Rockware GIS Link 2
Utilise the power of RockWorks in your ArcGIS 9 or 10 software
-
Overview
The new RockWare GIS Link allows you to generate RockWorks cross-sections, profiles, fence diagrams, 2D borehole strip-logs, contour maps (ground surface and structural elevations) and isopach maps using the ESRI ArcMap software (contained in ArcView, ArcEditor and ArcInfo) and RockWorks.
A simple toolbar installed into ArcMap lets you access and use the power of the RockWorks engine to produce high quality drawings within ArcMap.

Toolbar in ArcMap
Rockware GIS Link installs as a toolbar (both floating and in the menu bar) in your ArcMap application.
This controls:
- the import of RockWorks borehole data into the ArcMap geodatabase
- the generation of Sections, Profiles and Fence diagrams
- the generation of Contour and Isopach maps
- the generation of 2D borehole striplogs

Create Profiles and Sections
Use the RockWorks "engine" to create prfiles and/or sections from any of the following data types:
- StripLogs
- Lithology
- Stratigraphy
- Interval (I)-Data
- Point (P)-Data
Simply create the trace lines for your profile or section by clicking the main points:

Create 3D Fence diagrams
Create 3D Fence Diagrams using the RockWorks "engine" and any of the following data sets:
- StripLogs
- Lithology
- Stratigraphy
- Interval (I)-Data
- Point (P)-Data
Using Rockware GIS Link within ArcMap to create the fence diagram panels:

Create Maps and StripLogs
Create line or colour-filled contour maps of ground surface elevations or formation tops. The resulting map is displayed as a DXF layer in ArcMap. Create isopach maps of individual formations or adjacent stratigraphic layers. Create 2D striplogs for individual borehole locations, with all available data options. 
This example shows lithology, value histogram, numeric data and well construction.About RockWorks
