Stacked Section

On the Drillhole tab, in the View group: Click Stacked Section to display drillholes in a plan view with the collars in their correct positions, and traces drawn in plan as if looking in the selected direction.

This function is particularly well suited to section displays in which there are regularly spaced, shallow drillholes.

Note that the view works on one or more drillhole layers, which must be loaded in Vizex, for the section view to be shown.

The view will show the collars in their correct positions, and show hole cross sections drawn in plan as if looking in the direction selected.

Drillhole Database

Double-click (or click on the Select icon) to select from a list of drillhole databases in the current project.

Press F5 to create a new drillhole database. Press F4 to edit a drillhole database you have selected.

View

You can view the sections from any cardinal (North, South, East, West) direction, or from an oblique direction as defined by the azimuth value you enter.

Downhole surveys

Select this option to use survey information when displaying the holes in the stacked section.

Depth factor

Use the Depth factor to control the height of the sections so they will “stack” in the display and plot without overlapping, or without being too small to be useful.

Vertical exaggeration is accomplished by entering a value greater than 1.
