Description

Use this command to see which samples contributed to the estimation of a parent cell. This command can be used to interrogate regular models or sub-celled models, although only parent cell information will be reported.

Before you run this command, both these data objects must be loaded:

• A block model (regular or sub-cell type)
• A SAMPOUT points file, such as that produced by the ESTIMA process (and also by the Advanced Estimation wizard, where SAMPOUT is an optional output file)

The loaded model can be rendered using any display type, although an intersection with a nominated 3D section is recommended. Once both the model and the corresponding SAMPOUT file are loaded, you can run the command to activate 'block selection mode'. Click anywhere within a model cell (parent or sub-cell) and left-click to display a 3D hull representing the boundary of the selected cell in 3D (see image above).

Also displayed are the sample points that contribute to the estimation of the selected cell.

Display the SAMPOUT file using either scaled (e.g. x6) symbols in either 2D or 3D to make them easier to see. For more information on point file formatting in the 3D window, see Points Properties - Symbols Tab It can also be useful to apply labels to the SAMPOUT points, for example, to show the FIELD name, or the XC/YC/ZC values.

 

If a sub-cell is selected, the hull of the respective parent cell is displayed plus information relating to the parent cell.

For a sub-cell model equivalent of this command, see show-samples-subcells

How to Use

1. Load model and SAMPOUT file.

2. Run the command.

3. Left-click the cell you wish to interrogate

4. When you are finished, click Done.
