This assumes a right-hand rule whereby the dip direction is 90 degrees clockwise from the strike bearing.

Strike Direction: Choose this option if the Direction measurements represent strike azimuth bearing.

Inclination (Dip) Direction: Choose this option if the Direction measurements, defined in the column above, represent planar dip direction.

Magnetic Declination Correction: Enter any declinaton correction as described in the program dialog.

Directionality: Choose how the planar data are recorded in the datasheet.

Dip: Column that contains the dip angle from horizontal, with 90 = vertical downward and 0 = horizontal.

Direction: Column that contains the strike direction or dip direction, in a 0 - 360 azimuth degree format.

Y (Northing): Column that contains the Y coordinates for the points.

See Defining your Datasheet Coordinates for more information. These can be Eastings in meters or feet, decimal longitudes, etc.

X (Easting): Column that contains the X coordinates for the points.

Data Columns: These prompts tell RockWorks which columns in the current datasheet contain the necessary input data.Ĭlick on an existing name to select a different name from the drop-down list.

It will create a Google Earth map with the point locations illustrated with strike and dip symbol at correct orientation and (optional) labels and hotlinks. Use this program to read a listing of data from the Datasheet Editor: XY locations, and strike or dip direction and dip angle of the geologic features (bedding plane, fault, etc.).
