Import Dip/Azimuth

This command imports dip and dip azimuth survey data that does not match the strata sample interval. For example, if a limestone core is quality sampled on 2' intervals, but the dip and azimuth readings are taken on a 5' interval, this command can be used to keep track of the drillhole dip without modifying the sample interval. This command will import the dip/azimuth information to each drillhole's Dip/Azimuth Table rather than applying the dip/azimuth values as new strata attributes.

When the command is executed, you will be prompted to select the drillholes to update. After selecting the drillholes, you will be prompted to select a text file containing the dip/azimuth data. The file must include the drillhole name or the drillhole Northing/Easting. After selecting the file, the below dialog will appear. Here you can specify which keyword matches each column in the text file. To add the dip/azi information, you must specify the top/bottom depth values or thickness values for each sample.
