Bedding structure

You can modify the boreholes by displaying structural data, mainly, bedding structural data. You can manage the bedding 3D representation, by selecting and filtering the structural dataset.

When you select an attribute and methodology, the geological beds are represented in the borehole. Then, depending on the combination of attribute and methodology, you can filter the structural data.

Structural data is defined by:

  • Depth (Float): The depth of the trace of the borehole.
  • Dip (Float): The angle to the horizontal axis (0-90 degrees).
  • Dip direction (Float): The angle on the X-T plane from the north point (0-360 degrees).
  • Value (Float or String): The observed value or category for the associated attribute.
  • Azimuth (Float): An alternative to dip direction.

Displaying structural data

By default, the structural (bedding) data is displayed as a 3D stretched torus intersecting the boreholes. If borehole intervals are displayed, structural data also intersects the cylinders. When the settings are applied and the bedding data with a dip direction and dip appears as a blue ellipsis. The ellipsis is larger than the intervals.
