Build Drillholes Dialog

Defining trace settings when creating dynamic and optional static drillholes

To access this screen:

  • Display the Define Hole Tables screen and click Rebuild....

  • Sample Analysis ribbon >> Desurvey >> Dynamic >> Build Dynamic.

Define hole trace settings during the creation (or recreation) of dynamic or static drillholes.

A collars and survey table (as a minimum) must be defined to build holes. See Define Holes.

When creating Static Drillholes via the Build Holes dialog, a static holes overlay will be added to all views (including Plots window views). For more information on how your application  uses overlays to represent views of objects, see View Hierarchy.

To build drillholes from specified component tables:

  1. Choose if a new trace will be created for every drillhole defined within the supporting tables used to build the drillholes (as specified with the Define Hole Tables dialog):

    • If Create new traces for all holes is checked, a new trace is created for every hole.

    • If Use existing traces and only desurvey new holes is unchecked, data is created for holes that are not currently represented as static (desurveyed) holes, preserving existing desurveyed data. You should select this option if you have:

      • Changed the table definitions and field assignments of assays, lithology and other log tables.

      • Imported new log tables.

  2. Decide if you want to generate static drillholes when building holes (see Drillhole Representation).

    • If Create Static Drillholes is checked, you will create static drillholes from the dynamic drillhole tables during the hole building process.

    • If Create Static Drillholes is unchecked, dynamic drillholes are created, based on component tables.

    If you choose to create static data, the following options become available:

    1. Add samples for each survey point: if checked, add additional sample intervals at survey points

    2. Remove Dynamic Holes: remove the dynamic drillholes object from memory after the static drillholes object has been created.
