Step-by-Step Summary
- Grid Names
- Input Grid: Click to the right to browse for the name of the existing grid file (.RwGrd) that the program is to read and manipulate.
- Output Grid: Click to the right to enter the name to assign to the new grid file that the program will create, which results from the rounding operation.
- Interval
- Rounding Interval: Enter the Z-value interval to which grid nodes are to be rounded. For example, if you enter "10" and the Z-values represent feet, then all grid nodes will be rounded to the nearest 10-foot interval.
- 2D Grid Map
Check this box to display the output grid as a 2D map at this time.

- 3D Grid Diagram
Check this box to display the output grid as a 3D surface at this time.
Click this tab to set up the 3D map layers (surface colors, images, reference cage, etc.).

- Click the Process button to continue.
The program will load the input grid file, round each grid node Z-value to the nearest rounding interval, and store the results on disk under the output grid file name.
The requested diagram(s) will be displayed in a RockPlot2D tab and/or RockPlot3D tab in the Options window.
- You can adjust any of the settings in the Options window and then click the Process button again to regenerate the diagram(s).
