Voxel to GDB

Use the Voxel > Conversions > Voxel to GDB menu option (geogxnet.dll(Geosoft.GX.VoxUtils.ConvertVoxelToGDB;RunVoxel)*), to export a Geosoft Voxel to a database (Geosoft GDB).

Voxel to GDB dialog options

Input voxel

Select the voxel file to be exported to a database.

Script Parameter: EXPDBVOX.VOXEL

Output database

Specify the name of the database to generate. By default, the output database is pre-populated with the same file name as the input file.

Script Parameter: EXPDBVOX.DATABASE

Data channel name

Enter a database channel name to hold the exported voxel data values.

Script Parameter: EXPDBVOX.CHAN

Direction

Specify the direction axis (X, Y, or Z) along which the voxel will be exported.

Script Parameter: EXPDBVOX.DIRECTION [0: XYZ (default), 1: YXZ, 2: XZY, 3: YZX, 4: ZXY, 5: ZYX]

Output dummies

If not checked, dummy voxel elements will be omitted in the output database.

Script Parameter: EXPDBVOX.DUMMY [0-No | 1-Yes (default)]

Application Notes

*The GX tool will search in the "...\Geosoft\Desktop Applications \gx" folder. The GX.Net tools, however, are embedded in the geogxnet.dll located in the "...\Geosoft\Desktop Applications \bin" folder. If running this GX interactively, bypassing the menu, first change the folder to point to the "bin" folder, then supply the GX.Net tool in the specified format.

Direction

The first coordinate in the direction designation indicates the slice plane, the data along the 3rd coordinate changes faster than the 2nd one. For example, in the designation YXZ, an entire slice in the Y plane will be saved as a database line. In each line, consecutive points are ordered along the Z direction, followed by the X direction.
