3DViz Boreholes

The 3D Viz Module can display boreholes as tubes with a specified diameter and color. Note that deviated wells are drawn using the directional survey data loaded on the Main Module's Location tab.

To modify how boreholes are displayed:

Select the button on the on the Layer Toolbar
Select 3dViz Module: Wells> Bore Holes

Set color and size

Size	Sets the well bore diameter in map units. As an example, setting this option to "50" will create well bores with a diameter of 50 meters or feet. This is useful for illustrating borehole location (displaying them at actual diameter would make them very difficult to see), but can be misleading about the proximity of very closely spaced wells (like sidetracks).
Color	Sets the color for the boreholes on the 3DViz module. Select the rectangle to set a different color.
Opacity	Sets the opacity of all wellbores on a scale from 0 (transparent) to 1 (completely opaque).
Dim Opacity	This tool dims all wells except the selected well. Dimmed wells can have an opacity anywhere from 0 (transparent) to 1 (completely opaque).
Select Wells to Highlight	Uses a Select Wells By Data Criteria to highlight selected wells with a different wellbore color.
Highlight Color	Sets the color for the optional highlight.
Show Secondary Surveys	Stores "Primary" and "Secondary" directional surveys, but the 3DViz module only displays the "Primary" survey by default. This option enables both the primary and secondary surveys for all directional wells.

Additional color options for directional wells

This section controls how the 3DViz module displays directional wells with survey data.

Plot directional wells using color(s) selected above	This option plots directional wells using the color specified on the "Color" box in the "Set Color and Size" section above.
Plot Directional Wells using Survey Definition color	This option instead plots directional wells using the "default color" specified on the Survey Def Maintenance tool.
