Import Bore-Hole Data: GEOL_BOREHOLELOGGER – GeoTools Command

Key Features Include:

• Import Borehole Data from ASCII Files:
  • Load borehole collar data from a structured ASCII file.
  • Supports multiple column delimiters (e.g., comma, semicolon) for data parsing.
  • Option to mark the first row as a description header for clarity.
• Borehole Representation in CAD:
  • Create boreholes as blocks using predefined GEOL_BORE_HOLE_BLOCK_COLLAR symbols.
  • Option to generate solid boreholes in 3D with adjustable outer diameter and thickness.
  • Assign boreholes to a specific CAD layer (e.g., BORE_HOLES).
• Customizable Data Mapping:
  • Assign column numbers for:
    • Borehole Name
    • X (Easting), Y (Northing), and Z (Height) positions
    • Azimuth (Strike) and Dip (Angle from Horizontal)
    • Depth (or drill length) of the borehole
• Flexible Attribute Mapping:
  • Map additional custom attributes from ASCII columns for advanced borehole analysis.
• Efficient Workflow Options:
  • Draw boreholes in CAD immediately.
  • Save settings and exit for future data imports.

Benefits:

This tool is essential for exploration geology, mineral resource estimation, and geotechnical site investigations, ensuring precise borehole placement and data management in CAD environments.
