Creating a New RockPlot3D Window

RockWorks | Window | RockPlot3D

A new RockPlot3D window is created automatically any time that a 3-dimensional image is created within RockWorks.  Typically RockPlot3D is displayed as a tab "embedded" in the program Options window; it can also be displayed in a stand-alone window.  

If you are working in RockWorks and wish to open an existing image that has already been saved as an Rw3D file*, you’ll need to access a RockPlot3D window first.

Step-by-Step Summary

1. If a RockPlot3D window is already open, simply click in that RockPlot3D window to make it active and follow the instructions about Opening a RockPlot3D File. 
   • To locate an existing plot window that may be hidden behind the main RockWorks data screen, you can move the data window out of the way (by grabbing its title bar).
   • Or, if RockPlot3D is being displayed as a stand-alone window, you will see its icon on the Windows taskbar; just click on that icon to bring its window to the front.
     
     
2. If there is no RockPlot3D window open, you can launch RockPlot3D by
   • Clicking on the RockPlot3D button that lies along the left edge of the main RockWorks program window, or
   • Selecting the Window | RockPlot3D menu option. 
     
     
3. Follow the instructions about Opening a 3D View.
