Convert Triangles to a 3D Fault
Faults | Import | Triangles -> 3D Fault

This program creates a 3D fault based on XYZ triangle data stored in the RockWorks Datasheet. 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:

Menu Options
Step-by-Step Summary



  1. Access the RockWorks Datasheet program tab.
  2. Create a new datasheet and enter/import your triangle XYZ coordinates into the datasheet.
  3. Access the Faults program tab.
  4. Select the Faults | Import | Triangles -> 3D Fault menu option.
  5. Enter the requested menu settings, described above.
  6. Click the Continue button to proceed.

    RockWorks will read the triangle coordinates and create a series of connected triangular panels representing the 3D fault mesh. The mesh will be stored in the Faults table in the project database.

  7. 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.
