There are a number of functions you can use to analyse drillhole data in section, plan, or hole by hole. These displays can also handle data such as underground channel sampling or trenches.

Drillhole traces can be viewed in any orientation with clipping planes positioned either side of the section. The line representing the trace can be colour coded by using a Numeric or Character field in any associated Interval file.

The collar and end of hole can be annotated using various options and further detail on either side of the trace can include:

Depth
Distance from the section
Multiple text values, individually colour coded
Symbols
Bar and line graphs
Hatching with complete control over offset, width, pattern and colour
Lines representing the apparent dip of a structure

In many cases the display can also include background data such as seams, faults and outcrops, images, outlines and gridded surfaces.

Note that some display properties may be viewed and edited in the Vizex Property Window:
