Log View Properties - Hole

Accessing this dialog:

  • Right-click a log view and select Properties.

  • Right-click a log view entry in the Sheets window - Logs folder, and select Properties....

The Log View Hole Properties dialog is a multi-tab menu for the configuration of log views.

This tab, Hole, is used to configure the basic formatting properties that apply to the display of the log data, and contains the following options:

Field Details:

Current Hole: select the name of the hole from this drop-down list. For imported files, this description is derived from the field mapped to the default Borehole ID (BHID) field expected by your application. On selection of a hole description from this list, a 'Length' value is added, denoting the FROM-TO length of the selected hole, according to the underlying data.

Extents: the relevant length of the hole, for the purposes of the log view display. You can display as much, or as little, of the recorded downhole sample data as is required for your data presentation. In this area, you have three choices:

  • Entire Hole: display the entire hole in the log view, encompassing the full range of FROM-TO depth intervals.

  • Automatic: if set to Automatic, the view of the log display will be at the system default scale.

  • Custom: specify your own maximum FROM-TO extents. This has the effect of scaling the view of data in the log view. Specify a boundary From and To value.

Scale: choose from either Automatic or Custom options. Automatic will display the log view in whichever view is dictated by the settings in the Extents field, above. Selecting Custom allows you to define your own scale as ratio (1:n). By selecting the Locked check box, subsequent log viewing operations will not affect the scale specified here.

Initial extents when hole changes: this group of commands determines how the log view is updated when the underlying data for the hole change, for example, as triggered by the loading or refreshing of data. The following options are available:

  • Entire hole: display the entire hole in the log view, encompassing the full range of FROM-TO depth intervals.

  • Automatic: if set to Automatic, the view of the log display will be at the system default scale.

  • Same as previous hole: when data changes, set the formatting to whatever is relevant to the hole immediately preceding it, according to the index defined by the virtual index based on the BHID description.

  • Invert display for up holes: if selected, holes that are defined as 'inverted' (that being, where a collar position is of a lower elevation that the corresponding end-of-hole (EOH) position for the same hole entity) will enforce the log view to be mirrored around the horizontal axis (including the display of images) so that the log split is a true representation of the geometrical alignment of the hole.

  • Always invert display: select this option to override the Invert display for up holes (see above) property, and invert the current log view regardless of the relationship between collar and EOH positions.
