Importing LogPlot DAT Files - Import the Data

Step 6 - Import the Data

  1. When you have all of the import configuration setting established to your satisfaction, click the Finish button at the bottom of the window to proceed.

The import tool will read each requested LogPlot DAT file and it will extract the location, survey, lithology, histogram, curve, symbol, patterns, tadpole, bitmap data, and/or well construction data and record the data in the RockWorks database in the requested project folder.

It will also determine which material types in the defined LogPlot "keyword" table are referenced in the selected files, and it will record them in the RockWorks Lithology Types Table and Stratigraphy Types Table.

What next?

  1. Double-check that each borehole has location coordinates (Easting, Northing, and Elevation) and total depth, on the Location tab. 
     
  2. If you imported lithology data from LogPlot, you should review the keywords and patterns that were brought into the RockWorks "Lithology Types Table".  You should check the patterns and colors are to your liking, and you can specify which materials are to be included in the diagram legends.
     
  3. If LogPlot lithology data was imported into RockWorks as stratigraphy, you should review the formation names and patterns that were brought into the RockWorks "Stratigraphy Types Table."  You should check the patterns and colors are to your liking, and you can specify which materials are to be included in the diagram legends.
    There are other very important rules regarding the layout of the Stratigraphy Type Table and the entry of the stratigraphy data.  Please refer to the RockWorks documentation for details.
     
  4. If your log contained well construction information, you should review the construction material types that were brought into the RockWorks "Well Construction Types Table."
     
  5. Imported curve data, now listed in RockWorks P-Data tables, can be illustrated in 2D and 3D strip logs and log sections; and modeled as a solid and visualized as 2D vertical profiles, cross sections and plan maps; and 3D fence diagrams and isosurface or voxel models. 
     
  6. Imported text data, now listed in RockWorks P-Text or I-Text tables, can be displayed in 2D and 3D strip logs and log sections.
     
  7. Imported histogram or interval data, now listed in RockWorks I-Data or T-Data tabs, can be illustrated in 2D and 3D strip logs; and modeled as a solid and visualized as 2D vertical profiles, cross sections and plan maps; and 3D fence diagrams and isosurface or voxel models.
     
  8. Imported symbols and patterns can be illustrated in 2D and 3D strip logs and log sections.
     
  9. If you imported tadpole data to the RockWorks fractures tabs, you can display them as tadpoles in 2D logs, and as oriented discs in 3D logs.  You can also use the tools in the Fractures menu to create a solid model representing fracture proximity, and visualize this as 2D vertical profiles, cross sections and plan maps; and 3D fence diagrams and isosurface or voxel models.
     
  10. If you imported the tadpole data to the RockWorks vectors tabs, you can display them as tadpoles in your 2D logs, and as scaled, oriented arrows in 3D logs.
     
  11. Finally, bitmaps can be displayed in 2D and 3D logs and sections.
