Summary

The GEOL_BOREHOLESTRATA command in GeoTools is used to import, process, and visualize borehole stratigraphy data in CAD environments. It is a critical tool for geologists, mining engineers, and geotechnical professionals working in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander.

GeoTool -> Geological/Mining Tools -> Bore-Hole -> Draw bore-hole cross-section strata

Key Features Include:

• Borehole Strata Data Import & Processing:
  • Load borehole strata/seams definition files from structured CSV data.
  • Supports multiple borehole entries in a single parameter file.
  • Customize delimiters and comment characters for CSV parsing.
• Strata Column Mapping & Data Positioning:
  • Assign column positions for key borehole attributes, including:
    • Borehole Name/Number
    • Strata Code/Name
    • From Level & To Level
    • Recovery Percentage & Recovery Total
    • Starting Row Number for data extraction
• Graphical Borehole Representation:
  • Specify text height for annotations.
  • Define borehole diameter for visual scaling.
  • Assign a dedicated CAD layer (e.g., BORE_HOLE_STRATA) for structured data visualization.
  • Option to connect lithographic sections for continuous geological interpretation.
• Visualization & Analysis Tools:
  • Draw 2D Section View to display cross-sectional strata in CAD.
  • Attach Data to Boreholes for enhanced geospatial analysis.

Benefits:

This tool is ideal for subsurface geological modeling, mining exploration, and soil profile analysis, providing an efficient way to interpret borehole stratigraphy in CAD.
