Use the Striplassog Fractures check-box to plot your fracture measurements as oriented disks in your 3D striplog. The data is read from the Fractures table in the Borehole Manager database. When you click on the Fractures item in the Visible Items window you’ll see the following settings in the Options pane to the right.
- Column Attributes
- Column title: Click here to enter text to be displayed above the column. If no title is desired, you can leave this field blank.
- Column Radius: The radius of the Fracture column is established as a percent of the output dimensions. As you click and drag to resize a column in the Layout Preview at the top of the window, this setting will be updated. If you edit the radius via this prompt, the size of the column in the Preview will be updated. This setting will be ignored if you choose Variable dimensions, below.
- Column Offset
- Direction: This reflects the position of the column, relative to the log axis (center), with 0 = north, 180 = south, and so on. As you click and drag the Fractures column in the Layout Preview pane (top), this value will be updated. Conversely, if you edit the azimuth direction in this prompt, the Preview will be updated.
- Distance: This represents the distance of the Fracture column center from the log axis (center), expressed as a percent of the output dimensions. As you reposition the column in the Layout Preview pane at the top of the screen, this value will be updated. And, as you edit the offset distance here, the Preview will be updated. In the example above, the Fracture column is positioned on top of the Lithology column, both with an Offset Distance of 0.
- Appearance
- Dimensions
- Fixed Thickness: Choose this for all fracture disks to be the same thickness. Enter the thickness value into the prompt.
- Variable: Choose this option for the thickness of the disks to be based on the Aperture values in the database.
- Stretch with Vertical Exaggeration: Check this option if you want the dip angles of the disks to change as the vertical exaggeration changes while still honoring the relative spatial relationships. Leave this un-checked if the disk angles should remain constant.
