[GRASS-user] Plot 3D Drillholes in Grass GIS

[ivan marchesini]

Hi...
we have worked on doing volumetric interpolation of dip and direction
obtained from survey of geological strata (but if you have a lot of data
coming from more drill holes the problem is exactly the same:

1) we consider the normal to the plane representing in each point the
badding strata

2) we interpolate (3d interpolation with v.vol.rst) the three components
(xyz) of this normal, obtaining a voxel map for each component

3) we combine back this three components to obtain a volumetric
interpolated map (voxel) of geological dip and direction

4) now we can obtaine slices of this two maps....  

but if your problem is simply visualization of the data coming from a
single hole then a possible solution is to create inclined planes
(small) that pass from the point where bedding has been collected.
Then represents this planes into NVIZ

cheers

ivan
