How do I snap strata?
How do I snap strata?
WinFence uses a
unique snapping approach that can be used to quickly add
layer, alteration zone, intrusion, and lense boundaries.
The number of boundaries a strata has depends on the
type of strata. Layers have a top and bottom boundary.
Faults, lenses, alteration zones and intrusions have
only one boundary. These boundaries can be defined by a
series of points on the cross-section, or by the
boundaries of other strata.
There are three methods for drawing boundaries: fully
drawn, snapped or assigned. Snapped boundaries can be
partially drawn and partially snapped. Snapped
boundaries can include one or more different strata. In
addition to snapping the strata boundaries can be
assigned to the strata above or below.
Snapping is used to fix part of a strata's boundary to a
boundary of another strata. This approach allows the
boundary of one strata to be fixed to the boundary of
another. Making the input of strata boundaries quick and
accurate. When drawing a boundary it is possible to draw
part of the boundary and then snap to another existing
strata boundary (i.e. fault). To snap to an existing
boundary double-click the left mouse button on the
strata boundary. The remaining part of the boundary will
then be formed from the snapped boundary. Snapping to a
portion of another boundary can be used to quickly draw
pinchouts and uncomformities.

To Draw a
Boundary
Before you can draw a cross-section
you must first create your strata. Most strata have two boundaries, a top and a
bottom. Lenses, intrusions, and faults have only one boundary. To draw a
boundary for a strata, select the strata and then right click anywhere on the
cross-section. Select Add Boundary, Top or Bottom from the popup menu. Draw the
boundary using the mouse, starting at the left side of the cross-section and
finishing on the right side of the cross-section. You can add as many points as
desired and they do not have to be at the locations of the boreholes. When you
are finished double click the mouse. Click the right mouse button and then
select Previous Menu from the popup menu. That's it, you have fully drawn this
boundary.
To Assign a
Boundary
To assign one boundary to another
you must first create your strata you will assign the boundary to. Once the
first strata has been created, select the strata to be assigned. Click the
right mouse button to display the popup menu and select Use Existing Strata,
and either the Top or Bottom boundary. The pointer will change to a hand.
Click on the strata that you want to assign this boundary to. If you are
assigning the top boundary the strata should be above this strata and if you
are assigning the bottom boundary the strata should be below this strata.
To Snap to a Boundary
A lense only has one boundary, the
boundary is normally formed by snapping it to the top or bottom boundary of
another strata. To add the lense boundary, select the lense and then right click
anywhere in the cross section to display the popup menu. Select the Add Boundary
menu item, the pointer will change to a cross hair. Click on the boundary of
another strata to start drawing the lense (the boundary of the lense will
be snapped to this strata from the left side of the cross-section to this
point). Then add the points that define the lense. Finally snap the last point
of the lense to the boundary of another strata or the same strata as before (the
remaining boundary of the lense will be snapped to this strata from this point
to the right side of the cross-section). The snap points for the lense could
also be the left or right sides of the cross-section, as in the example to the
right.
Do WinFence and WinLoG shares the same Database?
WinFence shares the same database as WinLoG.
Borehole data created in WinLoG can be plotted, opened and edited in WinFence.
The programs work together to ensure that a seamless exchange of
information.
To edit a borehole in WinFence simply double-click it.
The WinLoG program will automatically open and the necessary changes
can be made. After the changes
have been saved close the WinLoG program.
Once in WinFence again, save the cross-section data and close it.
When you re-open the cross-section all the changes made to the borehole
in WinLoG will appear.
