CoreViewer

Use this option to view core photos for a selected drillhole in a linked database via the ALS CoreViewer^TM portal. Vulcan users with a Webtrieve^TM account can use this option to view remotely stored data where web service is available. This integration allows users to view source information as part of their Vulcan model, quickly visualise core data in 3D, and interpret other drillhole data alongside core photos.

Important:  A drillhole database must be loaded prior to using this option. You should use a prepared core legend (DRILL colour scheme type, see Analyse > Legend Editor... for more information) to display the drillholes. You will also need to know your ALS project name and encryption code for your CoreViewer database containing the core photos for the drillholes of interest (named consistently between Vulcan and CoreViewer), as well as your Webtrieve account login information. Contact your local ALS office for access to CoreViewer.
