Borehole Operations | StripLogs | 3D Striplog
Use this program to create a three-dimensional view of the strip log of a single well, displaying observed data entered into the Borehole Manager data tables. The log can include any combination of the available log items. The completed image can be displayed in the RockPlot3D window.

- Output Options: Use these settings to define whether the output scene is to be saved (or displayed as "untitled"), how the file should be named, and whether it is to be displayed after it is created. It also offers export options. (More info)
- Access the Borehole Manager program tab.
- Enter/import your data into the Borehole Manager database if you have not already done so.
- In the list along the left side of the Borehole Manager window, click on the name of the borehole whose data is to be displayed in the log. Be sure the check-box to the left of the borehole name is checked so that the borehole is enabled.
- Select the StripLogs | 3D Striplog option from the Borehole Operations menu.
- Establish the program settings, as described above.
- Be sure to click on the 3D Log Design tab to establish the layout of the log diagram.
- Click on the Continue button to proceed.
The program will create a three-dimensional display of the selected borehole, reading the specified data from the borehole database. Only the log items you have activated will be displayed in the log. The log will be displayed in a RockPlot3D tab in the Options window if requested.
- You can adjust any of the settings in the Main Options tab to the left and click the Continue button to regenerate the log.
- View / save / manipulate / print / export the log in the RockPlot3D window.
