RockWorks offers the following display options for three-dimensional solid models, such as those generated by the Borehole Operations I-Data | Solid program, or the ModOps | Solid | Create | XYZG Data -> Solid program.
Diagram Type: Choose from:
- Isosurface: Click in the Isosurface radio button to display the solid model as if enclosed in a "skin." This view will be smoother than a voxel display.
See 3D Isosurface Settings for more information.
- Voxels: Click in the Voxels radio button to represent the solid model in the 3D display as color-coded voxels. You can choose to display either the Full Voxel, or just the Midpoint. Display of the midpoint only can significantly improve display time for huge models.
! Note: You can toggle between Full Voxels and Midpoints in RockPlot3D after the model is displayed. For this reason, if you're interpolating/displaying a large model, choose Midpoints; should you later prefer to view the full voxel image, you can select this in the display window itself.

- Filter: Check this option if you want to restrict the isosurface or voxel display to a specific data range. This does not affect the model, only the display of the model. Enabling this permits you to create an initial display in RockPlot3D that eliminates the need to manually change the display attributes. More importantly, this capability if essential for initially displaying the solid in a pre-filtered state when creating animations and Playlist scripts.
! These filter settings can be changed once the diagram is displayed in RockPlot3D.
- Color Scheme: Click this tab to define the color scheme for the display. (More info)
