How do I digitize (boundaries) on my sections?
Solution In Discover 2012, the method for creating and managing your digitizations and interpretations on drillhole cross sections has slightly changed. You can now add "digitize boundary layers" - via the Section Manager, by 1. Selecting the Sections you wish to add a custom layer to 2. And th ...
- How do I plot level or flitch plans?
You can plot level or flitch plans by specifying the parameters in the Drillholes > Create > Generate Plans dialog. 1. Select the drillholes you wish to display in the level plan from the Map Window. 2. Choose Drillhole > Create > Create Generate Plans. 3. Chec ...
- How do I refresh my drillhole data and regenerate a section?
Occurrence Existing drillhole cross-sections and plans may need to be updated after updates and additions to a drillhole projects collar, survey and/or downhole data tables. Examples of changes to these files that may warrant section regeneration include: - new drillholes are added to a p ...
- My drillhole collar positions do not match up with a DEM / DTM grid in the 3D view or drillhole cross-section.
Discover plots the Drillhole collars at the value in the selected elevation field in the collar table. This value can differ from the topographic (DEM/DTM) grid you have selected in the Drillhole project setup. Discover never "auto adjusts" the value for these too match when plotted in a cross ...
- SQLite Error creating section in Discover 2016 or 2017
If an error dialog is thrown when creating Drillhole sections in Discover 2016 or 2017, this most likely is due to a date/time field in one of your Drillhole Project files. This bug was fixed in the Mapinfo Pro 16.0.2 patch which can be downloaded from here - http://www.pbinsight.com/support/pr ...
- Drillhole traces are not plotting correctly
Solution Check the following common issues: Are the drillholes going up into the sky? Have you ticked the 'Down Dip is negative' option in the Drillholes Project Setup dialog? Are the drillholes plotting entirely vertically? Have you set up the correct Dip and Azimuth fields in the Drillholes ...
- How do I highlight different drillhole types on a section, such as Planned holes, or RAB vs RC vs DDH?
Solution A couple of tips that may assist you with the current version of Discover (v2013). 1/. To highlight 'Planned' holes. In addition to adding the planned hole/s' collar (and survey entries if needed) information, add a single lithology entry for each planned hole to the lithology table, ...
- Drillholes intersecting a defined section at depth are not displayed, even when assigning a wide envelope width.
Solution Make sure you check the “Show holes intersecting at depth” box in the Define New Section or Plan dialog. Any holes that intersect the drillhole envelope at depth should then be displayed on your section. If this box is not checked only drillholes which are collared within ...
- Calculation used for generating drillhole cross section
Discover does not plot the raw survey data. Instead an interpolation method known as “mid-point tangential averaging”or “back calculation” is used. This is the only method offered in Discover and is the default method in Discover 3D. Although it is a simple method, it does produce reasonable re ...
- Drillhole sections are displaying end of hole symbols as black squares
Occurrence The collar and end of hole symbols on existing or new sections/plans are displaying as black squares, rather than the correct symbols Solution After upgrading or installing Discover, you will need to restart Windows to ensure the font files are correctly registered. After restarti ...
- Is it possible to create a drill section with an inclined section plane?
A drillhole section can only be plotted with a 90 degree dip (vertical), the section plane cannot be inclined. However in Discover3D the dynamic cursor plane can clip or slice datasets in real time at any angle or position.
- Why are drillhole cross-sections displayed in non-earth co-ordinates in the map window?
Occurrence Drillhole cross-sections created using the Drillholes>Define New Section or Plan menu option display the X axis co-ordinates in non-earth units, rather than real world units (e.g. UTM). Solution MapInfo Pro is a 2D only package, so the section's cannot be shown in their real 3D spa ...
- How do I adjust the height of the surface profile (eg topography, geochemistry, ground magnetics) displayed over a cross section in the layout window?
Solution The easiest way to do this is to use Drillholes > Define New Section or Plan to specify the section. Click the Surfaces button in this dialog to open the Surface Display Selection dialog and add the desired surface to the right-hand window. Tick the Relative Position option and ei ...
