I have a borehole drilled at 20 degrees off vertical (downwards). I want to export a Fence, but gINT can't seem to get the angle to appear correctly. Notes:
- I'm using an interger azimuth of 45 in the correct field, and my fence report is looking at the right field (HOLE_ORNT or something like that)
- I'm using a plunge of -70, in the default field in the POINT table (POINT.PLUNGE)
- when I export a dxf fence, and my horizontal and vertical scales are the same so that I can directly measure the angle, the borehole is angled at 45 degrees!
- if I export to a standard report so that my vertical and horizontal scales are different, it still shows a wildly angled borehole instead of simply a borehole on a slight decline. Again, the horizontal distance from the collar to the toe indicates that the borehole is actually dipping at around -45, not -70
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks, M
Hi Mike,
it is possible that it is either file specific or version specific. I have tested your numbers in my files and I see what I believe to be the expected outcome.
I am making a few of assumptions. One that you are using the latest version of the program or at least something within the last year. Two you are using one of the AGS files sets ( I am guessing based on the fields you are referring to).
So here is my example output with your numbers. I am using AGS 4 file set with point orientation support turned on. You do not need to reference any fields in the fence report properties when using point orientation support . When using point orientation all you need is one entry for a single angle.
For reference on how to use point orientation support see the following
if this is not helping please send me your library and project privately kirk.johnson@Bentley.com
Also note what version of gINT you have installed
thanks
Hi David,
Thanks for the quick reply. In short:
- I'm using version 08.30.04.285 (we are not paying the optional yearly fee, which means that I can't update)
- I am using an AGS-type database. I tried both full-fledged Point Orientation support, and a simplified bearing/plunge field in the POINT table, same results
- I created a baseline along the bearing of the borehole, so that I could directly measure the angle, see below
- I'm getting an angle of about 50 degrees even though I have an inclination of -70 entered
Thanks for your time!
