xyz survey calculation error

[Edward Hakanson]

Hi,

In the Create Optimum Path Borehole Survey Table I select that the inclination should be listed as (Down = 0). However, the result is in terms of (Down = -90). This creates a problem when I copy and paste these values into the borehole manager because the borehole path does not plot correctly.

Hi Edward,

This looks like a bug - I have sent this to the programming group for their review.

Thanks for the post

Hi,

In addition to the apparent xyz survey calculation error, I do not understand why for the part of the borehole that is to be vertical (the section from the surface to the kick-off point) is not calculated or drawn as such. For example if I have a set of xyz data for my borehole location and the depth to the kick off point is 500 meters that is the same as saying the the set of xyz data for that point would be the same xy location and at 500 meters less elevation. That should give me a straight line but Rockworks does not calculate it that way but rather starts an easy curve from the surface to the first intersect point. How can this be resolved?

Thanks Tom, I'll try that and let you know.
