Review on Dips by Tom Goodlow

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Using "dip " for plotting out multiple cross-sections

I like that it allows one to view 2D, 3d or 4 dimensional images with ease within an excel sheet without having any software installed prior (which was my problem before).

It does not have all features available when using other programs such as GeoMedia Pro but works great nonetheless! Easy to use once you get used to how the interface looks/works - no special training required! Would be nice if there were some better tutorials online about tips & tricks so users can make their own customizations to suit specific needs they may encounter along their way through learning this product; however, these are things which could easily remedy over time given enough practice. If your looking into viewing various types of geologic maps then Dip's should definitely fit right at home here since its built specifically towards doing just what we need done.

Pros
  • Great for creating different visuals including topographic map views
  • Very easy to follow instructions provided in tutorial videos throughout site.
  • Allows creation / editing from Excel spreadsheet via simple drop down menus instead requiring separate program installation beforehand
  • Ability provide multiple perspectives by rotating image around axis' while keeping same data points visible
Cons
  • There are disadvantages
