  • Drillhole Manager: when all wells are filtered out, still be able to open manager
  • Internal Error when export from 3D View (TrPolymesh.cpp)

Surfer Beta1 22.0.68 (May 5, 2021)

New features and Improvements:

  • New Layer Type: 2D Drillhole layer shows drillhole locations, deviation paths and bottom hole location
  • 3D View: display drillhole layers in the 3D view to show trajectories, paths, interval data, point data, and labels/leader lines
  • Drillhole Manager stores and displays all the drillhole data

  • Base layer: Coordinates: when you move a polygon into base layer, the tracker isn't visible
  • Convert Layer: converting to 3D surface creates empty map
  • Coordinates Page marker tracker incorrect after moving shape within a Base Map
  • Coordinates Page vertices do not update when moving shapes within a Group within a Base Map
  • Crash after closing when displaying drop-down from Properties control
