Borehole Data is a Content type used to represent boreholes and measurements recorded along their depth. A borehole dataset can combine lithology, geophysical measurements, structural data, and assay results with the borehole trajectory.

Importing Borehole Data

Import borehole data through the Data Import Wizard. The standard Import Boreholes workflow uses separate CSV files for collar, survey, and attribute data. See Import Formats for the available borehole import options.

Borehole Components

• Collar is the starting point of a borehole at the surface and can be displayed with a collar indicator.
• Path is the borehole trajectory, typically defined by survey data.
• Attributes are values recorded along the borehole, such as lithology, geophysical measurements, or assay results.

The Drillhole Inspector controls the selected attribute, colormap, thickness, labels, and collar indicators. Attributes can be mapped to a Drillhole Colormap to distinguish values along the borehole traces.
