Measurements Properties

This page documents the properties available for measurements in VRGS. These properties appear in the Properties panel when an object of this type is selected.

Measurements​

Properties available for Measurements objects:

Measurements - Name​

Property name: Name
Description (in app): Name of identifier of this object

Measurements - Separation​

Property name: Separation
Description (in app): distance of centre from last centre

Measurements - Cumulative​

Property name: Cumulative
Description (in app): distance of centre from first measurement

Measurements - Length​

Property name: Length
Description (in app): 3D Distance of the line

Measurements - Heave​

Property name: Heave
Description (in app): Map Distance of the line

Measurements - Throw​

Property name: Throw
Description (in app): Vertical Distance of the line

Measurements - Hade (apparent)​

Property name: Hade (apparent)
Description (in app): the angle between the line and a vertical line

Measurements - Distance​

Property name: Distance
Description (in app): Horizontal Distance

Measurements - Dip​

Property name: Dip
Description (in app): Dip

Measurements - Azimuth​

Property name: Azimuth
Description (in app): Azimuth

Measurements - TVT​

Property name: TVT
Description (in app): True Vertical Thickness

Measurements - TST​

Property name: TST
Description (in app): True Stratigraphic Thickness

Measurements - X Position​

Property name: X Position
Description (in app): X Model Co-ordinate of the tie point

Measurements - Y Position​

Property name: Y Position
Description (in app): Y Model Co-ordinate of the tie point

Measurements - Z Position​

Property name: Z Position
Description (in app): Z Model Co-ordinate of the tie point

Measurements - Text Rotation​

Property name: Text Rotation
Description (in app): Rotation of the text in 3D view

Measurements - Color​

Property name: Color
Description (in app): Specifies the color of the measurement. Until changed here it follows the colour for its type in the measurement group properties

What it does
Shows the colour the measurement is drawn in, and sets it. Until you change it here the measurement follows the colour for its type; afterwards it keeps its own.

When to use it
To pick out one measurement. To recolour a whole type, use Measurement Colours on the Measurements branch; see How measurements are drawn.

Orientation Measurement​

Properties available for Orientation Measurement objects:

Orientation Measurement - Auto Calculate Orientation​

Property name: Auto Calculate Orientation
Description (in app): Automatically calculate the dip and azimuth from the digitised data

Orientation Measurement - Name​

Property name: Name
Description (in app): Name of identifier of this object

Orientation Measurement - Plunge​

Property name: Plunge
Description (in app): Plunge Value

Orientation Measurement - Azimuth​

Property name: Azimuth
Description (in app): Azimuth Value

Orientation Measurement - Dip​

Property name: Dip
Description (in app): Dip Value

Orientation Measurement - Set​

Property name: Set
Description (in app): The set to which this object belongs

Orientation Measurement - Unit​

Property name: Unit
Description (in app): The stratigraphic unit the measured bedding lies in

What it does
Names the stratigraphic unit a bedding measurement lies in, chosen from the project's Units list, or the interval it lies in, from the Intervals list listed after them. Shown for bedding measurements only, below Set. Called Stratigraphy in earlier versions. Colouring orientations by Stratigraphy uses the unit's colour.

When to use it
Record which unit a bed was measured in, so measurements can be coloured and filtered by unit. Apply in the Interpretations tab's Active Descriptor gives selected orientations the active unit.

Palaeocurrent​

Properties available for Palaeocurrent objects:

Palaeocurrent - Name​

Description (in app): X Model Co-ordinate of the tie point

Palaeocurrent - Y Position​

Property name: Y Position
Description (in app): Y Model Co-ordinate of the tie point

Palaeocurrent - Z Position​

Palaeocurrent - Dip​

Property name: Dip
Description (in app): Dip Value

Palaeocurrent - Azimuth​

Property name: Azimuth
Description (in app): Azimuth Value
