Drillhole Fence Diagram Tab - Reference Grid

Use this tab to specify the parameters for a reference grid displayed on the fence diagram plot. The easting and northing axes plot as vertical lines, and the elevation (or relative level) axis plots as horizontal lines.

Reference Grid Properties

Plot grid?

Check to plot a reference grid on the map.

Horizontal axis

Options

Select a horizontal axis option, None, Along fence, Eastings, or Northings.

 

The Along fence option begins with zero at the left-most hole, and measures the distance from hole to hole, increasing from left to right.

The Eastings and Northings options plot the intersection points of the individual Easting and Northing values with the fence section trace.

Grid Interval

Specify the grid interval of the horizontal axis. If this is left blank a "nice" value is determined automatically.

Elevations

Plot elevation grid lines

Check to plot elevation grid lines. See the important note below Elevations in Fence Diagrams.

Grid interval

Specify the grid interval of Z-scale. If this is left blank a "nice" value is determined automatically.

Attributes (mm)

Font

Use the drop-down list to select the Font to use to annotate the reference grids.

Label size

Specify the label size in map sheet units (millimetres).

Line thickness

Specify the line thickness in map sheet units (millimetre).

Cross size

Specify the cross size in map sheet units (millimeters). Crosses mark the intersections of the Easting and/or Northing grid axes with the horizontal elevation (Relative Level) grid axes. The cross size is the full length of each bar in the cross.

Border tick length

Specify the border tick length in map sheet units (millimeters).

Colour

Click inside the colour box and the Colour tool will be displayed.

Grid line type

Use the drop-down list to select the Grid line type.


Elevations in Fence Diagrams

In fence diagrams, the holes are plotted vertically, even if they are dipped or curved. The hole collars are plotted at the "correct" elevations, but, unless the holes are vertical, the elevations for any data below the hole will not be correct, in fact the observed elevation will be higher in reality. For this reason, it is recommended that elevations only be plotted for holes that are substantially vertical.
