XYZ Columns

The X, Y, Z columns are required if you wish to use the following option:

• Compute Locations

The values in the X, Y, and Z columns correspond to the spatial location (i.e., a point coincident to the plane) of the planar measurement. The X, Y, Z columns can be enabled manually by selecting the X, Y, Z Columns checkbox in the Project Settings dialog. It may also be added automatically, for example when you define Linear Borehole or Curved Borehole Traverses in the Traverse Information dialog.

X, Y, Z Columns Values

• The 3D convention is as follows:

  • Positive X is in the Easting direction
  • Positive Y is in the Northing direction
  • Z is the Elevation
• X, Y, Z units should correspond to the Units selected in Project Settings (meters or feet).

X, Y, Z Columns Position

The X, Y, Z columns are always added as three separate columns in succession.

The X, Y, Z columns are always added after the Orientation, Quantity , Traverse, Set, and Distance columns, and before any Extra Columns. Therefore the X column may be either the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, or eighth column in the spreadsheet, depending on whether Quantity, Traverse, Set, and/or Distance columns exist.

Adding / Removing the X, Y, Z Columns

• The X, Y, Z columns can be added or removed from the spreadsheet through the Project Settings dialog.
• It may be automatically created when you define Linear Borehole or Curved Borehole Traverses in the Traverse Information dialog.
• The Add Column / Remove Column options cannot be used to create or remove the X, Y, Z columns.
