Edit the RockPlot3D Stratigraphy Table

Step-by-Step Summary

Follow these steps to edit the current RockPlot3D view's Stratigraphy Table.
! The changes you make to this table will not affect any stratigraphy surfaces, models, fence panels, or logs in the 3D display. Their colors were established upon diagram creation. You can adjust them manually using the settings described under RockPlot3D Data Items. The changes described here will affect the stratigraphy legend only.

1. Expand the Tables heading in the data pane.
   
2. Double-click on the Stratigraphy item. The program will display the Stratigraphy Table Edit window.
   This window will list all of the formation names stored in the project database's Stratigraphy Types Table. As you click on each name, the settings to the right will change.

   

3. Click on a listed keyword to make the editing changes.
   • Caption: You can edit the text shown here to change how the formation name will be displayed in the view's stratigraphy legend.
   • Color: Here you can choose a different color for the unit in the legend. Note that this will NOT change the color for the unit in any log or stratigraphy diagram in the current display; be cautious. This is most typically used to lighten/darken a color in the legend to match more closely the representation of the formation in the 3D image.
   • Show in Legend: Insert a check here to display the unit's name and color in the legend. By default, this setting will be activated for only those types already established with "Show in Legend" active in the project database.
   • New Entry: Click here to add a formation name to the stratigraphy legend.
   • Delete: Click on this button to delete the currently-selected formation name.
   • Sort on:
     • Names: Choose this option to sort the formations in the legend alphabetically; click the Sort button re-sort the names.
     • G-Values: Choose this to sort the formations in the legend by their G value (formation "order"); click the Sort button to re-sort.
   • Apply: Click the Apply button to apply the changes you have made to the table.
   • 
     
4. Click the OK button to close the Table Edit window and update the diagram legend. The changes will also apply to subsequent stratigraphy legends that you insert (Edit | Add Legend | Stratigraphy).
