Database

This section allows users to select the points or lines from a design database that contain non-directional data, points from a design database that contain directional data, and points from a drillhole database that may or may not contain directional data.


Use drillhole database

This allows selecting points from a drillhole database that may or may not contain information of the fault surface direction at each point.

Select a drillhole database from an isis file or an OBDC design file and specify the Fault table and Fault field containing the name of the fault.

The Fault name in this section is to check if the name matches to the fault name on the top of the panel.

Use directional information

This is optional and can be used to specify the names of the field containing dip and dip direction.

Design Data with Dip/Dip Direction Attributes

Choose this option to select a design database with dip and dip direction attributes. This is similar to geotechnical structural object information where object’s position, dip, and dip direction are defined.

Note:  For direction data, store dip in the point name and dip direction in the point W tag.

Design Data without Dip/Dip Direction Attributes

Choose this option to select points or lines from a design database. The data is a set of pick points from a particular layer in the design data. Points of this type of data do not contain information about direction of the fault surface at the point.
