ft msl. However, in the model there is a flat surface that represents the 240 msl cutoff. I only want to see the areas above the 240 msl mark and not the flat surface. I've tried using the isopach tool, but doesn't produce the desired results. Attached is image of the surface
  15. I noticed that there is an issue with the rendering freezing if a 3-D model is zoomed into too far. Sometimes, after several minutes, the rendering process will continue on it's own. Other times the software must be restarted in order for the issue to be resolved. I am just wondering if this is a common issue that other people are having or have had? If so, is there a setting that can be changed with the rendering speeds?
  16. Is it safe to change the name of the Rockworks project file after the project has been created? I have finish my project and would like to change the name, but don't want to risk breaking anything with the SQLite back-end of Rockworks 17.
  17. For some reason there are duplicates of each log plotting in the cross section I created. It's not clear what setting needs to be adjusted to fix this. See image attached to post.
  18. I want to see the well construction info as well as the stratigraphy. Is there another way to plot the logs showing their material without checking the Well Construction in the 2D Striplog designer?
  19. Is there a way to change the text size of the legend items in cross section diagram? I can change the size of the legend title, just not for the legend item names.
  20. System-generated .RwGrd files

    I am looking through all my grid files in rockworks and noticed that for each stratigraphic surface there are 3 .RwGrd files. I know what the _top and _base files are, but I'm curious what the other .RwGrd file is for each surface? The dates for this grid file is different than the dates for the top and base grids. What process created these grid files?
  21. Is there a way to truncate surface features so that they match the project dimensions? I imported some GIS shapefiles and exported them to Rockplot 3D files so that they can overlaid on the 3D model, but they seem to be hanging over the edges of the rest of the model.
  22. Onlap not working in 3D model

    I am trying to create a surface that lies between the top (ground) surface and a surface below the ground. In other words, the surface I'm trying to model is the 2nd from the top of a total of 3 layers. I want to layer's top to be the base of the ground surface and the bottom of the layer needs to be the same as the top of the underlying layer. I am able to match the layer's top to match the ground topography by using the "Constrain" tool. However, I the layer is bleeding through the layer beneath it and the "on-lap" tool doesn't seems to not be working correctly. Is there another way to create a layer that is sandwiched exactly between the two layers above and below it? I've attached project files for reference. I want the "Upland Unit" layer to be perfectly sandwiched between the "Tobacco Road" layer and the "Surface_lildar4_5m" layer. Any help is greatly appreciated.
  23. Is it possible to use Rockworks v.16 to view a Rockplot 3D file that was created using Rockworks v.17? I want to share a rw3D file only, not including the data, to a user that only has v. 16 of the software. Is this possible?
  24. I created a Stratigraphy model and for some reason my legend colors do not match the colors of the Stratigraphic layers in the model. The colors of the model match the Stratigraphy types table, but the colors of the legend are not the same. How do I change the colors in the legend to match those in the Stratigraphic types table?
  25. Stratigraphic model options

    Is there a way to go back and see all the modeling options settings that were used to create a stratigraphic model after that model has been saved as Rw3D file?
