Managing and Stylizing Drill Hole Data

Stylizing Based on Attribute

The Manage Drill Holes function works by accessing the all the custom properties of objects within a collections (this includes all sub-collections within a master collection) By doing this, you can pick and choose which drill holes you want to stylize by moving them around into collections as you see fit. In general, you will mostly be using the Drill Hole Collection that is brought in via the Import Drill Holes function. From here, you can stylize both numerical and categorical interval data.

1. Under Drilling click the drop down arrow for Manage Drill Holes

2. Choose the collection holding your drill hole data (This will be called Drill Hole Collection if it has not been renamed)

3. Choose the attribute you would like to plot from the populated list. This list will contain every column from the CSV you used to import the drill holes.

4. Select a color map. note the color map options will adjust based on weather your selected column is numerical or categorical.

5. Choose a desired size (circumference of the cylinders along the drill trace). This defaults to '5' which is generally a good place to start.

6. Utilize the optional check boxes:

• Normalize color mapping:
  • This method uses the Interquartile Range (IQR) which adjusts the color mapping range based on the middle 50% of the data.
  • Bounds are calculated as:
    • Lower Bound = Q1 - (scaling_factor × IQR)
    • Upper Bound = Q3 + (scaling_factor × IQR)
  • This Focuses the color gradient on core data trends without excluding any values, making subtle differences more recognizable.
  • Increasing the Scaling Factor will increase the upper the lower bounds of the data range, thus creating a color map where outliers are highlighted more
