Import a RockWorks16/17 Fault Table as a Vertical 3D Fault

RockWorks: Polyline - Vertical Fault

Faults | Import | Fault Table -> Vertical 3D Fault

This program creates a vertical 3D 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.

Step-by-Step Summary



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

    RockWorks will read the fault vertex coordinates and elevations and create a series of connected triangular panels representing the vertical panel. The triangle mesh will be stored in the Faults table 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 or solid model and applying faulting.
