Stereonet3D plots lines, planes and small circles on equal area or equal angle stereonets. The program can also plot the data in 3D, and if the data have lat-long info, on a map/satellite view. Stereonet3D can perform various operations on the data including calculating angles, fixed or variable axes rotations, contouring, statistical and fault slip analyses. Data with lat-long info can be exported to kml. Stereonet3D is a great tool to learn and use stereographic projections.
more Just downloaded and started using this for my Field Camp Mapping. It’s a straightforward program, and I love that it will export to Google Earth files, and will read directly from text files!

Significant improvements to the Map view:
1. Add scale bar.
2. Map image produced by drag and drop, contains scale bar and north direction.
3. Symbols have a reasonable size at all scales. A damping factor is added to avoid symbols growing too much with zoom.
4. Annotations are properly placed: In front of the dip tick for planes, and in front of the arrow for lines.
6.9 Apr 5
- Rotate data and Variable rotation menus now work with more than one dataset.
- Rose diagram menu only activates with lines or planes datasets have entries
6.8 Mar 25
. Fixed a bug introduced in the previous version 6.6, where the selection of two datasets was not recognized. This affected the line on plane, arcs between lines, and fault kinematics menus.
. Fixed a bug in the line on plane operation, where the trend and plunge of the corrected line were not written.
6.7 Mar 23
. Document window allows toggling the Data view (command+D) and Annotations view (command+T).
. In the Inspector -> Stereonet view, add a color well to set the fill color of the primitive circle
. In the Inspector -> Contours view, add a check box to smooth the contours as in Vollmer (1995)
. Lines with filled or gray symbols are now plotted with a white outline. These make them more clear.
. Fix the coloring of the contours to use the whole range of the color scale bar.
. In the 3Dview Ctrl + click now works and disable drawing of lines and planes inside the bowl.
. Small circle button (+SC) in the Data view now has a correct tip tool saying "Add Small Circles dataset"
. Numerous optimizations.
. Numerous fixes for deprecated methods.
6.6 Mar 17
Fix a bug: Contours are no longer drawn outside the stereonet view.
6.5 11/14/2024
. Remove data and info drawers and instead have them in the same window. Drawers are a neat solution but they were deprecated long ago.
. Small Circles are now datasets and can be added using the +SC button.
. Overturned planes can be indicated by the letter combination OV under the dip quadrant column. Poles to overturned planes point upwards (they have negative plunge).
. The key modifier for drag and drop of the Stereonet and Map View is now the command key. The previous Shift key conflicted with the functionality of the Map View.
. Strike of planes or Trend of lines in quadrant format (e.g. S30E) is now read properly when parsing a text file.
. Fixed lots of deprecated code.
. Update the Help document accordingly. Stereonet3D still uses the Help Indexer but there can be issues updating to the latest Help document. Please let me know if you find some.
. Minimum deployment is macOS 10.13
. Compiled in Xcode 15.2

5.7 12/18/2017
Improve the functionality of the Fault slip analysis submenus
. Compute fault slip analysis only if striae are on fault plane within 2 degrees error

. Beach ball diagram from two ad hoc T and P axes: This is great to quickly create a beach ball diagram
. Add a menu to remove arcs and beach ball diagrams from fault slip analysis
5.6 12/18/2017
This is a major update:
. Allow for multiple cylindrical best fits, conical fits, and mean vectors. This is useful for comparing fits to different datasets.
. If in default view, change the background grid when entering lines or planes as poles (picking great circle) on the plot. This provides an intuitive understanding of the stereonet.
. Emailed data from iPhone Apps StereonetMobile and FaultKinMobile by Richard Allmendinger can be imported to Stereonet3D as a text file.
. Add a Slip Sense column to lines datasets to specify sense of slip of striae on fault plane.
. Under the Plot menu, new fault slip analysis group of menus including: a. HW slip direction, b. Movement planes, c. Tangent lineation, d. T and P axes, e. Unweighted Moment tensor sum, and fault plane solution.
