Drillhole/Strata
Settings
Function
This
command selects drillhole symbols, defines strata, and determines how
you place drillholes.
Note:
The
order in which
the Strata are defined in the Strata Definitions list will be the
default order for the strata when you create new drillholes through Place
Drillhole.
The dialog box
below shows the layout of the Drillhole and Strata
Settings.
●
Select Symbol: Select a
symbol
to represent the drillhole location on the screen.
● Symbol Name:
This name corresponds to the symbol selected.
● Symbol Size:
This field can be editted to adjust the symbols size displayed on the
screen.
● Strata
Definitions:
This is not directly editable. Select the Strata you are
interested by highlighting it, then select the Edit button.
● Add:
This option adds additional strata to the available Strata name
list. See Edit Strata dialog box below.
●
Edit:
Similar
to Add, this
option is available to make changes to the Strata, including adding a
swell factor.
●
Strata Name: The
name of the
strata.
Density (lbs/ft3): The Strata
Density field is the default
density used
to calculate strata tons. Density is strata-specific.
●
By Depth: This option
will generate a strata surface by modeling the strata depth values in
the drillholes. This strata surface will follow the existing
ground surface at the model depth.
●
By Strata Elevation: This
option will generate a strata model that connects strata irrespective
of the upper surface elevation changes.
●
Remove: This will remove a
strata name from the available strata.
● Move Up: This
option will move the selected strata name up one place in the strata
name list.
● Move Down: This
option will move the selected strata name down one place in the strata
name list.
●
By Strata Elev: This method will
generate a strata surface by modeling the strata elevation values from
the drillholes. This strata surface is independent of the existing
ground surface.
● Place Drillhole
Prompts: If Depth is selected, then when you run Place
Drillholes you will be prompted for the depth of each strata in your
drillhole. If Thickness is selected, you will be prompted for the
thickness of each strata. If Dialog is selected, you will go
straight into the Place Drillhole dialog when you create a drillhole.
● Default Last Thickness:
Will set the thickness of your bottom strata to the same amount
for all your drillholes.
