Auto-Validate Options

On the Drillhole tab, in the Validation group: Select Auto-Validate Options to set options which determine how validation is performed whenever a Drillhole Database is opened.

The following check box options are provided:

Check for missing intervals

Select this option if you want to:

  • Check that the first FROM value in the Interval file = 0
  • Check that the sample intervals are continuous in the Interval file

Check for missing holes

Select this option to check that all holes in the Interval file are referenced in the Collar file. If you are using a Survey file, holes will also be referenced in the Survey file. However, vertical holes, or holes with a single survey at the collar, do not need to be in the Survey file.

Allow zero length intervals

Select this option to allow zero length intervals. This may be a requirement during seam modelling, for example, when the thickness of a seam 'pinches' to zero.

To manually validate a Drillhole Database and select additional validation options:

  • On the Drillhole tab, in the Validation group, select Validate Drillhole Database.
