Step-by-Step Summary

Menu Options

• Spatial Filter: Insert a check in this box at the top of the program window to activate a data filter based on spatial coordinates. Click this button to enter the filter settings. Click the Return to Previous Menu button when you are done entering the filter settings. (More info)
• 
  
• Stratigraphic Unit: Click on this tab to select the name of the formation, listed in the current Stratigraphy Types Table, to be exported.
• 
  
• Data type: Click this tab to select the desired Z value in the exported file (observed depth, computed upper elevation, lower elevation, or observed thickness).
• 
  
• Output Options
  Click this tab to define the output format(s) for the exported data. You can select multiple options.
  • RwDat (RockWorks): Check this option for the stratigraphy data to be exported to a RockWorks datasheet (.RwDat) format. (More info)
  • CSV (Excel): Check this option for the stratigraphy data to be exported to a CSV file format for use in Excel. (More info)
  • TXT (Notepad): Check this option for the stratigraphy data to be exported to a text (.txt) format. (More info)
  • RTF (Word): Check this option for the stratigraphy data to be exported to an RTF file format for use in Word. (More info)
  • 
    
  • SHP (ArcMap): Check this option for the stratigraphy data to be exported to a Shapefile format. Click on this tab to set up the Shapefile options.
    • Output (Shape) File:: Click to the right to type in a name to assign the Shapefile to be created. The exporter will also create the accompanying .SHX and .DBF files.
    • Null Value: If any of your borehole stratigraphy data are missing the depth to top or base for the interval, RockWorks will store a null value for that depth. Use this prompt to define the null value to be used, such as "-999".
    • Output Type
      • Polylines: Choose this output style if you wish to see the data as polylines.
      • Points (midpoint): Choose this output style to see the data as points. Compare the images below; the left image represents data displayed as polylines in ArcScene. The right image represents midpoints (on top of polylines for reference).

Step-by-Step Summary

1. Access the RockWorks Borehole Manager program tab.
2. Be sure there is stratigraphy data listed for one or more boreholes.
3. Be sure the boreholes whose data is to be exported are enabled (shown with check-marks in the Borehole Manager list).
4. Select the File | Export | Stratigraphy menu option.
5. Enter the requested export settings, described above.
6. Click the Continue button to proceed.

The program will read the well locations, downhole orientation, and stratigraphy intervals, and export the requested data fields to the requested format(s).
