Insert a check in the RockWorks Striplog Axis check-box to display a 3D log trace representing the log axis. When you click on the Axis item in the layout window you’ll see the following settings in the pane to the right.
- Style:
- Polyline: Choose this option to display the axis as a series of line segments in 3D.
- Thickness: Use this setting to establish the line thickness, using integers from 1 (thin) to 4 (thick).
- Tube: Choose this option if you prefer the axes be represented with a 3D tube. Refer to the example below for the difference between polylines and tubes.
- Radius Units: These settings define the width of the log tubes.
- Percentage of Project Size: Click in this radio button to declare the log tubes as a percent of the dimensions of the project. This option will scale logs more consistently between projects. Default = 1% of project size.
- Map Units: Click in this radio button to define the log tube radius in actual map units. For example, if your map and depth units represent feet and you define the tubes with a radius of "1", then the log axes will be drawn with tubes with a radius of 1 foot.
- Color:
- Uniform: Select this for all log axes to be set to the same color, and click the color box to choose the color.
- Variable: Select this option to have the program use the same color for each borehole's log axis as is selected for its map symbol (defined in its Location tab). This provides a handy means of distinguishing logs. Color-coded logs axes are especially useful when plotting complex relationships between deviated boreholes, tunnels, and mine workings.
