Displaying drill holes in 3D using DH-Plot > 3D Map is a convenient way to create a 3D map, complete with a legend, showing selected holes,
topography, and two types of data. Here, as may often be done in a 2D section, lithology has been plotted as a Rock pattern and gold assays are
displayed as a Bar plot. It is easy for this to become cluttered, making it hard to see significant characteristics in your data.
In order to start from a cleaner, less cluttered view of your data, try this instead:
1. Use DH-Plot > 3D Map to create the 3D map of the selected holes in the drillhole project, but leave the Data tab blank. For an even cleaner starting
point, try turning off the "Depth Ticks".
2. In the 3D Viewer, select the Add to 3D > Drillholes menu option. Instead of plotting the geology as a Rock pattern, display only important
geological intervals using discrete values in a Text band.
Discrete intervals in the Number bands option is also a good way to display significant ranges from assay results.
3. In order to display other types of data using the Add to 3D > Drillholes menu option, first rename the existing group. Then you can toggle this layer
on and off as you build your 3D data groups.
Now use the Add to 3D > Drillholes menu option to add more geology intervals or other downhole data.
4. Finally, add the Topography grid to help orient your 3D view relative to the surface.

Direct Gridding
New in Oasis montaj 7.3 and Target 7.3, and a fast and useful gridding algorithm: Direct Gridding.
Direct Gridding can be used to create a grid from highly sampled data without using any interpolation. You can use the minumum, maximum, or mean
value in the cell. It is also a great way to make a grid from regularly sampled data. I used this to grid global topography from a large XYZ file.

The Replot Holes option has fewer parameters than the standard Plan and Section tools. It only updates the drillhole groups and does not overwrite or
create a new map. This makes it useful for tasks such as adding proposed holes that were added to the project or updating the data being plotted along
the trace when new logs or lab results are ready.
Use these buttons to quickly view the 3D model from a cardinal direction, above or below, OR set your own inclination and declination viewing angle.

On one project, I set up a little script to do it for me. It was simple to create (learn more about scripting in this video!), saved time, and prevented the
possibility of making small but costly errors if I were to do it manually each day.

Today's tip: In Oasis montaj, Target, and Extensions for ArcGIS, you can now use the 3D view clipping tools to clip all 3D object types, including:
drillholes, symbols, grids and surfaces. You can also select and clip multiple groups at once.

A Mask channel generally holds binary data and is usually of data type byte. Mask channels will either contain the value (usually 1) or dummy (*). The
Class for mask channels is indicated by MASK in the Edit Channel dialog.
If a row is populated with the value 1 for the Mask channel, that data is not being masked. When the row has a * in the mask, it is only masked if the
user selects the mask option.
Collar database
The Mask channel in the collar database works differently than the Mask channel in other drillhole databases. In drillhole projects, the Mask channel in
the collar database indicates which holes are selected. Selected holes will have a value of 1 for the Mask channel and unselected holes will have a
dummy (*). There are several different ways to select and unselect drillholes. These options are found under:

Only drillholes that are selected will be included in output plots. Additionally, processing like 3D gridding and Channel Math will only be performed on
selected holes.
The Mask channel in from-to or point drillhole databases works differently than the mask channel in the collar database. In these types of databases,
the Mask channel can be used to mask data that is being plotted. You first have to indicate that you want to use the Mask channel for plotting/export.
This is done through:
DH-Data menu > Preferences > Use mask channel for plotting/export?
Target Drillhole toolbar > Target Project > Preferences > Use mask channel for plotting/export?
If this parameter is set to Yes, you can mask data that is displayed in plots. For example, the below plan map was created showing a single drillhole
trace and the rock patterns along the trace. No data is being masked in the geology from-to database.
You can adjust the values in the Mask channel for all the holes in the project using some of the other selection tools. Lets say that you only want to
plot the rock types Ca and Sif on your output map.

Other selection tools that can be used for from-to and point databases are:

When creating the contours for the grid, modify the Options:
In Oasis montaj and Target, the contour option is found under Map Tools > Contour > Contour. Once the contours are added to the map, select the
contour group in the View/Group Manager Tool and export the selection to a 3D Shapefile through Map > Export > ArcView Shapefile.
MapInfo users can export the contour group to a TAB file and the Z value will be the value of the contour level.
In Target for ArcGIS, the contour option is found on the Target Surface toolbar. In Geochemistry for ArcGIS, the contour option is found in the
Gridding menu. Both Target for ArcGIS and Geochemistry for ArcGIS allow you to create the contours directly in Shapefile format.
Geosoft 3D Viewer and 3D DXF export
The 3D Shapefile can be added to the Geosoft 3D Viewer (Add to 3D menu > Imports). The 3D Shapefile displayed in the 3D Viewer can be exported to
a 3D DXF (Export menu > AutoCAD DXF File).

Often you'll find it is necessary to recreate a plan map, section map or strip log with only a few changes to the parameters that were used to create the
map. This can be difficult to do from the menu options if the settings in the multi-tabbed dialogs have been changed while creating other maps.
However, the original settings used to create a map can be accessed and used to recreate the map, or create a new updated map. Heres how:
1. Select the collar database as the active table to ensure the map is linked to the drillhole project.

Replot holes
For Plan and Section maps, you can use the "Replot Holes" function from the DH-Plot menu to update the map. This is similar to the above tip but the
replot dialog has fewer parameters that can be changed for the active map because it only updates the groups and does not create a new map.
For example, this function could be used to plot proposed holes that were added to the project or to change the data being plotted along the trace.
Profiles of the coordinate channels (x,y) help to quickly identify location errors from missing values, reversed x and y coordinates, or simple typos. Line
data coordinates usually have smooth and consistently increasing (or decreasing) profiles.
Profiles of the data can be used to look for strange values and noise. Selecting any suspicious locations in the profile window will jump to that location
in the database table.
I often select the line header cell and use the Page Up and Page Down keys to scroll between adjacent lines in the database for a quick way to review the
data.
If this data format is being collected regularly, then saving the database view (Database > Save Working View...) makes the review of data channels
more efficient next time.
