As you enter your downhole data into the Borehole Manager, RockWorks computes and stores the XYZ coordinates for each downhole measurement. It computes them based on the borehole's Easting and Northing, Z (Elevation) or Collar Elevation, measurement depths, and any downhole survey information you enter for non-vertical holes. All of this happens behind the scenes, The coordinates are stored as relative coordinates to the top of the hole, in your database units.
If you import your data from Excel or ASCII files, the XYZ computations happen during the import process.
There are some instances in which you'll need to tell the program to recalculate the XYZ coordinates. Let's say you've entered the borehole's Location data and downhole Lithology intervals. For each Lithology depth interval you enter, RockWorks would compute and store the relative XYZ coordinates based on a vertical hole. If you then add downhole survey information into the Orientation tab, the program will recognize that this new data will have rendered the existing XYZ computations to be in error. The program will post the message "XYZ Not Calculated" to the borehole's Location table.
The next time you try to create a map, model, or diagram using the borehole records, the program should automatically update the XYZ calculations. However, should it not do this, you can then use one of the following menu commands:
There are no menu options to establish.
