Dips Tutorials > Oriented Core and Rock Mass Classification
Oriented core data can be processed by Dips into true dip and dip direction, using the borehole traverse option. This tutorial discusses a Dips file which uses oriented core input data. Using the additional information in the Extra Columns of the Dips file, a rock tunneling quality index Q is estimated.
