Creating and defining sections
For a data set, defining single section effectively defines a complete family of sections. If drilling data extends between the northings 1000N and 2000N, a single EW section at 1000N (or 2000N or 1356N), with a section width of 100 meters, will create 11 EW sections. The entire family of sections is contained in a single section view.
Horizontal (benched), inclined and vertical sections can be set up quickly using the section wizard by selecting the section type, section azimuth, section width and the center point coordinate of any one of the sections. The creation of plan and 3D views is a simple one step process.
Having created the default section, plan or 3D view, the section definition, page size and view settings can then be modified as required. Changes made to the section definition can be displayed dynamically to give the user immediate feedback on the effect of changing one or more settings.
The section may also be redefined or repositioned interactively by picking the center point or end points of a new section in an existing view, or snapping to a particular hole collar or sample.
Much of the hierarchical structure of a particular sheet can be stored in template form. This minimizes the effort required to generate a consistent look and feel across a range of presentation projects by automatically generating a standard arrangement of sheets, projections and, if required, data object overlays. |
