How to change the vertical scale for drillhole section and 3D maps.

Joe McPherson

Objective:

I would like to change the vertical exaggeration for a section or 3D map in my drillhole project.

Resolution:

For projects with shallow drill holes, it is sometimes useful to change the vertical scale for section maps and 3D maps.

For Section maps:

  1. DH-Plot menu > Section > OK > Section Location tab.
    In Target for ArcGIS: Target Drillhole toolbar > Generate Target Section Plot > OK > Section Location tab.
  2. Change the Vert Exag parameter.

To create a 3D map:

  1. DH-Plot menu > New 3D view
  2. Add to 3D > Drillholes.
    In Target for ArcGIS: Target Drillhole toolbar > Generate 3D Drillhole Plot > set the parameters as required > OK.
  3. Your drill holes will be displayed in the 3D Viewer. 

To change the scale of the Z axis in the 3D Viewer:

  • Settings menu in 3D Viewer > Tools & Settings > Visualization > Rendering tab > change Scale Z.

For Target for ArcMap:

  • Tools & Settings > 3D Settings > Rendering tab > Change the Scale z
