Import a RockWorks16/17 3D Fault File

This program converts a previously created RwFlt file to a RockWorks2020 Fault. The fault is stored in the project Fault table.

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

Fault Triangles Input File: Click here to browse for the name of the RwFlt file created in RockWorks16 or RockWorks17.
Attributes: Use these settings to establish general fault and display settings. These will be stored with the fault in the database and can be accessed/edited using the Edit Fault button in the Faults tab.
- Fault Name: Enter the name to assign to the fault, to distinguish it from other faults. This is displayed in the Name column in the Faults table, and can be displayed as labels on the fault polylines.
- G-Value: Assign a G-Value to the fault. This is assigned to model nodes that intersect the fault triangles.
- Comment: Use this optional field to list any descriptive comments for the fault, for your reference only.
- Line Style: Choose a line color and style with which to represent the fault in 2D maps and sections, and as a polyline in 3D.
- Fill Color: Assign a Fill Color for the fault panels when displayed in 3D.
- Add Symbols: Check this item to have the option of including symbols along the fault polylines in 2D maps.
  - Type of Symbol: Choose a symbol type from the drop-down list. If you choose a Custom type, click to the right to select the custom symbol design.
  - Symbol Line Thickness: Click the up/down arrows to assign a thickness for the lines which will make up the fault symbols. "1" will generate thin lines, "3" relatively thick lines.

Access the Faults program tab.
Select the Faults | Import | RockWorks 16 Fault File -> Faults menu option.
Enter the requested menu settings, described above.
Click the Continue button to proceed.
RockWorks will read the triangle coordinates from the RwFlt file and store the triangle mesh in the Faults table in the RW20 project database.
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.
