Adding data to a project

Driver is a data-driven platform, so providing well-sampled 3D data coverage is a key component to a Driver analysis. Driver will only reveal features that are delineated by the provided data and will not generate features outside of the data area. Driver's algorithms are designed to reveal connectivity, or continuity, of geological features between neighbouring drillholes. Because of this, it is important to provide sufficient data for Driver to recognize these features.

Data types supported

You can import three main data types into Driver:

• Drillhole information as 3D point clouds. See the Drilling data topic for more information.
• Category attributes using Seequent Evo to upload downhole interval geoscience objects. See the Drilling data topic for more information.
• Volumes as wireframe meshes. See the Meshes topic for more information.

Object data formats Driver supports include:

• Point data (*.csv)
• Domains and meshes (*.obj)
• Seequent Evo geoscience objects (*.json)
  • Downhole intervals that contain numeric attributes such as assays
  • Non-numeric attributes in the form of categorical data such as lithology codes or alteration types
  • Triangle meshes

For point data, domains and meshes, you can upload files from your local hard drive or from Seequent Evo.

Seequent Evo geoscience objects can only be uploaded via Evo; the geoscience objects must be in the same workspace the Driver project belongs to.

At a minimum, numeric drilling data must be desurveyed before uploading to Driver. However, for best results, compositing the data and following the steps described in Preparing numeric drilling data for Driver is recommended.

When creating a project using a local *.csv file (UTF-8), data should be formatted to include:

• XYZ coordinate for each sample
• Hole_id or BHID for each sample (optional)
• Any number of numeric attribute columns (e.g. Au_ppm)
