( The Section, Profile, Projected Section, and Fence Options Menu )
Use the Options menu tools in the RockWorks cross-section, profile, projected section, and fence-picking window to adjust how the boreholes are displayed in the window.
- Replotting
- Automatic: If selected, the borehole locations and log traces will be redrawn each time the section trace is updated. This keeps the window current but can slow the program if many wells with detailed log traces need to be refreshed. Turning this item off eliminates the refreshing of the screen.
- Manual: This option will replot the section map display only if the Redraw button is clicked.
- Show Borehole Locations
- Label Boreholes: If checked, each borehole location will be labeled with its name. Deactivate this setting if the view is cluttered.
-
- Maximum Label Length: Use this setting to trim long borehole names to the last X characters.
- Log Traces: If activated, log traces will be displayed. It's helpful to leave this on if you are creating a projected log section, and the borings are deviated and section clipping is activated, as a visual cue to ensure portions of logs are included (or excluded) from the cross section.
- Show Base Symbol: Check this to include a square symbol at the end of the borehole trace line, indicating the borehole base.
- Display Project Image: Check this option if you have established a Project Image and want it to be displayed in the selection map.
- Project Image Options: Click this button to view/adjust the current Project image settings. (More info)
- Warn User if Endpoint(s) Are Outside Project Area: If checked, the program will warn you that any section, profile, projected section, or fence panels that extend past the current project dimensions have been truncated to the project boundaries. If left un-checked, the truncation will occur without offering you this warning.
- Panel Spacing: Click this tab - displayed for Fence Selection Maps only - to set up how the automated panel spacing is to be established.
- Automated Fence Panel Spacing Method:
- Fixed Number of Panels: Click in this radio button to create a specified NUMBER of fence panels in the available area. This is the easiest pre-set panel spacing option.
- Panels: Enter the number of panels to be drawn. If you enter "5", for example, the program will create 5 fence panels across the study area for the vertical, horizontal, and/or diagonal layout you choose.
- Distance-Based: Click in this radio button to create panels at a specified DISTANCE increment across the study area.
- Distance: Type in the desired distance between fence panels. This must be entered in your study area's map (X,Y) units. For example, if you enter "100", then the program will create fence panels at 100-unit (feet, meter, etc.) increments across the study area for the vertical, horizontal, and/or diagonal layout you choose.
- Tip: If you aren’t sure what distance to enter, you can click Cancel to close the Spacing Options window, and refer to the X and Y coordinate listing at the bottom of the Fence Selection Map window to determine your map units. As you move the mouse pointer around the borehole locations, note that the coordinates are updated.
