I think you’ll have to export the midpoint cords and data to a separate file and plot as 3D points.

The coordinates are only a problem if you are creating a section oblique to your grid. If the section is parallel the discover section uses real coordinates but in a non-earth projection – so you can plot your points if you use a non-earth projection. If the section is oblique the Discover section used arbitrary cords. However, if you have displayed your section in Discover 3D as a raster you should be able to bring your 3D points in there in the right place.

Subject: Re: [MI-L] Adding pierce points to long section.
Yes, KTG. A midpoint of the composite. I cannot show it in the downhole attributes or plot it anywhere in the section generated by the drillhole function of Discover.
Steve, I tried generating 3D coordinates, loading them to the sections generated from Discover > Drillholes. It doesn't plot in the section. The section is a drawing described in length (not XY), but the points have coordinates, so I guess that's the problem with this.
Thanks for the help!

Does your question mean, say the length of the line is 100meters and you wanted a point @ 50meters.is that what you wanted?

You all are making this way too hard – You have created a LONG section which by definition contains all the information – you need to instead create an Envelope section and specify the envelope width – this will achieve what you are wanting.

Indeed my section is oblique. Sorry but I don't have much experience with Discover 3D. Will I be able to plot it like those generated sections?
I saw one presentation that is able to put these midpoints into downhole attributes. This seems easier. Has anybody done this?
Thank you very much.

Try making the search envelope small – to something like 1, or 10 – see what happens then…

This still doesn't produce pierce points but full intervals of composites. I am working on a section along a strike of an orebody thus pierce points is really needed.

This won't simply work, Barbara. Thanks anyway.

Maybe I’m not understanding what you want – you want pierce points of drill holes going thru a section plane?
Here is what I get:

Is that what you are wanting?? If not I’ll stop trying..

Hi Vic
You can still do this in Discover but it just takes a bit of messing around. As I understand it Vic wants to do what I do a fair bit which is to plot 3D points at the mid points of where the hole intersects the ore body. You can’t do this directly in discover. If you create points you can then thematically map them by grade, thickness, grade x thickness and even characterise different dips and strike of the ore zone in pseudo-conolly diagrams or create pie diagrams. Perhaps this functionality is something Discover should look at adding. As I mentioned before the problem is that the oblique section uses arbitrary coordinates starting at zero for the length along the section however the RL coord will be correct. In order to plot the points you will need to translate the “X” coord in the plane of your oblique section from the true X,Y coordinates in your grid space. I think you should be able to do this by setting up a translation by getting equivalent new “X”cords from the position of the section grid Eastings so that you can work out the ratio between them. Then apply that ratio to the X coordinates of your intercept points so they will plot correctly in your oblique section. I think this would do it – but as I said a bit of messing about. Perhaps someone else can think of a better way. It just occurred to me that another way might be to plot the intercept data as structural points. That way the points would be plotted in the correct place on the section. You could then use these points to update the coordinates of your true intercept points using the “update coordinates” module in Discover and then then use the new coordinates to create the intercept points on the section.
Cheers
Steve
