• Grid Model
  • Grid File: Click here to type in a name for the grid model that will be interpolated from the borehole TD data and which the contour map will represent.
  • 
    
  • Grid Dimensions: These options define the extents and node spacing of the output grid model. (More info)
  • Algorithms: These settings define the gridding method that will be used to interpolate the grid model. (More info)
  • Options: Use these settings to establish the other general gridding options (smoothing, etc.). (More info)
  • 
    
  • Filter: Enable this setting to filter the data by minimum or maximum depths that you choose.
  • 
    
• 2D Grid Map
  Check this box to display the grid model as a 2D map.
  Click on this tab to turn on various map layers and establish the settings. See 2D Map Options for information.
  • Output Options: Use these settings to define whether the output graphic is to be saved (or displayed as "untitled"), how the file should be named, and whether it is to be displayed after it is created. It also offers export options. (More info)

• 3D Grid Diagram
  Check this box to display the grid model as a 3D surface.
  Click on this tab to turn on various 3D layers and establish the settings. See 3D Surface Options for more information.
  • Output Options: Use these settings to define whether the output scene is to be saved (or displayed as "untitled"), how the file should be named, and whether it is to be displayed after it is created. It also offers export options. (More info)

Step-by-Step Summary

1. Access the Borehole Manager program tab
2. Enter/import your data into the Borehole Manager, as necessary. This tool specifically reads data stored in Location table. (More info
3. Select the Maps | Total Depth Grid option from the Borehole Operations menu.
4. Enter the program settings as described above.
5. Click the Continue button to create the map.

   The program will interpolate a grid model for the data stored in the TD field.
   If requested, it will create a 2-dimensional map containing the requested map layers. The map will be displayed in a RockPlot2D tab in the options window.
   If requested, it will create a 3-dimensional map containing the reqested layers. The surface will be displayed in a RockPlot3D tab in the options window.

6. You can adjust any of the settings using the Main Options tab to the left and click the Continue button again to regenerate the grid model and map.
   
7. View / save / manipulate / print / export the map in the RockPlot2D window and/or the RockPlot3D window.
