When a RockPlot3D view is generated by RockWorks, there's a general order in which the items will be listed in the Data Pane, and a general order to the Groups and their component data items. For example, if you create a diagram including multiple 3D striplogs (Striplogs | 3D Striplogs), you'll get a layout something like this:
RockPlot3D allows you to change the order of the data items in the Data Pane, primarily for organizational purposes (as shown in the following example) but also in case you have "stacking" and transparency issues.
Follow these steps to re-order the data items in the RockPlot3D Data Pane.
- In the Data Pane of the RockPlot3D window, click and hold down your mouse button on the data item or group you wish to relocate. If necessary, you can expand a group to access the data item to be moved.
- With the mouse button still pressed in, drag the item up or down in the data listing to its desired location, and release the mouse button. Typically, the data item below which the item will be placed will appear highlighted.
- If the item that's highlighted is a Group, the program will prompt you, "Add item to Group groupname?"
- Click Yes to add the item you're moving to that Group.
- Click No if the item you're moving to be listed below the Group but not within the Group.
