Creating a Grid Mosaic

RockWorks | ModOps | Grid | Mosaic

This program is used to combine two or more side-by-side or overlapping grid models into a single grid model. This can be used to combine models of adjacent projects or imported grid models.

! All of the .RwGrd files must be in the current project folder.

• Data Columns
  • Input Files: Select the name of the column of the datasheet in which the names of the .RwGrd files to be combined are listed.
  • 
    
• Output File
  • Mosaic Grid Output File: Click to the right to type in a name for the output grid model, Which will contain the mosaic of the input grids.
  • 
    
• Grid Dimensions: Click this tab to define the dimensions for the output model. (More info)
• 
  
• 2D Grid Map
  Check this box to display the output grid as a 2D map at this time.
  Click this tab to set up the 2D map layers (bitmap, symbols, labels, line contours, color-filled contours, labeled cells, map border, etc.).
• 
  
• 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.).
  ! You can request both a 2D and 3D representation of the grid model.

Step-by-Step Summary

This program requires that the grid models to be combined into a mosaic already exist in the current project folder.

1. Access the RockWorks Datasheet program tab.
2. List the names of the input grid models in a single column in the datasheet.
   ! Note that all of the grid files listed must reside in the current project folder; you need to list only the grid file names (grid1.RwGrd), not the full path (C:\project_a\grid1.RwGrd)
3. Select the ModOps | Grid | Mosaic menu option.
4. Enter the requested menu settings, described above.
5. Click the Process button to continue.

   The program will initialize the new model at the requested dimensions. For each new node it will find the closest node within any of the input grids and use that z-value for the output model.

   The requested diagram(s) will be displayed in a RockPlot2D tab and/or RockPlot3D tab in the Options window.

6. You can adjust any of the settings in the Options window and then click the Process button again to regenerate the diagram(s).
7. View / save / manipulate / export / print the diagram in the RockPlot2D or RockPlot3D window.
