Drillholes

The Drillholes tab is used to configure the Collar and Trace display for the Blast Design.

Collar

Symbol

Double-click the Symbol box to choose a symbol for the collar display. You can source symbols from any TrueType or OpenType font.

Colour Coding

Select this check box to colour code the collars.

Default colour

Double-click (F3) to select the colour that will be used when a Colour field or a Colour set is not defined - or when a value in the Colour field is either not valid or is not mapped in the Colour set.

Colour field

Specify the name of a field which contains the values that will be used to colour-code the display. If you are mapping Colour field values to a Colour Set, the values in the Colour field must be valid RGB, HTML Hex, Hex, or Integer colour definitions.

Format Example
RGB 89,169,215 RGB ordered
HTML Hex #59A9D7 BGR ordered
Hex 0x59a9d7 BGR ordered
Int 5876183 BGR ordered: RED + (GREEN*256) + (BLUE*65536)

You can choose to select colour values directly from the Colour field without selecting a Colour set. In this case, you can also select a formatted Colour field.

You can view and edit the RGB values assigned to the Colour field in the Property Window. Click on the ellipsis to open the Colour picker:

Colour set

To map values in the Colour field to the colour values in a Colour set, double click (F3) to select the set that will be used to control the display colour. Right-click (F4) to create or edit a Colour set.

Display Trace

Select this check box to display each blasthole trace in a nominated colour, line type and thickness.

Accept the default Trace Thickness or select a trace line thickness from the drop down list. An extensive selection of custom widths (in millimetres) are available for selection.

Select a Line Type from the drop down. A preview of each line type is shown in the drop-down list. A variety of solid, dotted, and dashed line styles are available for selection.

Note: Extended line styles such as double lines are not compatible with 2D plots (they will render as a solid line) and will only display properly in Vizex and 3D Vizex plots (and screenshots). Extended line styles are displayed in blue in the Line Type drop down.
