Format Log Columns
To access this screen:
- Display the Log View Properties screen and select the Columns tab.
Define downhole columns that sit alongside either strip log information or a loaded drillhole object.
This screen differs from the Format Downhole screen in that this log sheet-specific instance contains a list of attributes that can be used to define log sheet formatting, whereas in the 3D window equivalent, an attribute is selected from a static or dynamic drillhole object beforehand. Otherwise the functionality is very similar.
Note: The other difference is that a log sheet can only display information for a dynamic drillhole, whereas the Format Downhole screen can be used to configure formatting for both static and dynamic drillhole types.
Formatting Styles
The following display styles are available for 3D downhole columns. Access them via the Style menu at the top of the Format Downhole Column screen:

Display the Columns screen.
-
Using the Columns in View list, select an attribute to format.
-
Format the column using one of the available options:
-
Up/Down – Adjust the position of the highlighted column in the Columns in View list (see above). If your data column is set to Overlap previous column, it will always overlap the column immediately above it in the list. Columns are drawn in a left-right order on the sheet (corresponding to up-down in the Columns in View list) so reordering here can be used to change the position of the log column on the sheet.

Delete – Remove the column selected in the Columns in View list.

Add – Add a new column to the log sheet, using the Column Wizard.
-
Copy – Add a copy of the selected column. Each copy is added to the bottom of the Columns in View list, but can be reordered (see above).
