Image Tools RockWorks15 Once you’ve saved the image of the surface items, use File / Append to append it to an
existing RockPlot3D view.
3D Triangles
The Triangles program is used to plot a series of colored
triangles in 3D space. The input consists of a datasheet
that lists the coordinates for each triangle vertex.
3D Tubes
The Grafix / 3D Utilities / Tubes option reads X1Y1Z1
X2Y2Z2 locations from the datasheet (page 93) and draws
3D tubes between these locations for display in
RockPlot3D. Use this to display pipes, mine workings,
structural diagrams in 3D space.
Other Tools
The Grafix menu’s 3D Utilities also offers a stand-alone reference cage tool that’s the
same as the cage options listed within many of the program menus.
It also contains a stand-alone append-XML tool that functions just like the Append tool in
RockPlot3D. (See page 266.)
2D Utilities
The Grafix menu’s 2D Utilities tools are stand-alone duplicates of those that exist within
RockPlot2D:
Append: Combines two RK6 files.
Append Raster Image: Inserts a raster image into a RK6 file.
Clip: Clips a RK6 file within a rectangular region.
Montage: Combines multiple 2D images into a montage.
Import: Offers tools for importing AGL, DXF, and ESRI Shapefiles into RockPlot2D. (See
also page 253.)
Export: Offers tools for exporting an existing RK6 file to a WMF, EMF, BMP, JPG, PNG,
TIFF, or RockPlot3D format.
