RockWorks | ModOps | Solid | Export | Other Formats
Use this program to export a RockWorks solid model file (*.RwMod) to another format, for use in another software application. The following exports are offered:
- ASCII XYZG
- NOeSYS
- Slicer Dicer
- ESRI Shape
- netCdf
Feature Level: RockWorks Basic and higher
- Solid Name: Click to the right to browse for the RockWorks solid model file (.RwMod file) to be exported.
- Export Options: Click on this tab to select the desired export format and file name.
- Output File: Click to the right to type in the name to assign to the exported file. The correct file name extension to use will depend on the output format you select below.
- Output Format
- ASCII XYZG: Click in this radio button to export your RockWorks solid model file to an Text XYZG format.
- Export Nulls: Check this box to export any null values in the .RwMod file.
- Replace Null Values: Check this option if you wish to replace the RockWorks null values (-1e27) with a different value. If activated, enter that value in the Replacement Value prompt. For example, if you will be opening the exported model into a different software program which expects "-9999" as the null value, you would enter that.
- Decimal Places: Number of decimal places without output fields.
- Include Header: Insert a check in this box if you want the ASCII export file to include a header before the XYZG listing. This header lists a summary of the model dimensions, as shown in the Import Model Format.
- Column Separator: Click on the button to the right to select the character (e.g. tab or space) to be used to separate the columns of XYZG values in the output file.
- Noesys: Click in this radio button to export your RockWorks solid model file to a format read by the NOeSYS T3D software application.
- Filter Node Value: Check this if you wish to filter the node G values in the original file before export.
- Lower Threshold: Enter the minimum G value to be included in the exported model. If you want all low G values to be included in the exported file, enter a very small number, such as "0.0000001".
- Lower Replacement: Enter the G value to be assigned those nodes whose original G values are less than the lower threshold declared above.
- Upper Threshold: Enter the maximum G value to be included in the exported model. If you want all high G values to be included in the exported file, enter a very large number, such as "9999999".
- Upper Replacement: Enter the G value to be assigned those nodes whose original G values are greater than the upper threshold declared above.
- Execute Noesys: Insert a check here if you want the NOeSYS T3D program to be launched, and the export model loaded, when the export file has been created.
- Program Location: Click here to define the location of the T3D program into which the exported model is to be loaded if the "execute" option has been activated.
- Slicer-Dicer: Click in this radio buttonto export your RockWorks solid model file to a format read by the Slicer Dicer software application.
- Filter Node Values: Check this to filter the node G values in the original file before export.
- Lower Threshold: Enter the minimum G value to be included in the exported model. If you want all low G values to be included in the exported file, enter a very small number, such as "0.0000001".
- Lower Replacement: Enter the G value to be assigned those nodes whose original G values are less than the lower threshold declared above.
- Upper Threshold: Enter the maximum G value to be included in the exported model. If you want all high G values to be included in the exported file, enter a very large number, such as "9999999".
- Upper Replacement: Enter the G value to be assigned those nodes whose original G values are greater than the upper threshold declared above.
- Dependent Variable Name: Click here to enter the name to be used to describe the G values when displayed in Slicer Dicer. For example, if the RockWorks solid model represents geochemical values, you could set the G value name to "Gold". If your RockWorks model represents geophysical values, you could set the G value name to "Gamma".
- Execute Slicer-Dicer: Insert a check here if you want the Slicer Dicer program to be launched, and the export model loaded, when the export file has been created.
- Program Location: Click here to define the location of the Slicer Dicer program into which the exported model is to be loaded if the "execute" option has been activated.
- ESRI Shape Point: Choose this option to export your solid model file to an ESRI 3D Shapefile, consisting of points at the node locations for use in ArcScene. The program will output three files, filename.shp, filename.shx, and filename.dbf.
- netCdf: Choose this option to export your solid model file to a netCDF format for use in ArcGIS. These files use an .nc file name extension.
