In today's Tips & Tricks, we are going to introduce you to a very practical tool, the Drillhole Paintbrush Tool. In some cases during geological modeling, after viewing and interpreting the drill holes, a new coding of intervals becomes necessary. As for example in the case of vein modeling, in which the veins are not previously differentiated in the database and from the analysis of the holes, these can be subdivided, the Drillhole Paintbrush Tool will facilitate this process. This tool allows you to interactively modify or add code to an attribute over intervals on the screen using the mouse cursor. This tool is accessed from the intervals menu Geo Tools in MS3D and works in 2D and 3D in both xViewer and standard Viewer windows.
See more about the tool in the video below:
Configuring Paintbrush is easy, just associate it with a Drillhole View and choose the attribute to code and the code and assign a brush width, the tool is then ready to be used, both in 2D and 3D. Furthermore, it is possible to apply filters to restrict ranges to be encoded.
Once the parameters have been configured, the next step is to click on PAINT to interactively paint in the Drillhole View, selecting the ranges you want to encode. As intervals are selected, they will be highlighted making a trail, which can be easily corrected or redone.
The “Commit” option allows automatically saving in the MSTorque database, the value of the code to the selected item for all the highlighted intervals.
That's our tip for today: Drillhole Paintbrush is an excellent collaboration tool, which allows you to simply encode drillhole intervals in order to aid geological modeling.
To the next!!!
