RockWorks | Utilities | Planes | Strike -> Dip Direction
This program translates azimuth bearings representing strike to dip direction. This permits you to change the format of your data from "right hand rule" to "dip direction."
- Input
- Strike : From the drop-down list, select the name of the column in the data sheet that contains the strike bearing measurements.
- Output
- Dip Direction: From the drop-down list, select the name of the column in the data sheet into which the computed dip direction values will be recorded.
! Any existing data listed in this column will be overwritten.
- Access the RockWorks Datasheet program tab.
- Create a new datasheet and enter/import the data that lists at least one column of values that represent strike bearing (0 - 360 decimal degrees).
- Select the Utilities | Planes | Strike->Dip Direction menu option.
- Enter the program settings, described above.
- Click the Continue button to proceed.
The program will read the strike bearings, rotate the measurements 90 degrees clockwise, and store the resulting measurements in the requested output column.
