Place Drillhole
This command allows you to screen pick, enter coordinates or,
locate by station-offset the placement of a drillhole.
Go to Drillhole/Strata
Settings, Place Drillhole
Prompts, to determine how you would like to be prompted.
When you select Place
Drillhole from the Drillhole menu, the command line prompt
shows:
"Station/<Pick Drillhole Location>:" Type in x-y
coordinates or move your pointer around the screen to pick the
placement of the drillhole. To load a centerline file, press S,
select the centerline file to reference, then type in the desired
Station and Offset amount. If you are in Dialog Mode defined
in Drillhole/Strata
Settings, once a location has been selected, the following
dialog box appears:
Place Drillholes generates
drillholes in the drawing that are required to run strata surface
application routines. Each drillhole consists of a surface
elevation, strata, and optional description(s). Every strata has a
name, bottom elevation, thickness. Within a drillhole, the strata
names must be unique, but each real-world strata should have the
same strata name across all the drillholes. This is because strata
surface applications connects together the strata with the same
name.
The drillhole data can be entered in the dialog shown here, or
if Depth or Thickness Mode is selected under Drillhole/Strata Settings, then the
data can be entered in on the command line when you place each
drillhole. Make sure to specify the surface elevation and drillhole
description. While in Dialog Mode or to change data, use the Edit
and Insert/append buttons to enter strata data. The symbols are
defined in DrillHole/Strata Settings and drillhole may be changed
in Edit DrillHole. Pick Save when done and a drillhole symbol is
drawn.
● Edit: Make
changes to the highlighted strata name. Thickness, Bottom
Elevation, Depth.
When placing drillholes, every strata must
be assigned a bottom elevation and a thickness. The bottom
elevation is the elevation of the bottom of the strata. There are
different methods for entering this information.
● Insert Above:

● Append to
Bottom: To add a strata to the bottom of the available

description is predefined and user may define any number of
specific drillhole descriptions. Typical additional descriptions
are DRILLER, DATE, TOWNSHIP, and etc. You will be prompted for
values of these descriptions in Place DrillHole.
● Adjust Bottom
Elevations: Will make adjustments to the bottom
elevation based on thickness changes.
● Adjust Next
Thickness: Will adjust the next thickness to hold the
bottom elevation unchanged.
● Save: This
command saves this drillhole as listed.
● Zoom In: This
increases the magnification of the black view window, cross-section
