3D Striplogs - Stratigraphy Columns

Use the Striplog Stratigraphy check-box to display downhole stratigraphy intervals, entered into the Stratigraphy table in the Borehole Manager database, as blocks of color in your 3D logs. When you click on the Stratigraphy item in the layout window you’ll see the following settings in the pane to the right.

! Note that stratigraphy is represented in the 3D log cylinders with colors only, no patterns. The colors that are used are those selected as the background color in the Stratigraphy Types Table. (OpenGL does not support the display of lithology patterns in 3D.)

Menu Options

• Column Attributes
  • Column title: Click here to enter text to be displayed above the stratigraphy column. If no title is desired, you can leave this field blank.
  • Column Radius: The radius of the stratigraphy 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.
  • 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 stratigraphy 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.
    • Offset Distance: This represents the distance of the stratigraphy 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.
