Logs

Right-click commands for a log under the Logs branch of the Data Tree, which holds the project's geological logs. The branch header shows the standard group menu. The Curves node under it lists the geophysical curves loaded into the project and has no menu. Double-click a log to open it in its own window; see the Geological Logging guide.

Source resources: IDR_DT_LOGS.

Item Context Menu​

Right-click a log under the Logs branch.

Display properties​

Select the Logs branch header. These rows apply to every log in the project. What the panel rows do is described in The log in the 3D view.

PropertyDefaultDescription
Log UnitsOnShow the log's beds.
Track Unit Width0.5Width, in metres, that the coarsest grain size reaches in the 3D view.
Deviation Nodes0.2Size of the nodes of the log's path.
Pick Markers0.2Size of the pick markers.
Correlation LinesOnJoin each correlation pick to the same pick on the next log of its panel.
Correlation Line Width2Width of those lines on screen, in pixels.
Well LocationOnShow the surface position of the log.
Surface Marker size1Size of that marker.
Preview TSTOffShow every log in true stratigraphic thickness.
WireframeOffShow the polyline wireframe.
Primary DisplayGrainsizeWhat sets the width of a Prism column: Grainsize, Facies, Facies Association, Unit Colour or a generic class list.
Secondary DisplayGrainsizeWhat sets the colour of a bed, in a Prism column or a panel: Grainsize, Facies, Facies Association or Unit Colour.
Log StyleDeviatedDeviated, TVT, TST, Vertical or Vertical 2D: where the log's column stands, and in which thickness.
Column StylePanelPanel draws the log as its 2D grain-size track; Prism draws each bed as a column as wide as its grain size. Vulkan view; the OpenGL view always draws prisms.
Panel Lift0How far each panel is drawn towards you, in metres. 0 is one Track Unit Width.
Panel FacingCameraCamera turns each panel about its line to face you; Outcrop lays it along the rock. A log on no model still faces the camera.
Panel PatternsOnEach bed's facies pattern.
Panel SymbolsOnEach bed's structure and fossil symbols.
Panel Depth RulerOnA depth scale down the panel's line.
Panel Grain-size GridOnFaint lines up the panel at the grain-size classes.
Panel Backing0.5Opacity of the white paper behind the panel, 0 to 1.
Panel Opacity1Opacity of the whole panel, 0 to 1.
Panel PalaeocurrentsOnAn arrow beside each bed for each palaeocurrent, in its true azimuth.
Panel Bed DipsOffA dip disc beside each bed whose dip and azimuth were measured.
Panel Log NameOnThe log's name over the top of its panel.
Panel Interval NamesOffEach interval named at its top, right of the panel.
Panel Contact TicksOffA short line across the outcrop at each bed's base.
Panel Extra TrackNoneA second track right of the grain sizes: None, Facies, Facies Association or Intervals.

The Geophysical Logs sub-group holds Deviation Width, Curve Width and Curve Direction.
