- First, follow the steps for opening the Well Construction Type Table.
- To delete a row in the Table, click in the row, right-click, choose Rows, and then Delete. (Alternatively, you can type Ctrl+Del.)
! Warning: If there are any borehole data records that reference this well construction type you will see a warning as such. You can choose to (1) delete all of those borehole data entries, (2) change the entries to another material name, or (3) cancel the deletion operation by clicking the Cancel button.
- To insert a row in the Well Construction Type Table:
- At the end of the listing, click in the last Material cell and press the down-arrow key.
- In the middle of the listing, click in the cell above which you wish to add the new row, right-click and choose Rows, and choose Insert. The program will insert a new row into the table, with an undefined material type.
- Then, click in the appropriate cell to enter the required information:
- Material: This column lists the names of the construction materials. These names are linked to the borehole Well Construction data. They will be sorted alphabetically.
- To add a material type to the end of the list, click in the last Name cell and press the down-arrow key. A new, undefined type will be listed. Type in the name for the new material to be added. Material names can be single or multiple words, up to 60 characters in total length.
- To add a name to the top or middle of the list, click on the row above which you want to insert the material. Right-click and choose Rows / Insert. A new, undefined type will be listed. Type in the name for the material to be added. Note that when the table is opened, the names will be sorted in alphabetical order.
- Pattern:
- Select a pattern for a material by double-clicking in the Pattern cell of that row. The program will display the Select Pattern window.
- From the displayed pattern library, click on the desired pattern design.
- Set the foreground and background colors using the color boxes at the top of the window. In strip logs and profiles, the pattern design will be drawn in the declared foreground color, on top of the declared background color.
- Set the pattern's density by clicking the up or down Density arrows. The higher the number, the larger the repeating pattern block (and the lower the pattern density).
- The Preview box will show you the current pattern design, colors, and density.
- Set the pattern's line or dot width by clicking the up or down Line Width arrows. This will be updated in the Preview display. This capability is especially useful for enhancing single-dot patterns (e.g. sand) that may not be otherwise visible on higher resolution devices (e.g. printers).
- Accept the current settings for the current material by clicking OK at the bottom of the Select Pattern window.
- Show in Legend: This setting allows you to specify which of the material type names are to be displayed in the diagram legends.
- Insert a check in each material's check-box if it is to be represented in diagram legends.
- When your editing is complete, click the OK button at the bottom of the table editor to close the window. Note that changes you make to the Well Construction Type Table are posted on the fly. You do not need to save the changes you make.
