Wireframes

Draping Options

A number of options have been added to the Draping tab in the Wireframe display options form.

The Clip to Image option when selected, will clip the wireframe to the image extents, making the wireframe outside of the image invisible. The same effect can also now be achieved by setting the wireframe colour to NULL.

The Transparent Colour option allows you to pick a colour to make transparent and set a Tolerance value for the transparency.

If both options are enabled, the wireframe will be made invisible, and only the transparent sections of the image will be seen.

Wireframe Name Expression

A button has been added to the Wireframe name boxes that allows the use of Expressions to name wireframes when ad hoc sets are supported.

When a name or wildcard is entered in the Name field, and the Expression button is selected, the name/wildcard will automatically be converted to a valid expression when opened in the editor.

Incremental Solids Improvements

The Coordinate Extent dialog fields on the Incremental Solids form on the Wireframe tab, in the Operations group have been replaced the with an extents grid.

The Edit Extents button has also been added to allow interactive edits of the extents. See Edit Extents.

Surface to Solid Improvements

The Surface to Solid tool on the Wireframe tab, in the Operations group has been improved with support added for one or two surfaces, multiple offset methods and a tolerance value as well as a simplified user interface.

A preview of the selected offset method has also been added and the Flatten option is available for both Top and Bottom surfaces.

Pierce Points Add Output to DHDB

The Add output to the database option has been added to the Wireframe Pierce Points tool.

When the Wireframe Pierce Points input is a Drillhole Database, and this option is enabled, the output file (Event or Interval) will be added to the drillhole database.

The Autoload to Vizex option has also been added to the Pierce points form.

Calculate Wireframe Thickness

The Wireframe Thickness tool has been added to Wireframe | Calculations to enable the calculation and storing of the thickness of any wireframe per vertex. This allows wireframes to be coloured by thickness.

Thickness can be calculated relative to a local plane, a global (best fit) plane, or a global user defined plane.
