Import a RockWorks16/17 Fault Table as a 2D Fault

RockWorks: Polyline - Vertical Fault

Faults | Import | Fault Table -> 2D Fault

This program creates a 2D fault based on a list of XY points in a RockWorks16/17 Fault table. The resulting fault is stored in the RockWorks2020 Fault table.

! This will apply only to projects originally created in RockWorks17 or RockWorks16.

! The number of faults you can maintain in your project is determined by the feature level of the software:

  1. Access the Faults program tab.
  2. Select the Faults | Import | Fault Table -> 2D Fault menu option.
  3. Enter the requested menu settings, described above.
  4. Click the Continue button to proceed.

    RockWorks will read the vertex coordinates for the polyline(s) in the RockWork16/17 Fault table, update the format to RockWorks2020, and store the coordinates as a 2D fault in the Faults tab in the project database.

  5. You can now use this fault, along with other enabled faults in the Fault table, when creating a surface model and applying faulting.
