Select the RockWorks 15/16 Input Folder

To select the RockWorks15 or RockWorks16 project folder that contains the database and/or files you wish to convert to RockWorks20xx format, follow these steps:

1. Locate the "RockWorks 15/16 Project (Input)" prompt at the bottom of the window.
   
2. Click on the small Open button to the right of the prompt.
   
3. Use the Browse window to access the computer, drive, and folder where the RockWorks15 or RockWorks16 project resides.
   
4. Click on that project folder name to select it.
   
5. Click the OK button.
   

RockWorks will scan the selected project folder.

• If you selected a RockWorks15 project, the program will list all .GRD, .MOD, .ATD, .RK6, and .R3DXML files it locates in that folder into the appropriate tabs in the program window.
• If you selected a RockWorks16 project, none of the tabs will show files. This is because the model, data, and graphic files from RockWorks16 are compatible with RockWorks20xx and no conversion is required.

Here's a summary of the file type tabs:

• Grid Model (grd) tab: Lists all of the RockWorks15 grid (surface) model files. These .GRD files will be converted to a RockWorks20xx .RwGRD file type.
• Solid Model (mod) tab: Lists all of the RockWorks15 solid (block) model files. These .MOD files will be converted to a RockWorks20xx .RwMOD file type.
• Data Sheet (atd) tab: Lists all of the RockWorks15 Utilities datasheet files. These .ATD files will be converted to a RockWorks20xx .RwDAT file type.
• RockPlot2D (rk6) tab: Lists all of the RockWorks15 2D plot files (maps, cross sections, etc.) These .RK6 files will be converted to a RockWorks20xx .Rw2D file type.
• RockPlot3D (r3dxml) tab: Lists all of the RockWorks15 3D plot files (block model, fence diagram, etc. scenes). These .RW3DXML files will be converted to a RockWorks20 .Rw3D file type.
