Adjust the Voxel Model Color Scheme

Step-by-Step Summary

Follow these steps to adjust how 3D solid voxel model is to be colored.

1. In the Data pane of the RockPlot3D window, right-click on the name of the solid model to be modified, and choose Options. Or, just double-click on the voxel model icon.
2. Color Scheme: In the Solid Model Options window, locate the Color Scheme drop-down box. By clicking the down-arrow you can see the options.
   • Solid: Choose this for all of the voxels to be colored the same, regardless of their value. Click the color box to select the voxel color.
   • Continuous: Choose this scheme to color-code the voxels based on G (geochemical or geophysical "grade") values. Use the Min-Max button to the right to choose the gradational color palette to use. You can choose from a variety of pre-defined cold/hot schemes, custom color tables, direct coloration (color models), etc.
     • Minimum and Maximum: Use these prompts to set the G value range to be associated with the selected end colors. These will default to the entire G value range. You can type in your own values to illustrate a subset of the G values contained in the solid model. Or, if you are comparing different models with the same color scheme, you can use these prompts to establish the same G value range.
       ! You can click the Info button at the very bottom of the window to see the solid model's G-value range.
   • Lithology Table: If the solid model represents lithology types, choose this option to apply the background colors from the Lithology Types table in the RockWorks Borehole Manager database.

   • 
     

   • Stratigraphy Table: If the solid model represents stratigraphy types, choose this option to apply the background colors from the Stratigraphy Types table in the RockWorks Borehole Manager database.
3. Click the Apply button at any time to view the effect of your color changes on the voxel model. You may need to drag the Options window out of the way to view the display. You do not need to close the Solid Model Options window to apply and see the changes.

   ! Using the Apply button tells the program to invoke the changes you have made. You cannot discard changes once they have been applied.

These color schemes can be used with any of the solid model Draw Styles.
