Format 3D Columns
To access this dialog:
-
In the Drillholes Properties dialog, select the Columns tab. Either insert or format a downhole column and select an attribute to report.
-
Select the attribute to be displayed as labels in the Format Display dialog's Labels | Style tab. More...
Note: A Datamine eLearning course is available that covers functions described in this topic. Contact your local Datamine office for more details.
The Format Dialog
This dialog is used to configure 3D downhole formatting for loaded drillhole data (static or dynamic) and is also used, in a cut-down form to design labels for plot items.
By the time this dialog is displayed, you will have already selected either a drillhole object or plot feature attribute to be displayed.
There are several formatting visual styles available, with supporting options. A restricted selection is available for certain plot features such as lines. See below for more details.
The general procedure is:
-
Select the attribute to be configured
-
Select a Style from the drop-down list.
-
Edit the properties that the selected style supports (see below).
-
Apply the formatting.
-
You can reinstate default values for the currently selected style by clicking Reset.

Drillholes, Object Filters, Columns and Column Filters
Drillhole data objects are often coupled with 'downhole column' data to provide more information about the drillhole data. This could be in the form of a histogram, listed grade values, braces, bar charts etc. Downhole columns are formatted separately (using this Format Column dialog) from the actual 3D drillhole data (using the Drillholes Folder).
View filtering can be applied
to any object in memory, including drillholes, to control the data that
is displayed at any one time. This is controlled by a filter expression
which can be defined by various methods, including the
However, the situation is slightly more complex where a 'column' filter exists; all downhole columns can be associated with their own filter (using the Filter menu). In this case, 3D downhole formatting (the downhole 'column' will only be shown if it passes both the object-level and column-level filters.
For example; if a drillhole object was filtered in the Data Object Manager to only show data where X>150, only column and drillhole data would be shown above the 150 position. If an AU downhole column was set to show results only where AU>1.0, downhole column data would only be shown grade values exceed 1.0 ppm and only for unfiltered data (above 150 in X).
