These files are used to display 6 images on the sides of a 3-dimensional cube in RockPlot3D. The program requires 13 columns of information: The cube title, the X,Y,Z coordinates for the cube centers, the width, depth, and height of the cubes, and the 6 image names. See Raster Formats for supported bitmap file types.
Example
Column Summary
- Title: Required. This will simply be used to label the image in RockPlot3D.
- X-Center, Y-Center: Required. These declare the X and Y location coordinates for the cube center. These can be in meters or feet, using any supported coordinate system. See Defining your Datasheet Coordinates for more information.
- Z-Center: Required. Defines the elevation coordinate for the cube center. Be sure to specify the units.
- Width, Depth, Height: Optional. You can define specific dimensions for each cube in the data file, or you can define constant dimensions for all cubes when you're creating your diagram. Be sure to specify the units.
- Image Base, Image Top, Image West, Image East, Image South, Image North: Required. The images to be displayed on the cube sides must be in one of the graphic formats listed above. They must reside in the current project folder, along with the rwDat file in which they are listed.
Sample files: ImageCubes_01.rwDat, ImageCubes_02.rwDat
