RockWorks | Utilities | Solid | Export | Generic
Use this program to export a RockWorks solid model file (*.RwMod) to another format, for use in another software application. The following exports are offered:
- ASCII XYZG
- NOeSYS
- Slicer Dicer
- Voxel Analyst
- ESRI Shape
Menu Options
Menu Options
- Solid Model File: Click to the right to browse for the RockWorks solid model file (.RwMod file) to be exported.
- Output File: Click to the right to type in the name to assign to the exported file.
- Output Format + Options: Expand this heading to select the desired export format.
- ASCII XYZG: Click in this radio button if you wish to export your RockWorks solid model file to an Text XYZG format. Expand this heading to select the output options.
- Export Nulls: Check this box to export any null values in the .RwMod file.
- Replace Null Values: Check this option if you wish to replace the RockWorks null values (-1e27) with a different value, and enter that value in the Replacement Value prompt. For example, if you'll be opening the exported model into a different software program which expects "-9999" as the null value, you would enter that.
- Column Separator: Click on the button to the right to select the character to be used to separate the columns of XYZG values in the output file. You may choose from Space, Tab, or Comma-delimited columns.
- Decimal Places: Number of decimal places without output fields.
- Include Header: Insert a check in this box if you want the ASCII export file to include a header before the XYZG listing. This header lists a summary of the model dimensions, as shown in the Import Model Format.
- Noesys: Click in this radio button if you wish to export your RockWorks solid model file to a format read by the NOeSYS T3D software application.
Expand this heading to select the output options.
- Filter: Insert a check here if you wish to filter the node G values in the original file before export Expand this heading to establish the filter settings.
- Lower Threshold: Click here to enter the minimum G value to be included in the exported model. If you want all low G values to be included in the exported file, enter a very small number, such as "0.0000001".
- Lower Replacement: Click here to enter the G value to be assigned those nodes whose original G values are less than the lower threshold declared above.
- Upper Threshold: Click here to enter the maximum G value to be included in the exported model. If you want all high G values to be included in the exported file, enter a very large number, such as "9999999".
- Upper Replacement: Click here to enter the G value to be assigned those nodes whose original G values are greater than the upper threshold declared above.
- Execute Noesys: Insert a check here if you want the NOeSYS T3D program to be launched, and the export model loaded, when the export file has been created.
Expand this heading to establish the program's path.
- Noesys Path: Click here to define the location of the T3D program into which the exported model is to be loaded if the "execute" option has been activated.
- Slicer-Dicer: Click in this radio button if you wish to export your RockWorks solid model file to a format read by the Slicer Dicer software application. Expand this heading to select the output options.
- Filter: Insert a check here if you wish to filter the node G values in the original file before export. Expand this heading to establish the filter settings.
- Lower Threshold: Click here to enter the minimum G value to be included in the exported model. If you want all low G values to be included in the exported file, enter a very small number, such as "0.0000001".
- Lower Replacement: Click here to enter the G value to be assigned those nodes whose original G values are less than the lower threshold declared above.
- Upper Threshold: Click here to enter the maximum G value to be included in the exported model. If you want all high G values to be included in the exported file, enter a very large number, such as "9999999".
- Upper Replacement: Click here to enter the G value to be assigned those nodes whose original G values are greater than the upper threshold declared above.
- Variable Name: Click here to enter the name to be used to describe the G values when displayed in Slicer Dicer. For example, if the RockWorks solid model represents geochemical values, you could set the G value name to "Gold". If your RockWorks model represents geophysical values, you could set the G value name to "Gamma".
- Execute Slicer-Dicer: Insert a check here if you want the Slicer Dicer program to be launched, and the export model loaded, when the export file has been created.
Expand this heading to establish the program's path.
- Slicer-Dicer Path: Click here to define the location of the Slicer Dicer program into which the exported model is to be loaded if the "execute" option has been activated.
- Voxel Analyst: Click in this radio button if you wish to export your RockWorks solid model file to a format read by the Voxel Analyst program from Intergraph.
- ESRI Shape Point: Choose this option to export your solid model file to an ESRI 3D Shapefile, consisting of points at the node locations for use in ArcScene. The program will output three files, filename.shp, filename.shx, and filename.dbf.
