RockWorks | Utilities | Solid | Filter | Rounding Filter
This program will round solid model node values to the closest, user-defined G-value increment.

Step-by-Step Summary
Menu Options
- Input Model: Click to the right to browse for the existing RockWorks solid model (.RwMod file) to be run through the rounding filter.
- Output Model: Click to the right to type in a name to assign to the new model that will result from the rounding operation.
- Rounding Interval: Click here to enter the G-value increment to which solid model nodes are to be rounded. For example, if you enter "1" and the G-values represent parts per billion, then all model nodes will be rounded to the nearest 1-ppb increment.
- Create 3-Dimensional Diagram: Insert a check here if you want to create a plottable 3D diagram of the resulting solid model. Expand this item to establish the diagram settings.
- Diagram Type: Choose Isosurface to display the solid model as if enclosed in a "skin". Choose All Voxels to display color-coded voxels. (More.)
- Iso-Mesh: Use this option to plot a series of polylines that represent three-dimensional contours at a user-defined cutoff. Expand the heading to establish the settings. (More.)
- Color Scheme: Click on the Options button to the right to access a variety of pre-set color schemes, or to create your own. (More.)
- Reference Cage: Insert a check here to include vertical elevation axes and X and Y coordinate axes in the 3D diagram. Expand this item to set up the cage items. (More.)
- Include Legend: Insert a check here to include an index to the colors and G values in the diagram. (More.)
Step-by-Step Summary
- Double-check that you have a real number RockWorks solid model which will be the input file for this program.
- Access the RockWorks Utilities program tab. It is not necessary to enter data into the main datasheet because RockWorks will be manipulating an existing solid model.
- Select the Solid | Filters | Rounding Filter menu option.
- Enter the requested menu settings, described above.
- Click the Process button to continue.
The program will load the input solid model, compare each of the model node G-values to the declared interval, round the G value up or down to the next interval, and store the results on disk under the output solid model name. If you have requested a diagram, it will be displayed in a RockPlot3D tab.
- You can adjust any of the input options along the left side of the window and click the Process button again to regenerate the model and display.
! Each time you click the Process button, the existing 3D display will be replaced.
- View / save / manipulate / print the image in the RockPlot3D window.
