• Vertical Image
  • Image File: Click to the right to browse for the name of the image to be displayed.
  • Corner Point Coordinates: Use these prompts to define the location of the image in 3D space.
    • Lower Left: Type in the X, Y, and elevation coordinates for the lower-left corner of the image. RockWorks will assume that these coordinates are the same projection and units as your project.
    • Upper Right: Type in the X, Y, and elevaton coordinates for the upper-right corner of the image.

    

  • Layer Name: Enter the name to assign to the image. This will simply be used as a label in RockPlot3D's data pane.
  • Set Transparent Color: Check this item if you want to specify a specific color in the bitmap images to be displayed transparent. Click the color box to choose that color.
    For example if the images have a white background and you would like that part to be see-through, you would select white.

• Other 3D Diagram Options
  Use these checkboxes to append other layers to your 3D scene.
  Click each tab to set up the 3D diagram layers (reference cage, infrastructure, etc.).

• Output Options: Use these settings to define whether the output graphic 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)
