Edit the RockPlot3D Well Construction Table

Step-by-Step Summary

Follow these steps to edit the current RockPlot3D view's Well Construction Table.

! The changes you make to this table will not affect any existing logs in the 3D display. Their colors were established upon diagram creation. You can adjust some of their settings manually using the settings described under RockPlot3D Data Items. The changes described here will affect the well construction legend only.

1. Expand the Tables heading in the data pane.
   
2. Double-click on the Well Construction item. The program will display the Well Construction Table Edit window.
   This window will list all of the material names stored in the project database's Well Construction 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 material name will be displayed in the view's well construction legend.
   • Color: Here you can choose a different color for the material type in the legend. Note that this will NOT change the color for the material in any log 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 material in the 3D image.
   • Show in Legend: Insert a check here to display the material 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 material type name to the well construction legend.
   • Delete: Click on this button to delete the currently-selected material type.
   • Sort on:
     • Names: Choose this option to sort the materials in the legend alphabetically; click the Sort button re-sort the names.
     • G-Values: Choose this to sort the materials in the legend by their G value; 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 well construction legends that you insert (Edit | Add Legend | Well Construction).
