• DXF export - “File | Export | Export Map as DXF”: Writes a “.dxf” file of the geometry of selected Annotation Elements from the Structure List 
• VRML export - “File | Export | Export Map as VRML”: Writes a “.vrml” 2.0 file containing data on the Annotation Elements from the Structure List 
• CSV export (Open Pit) - “File | Export | Export Traces to Open Pit”: Writes a “.csv’” file of Trace parameters for Open Pit. Structure of Open Pit Simulator data file for Trace parameters:
  "*Use?","Dip","deltaDip","DDir","DeltaDDir","Diam",”Spacing","Phi","Coh","ObsTraces","MaxJnte","Domain"
  12 numerical values
• CSV export:
  • Scanline - “File | Export | Export Spacing Scanline Data as CSV”: Writes a “.csv” file of Scanline parameters
  • Structural data: “File | Export | Export Structural Geologic Data as CSV”: Writes a “.csv” file of structural geologic data such as joint areas and traces. The export provides geometric information and reference to the measurement. The exported data can be configured by the user. The following options are available:
    • Unique Identifier
    • Name of the measurement
    • Structure set of the measurement
    • Coordinates – three columns (x, y, z or Easting, Northing, Height)
    • Orientation – two columns (dip direction, dip angle)
    • Length of the measurement (for Traces) | equivalent length of the measurement (for Areas)
    • Area on surface 
    • Planar area
  • Area partitioning data: “Map | Export | Export Area Partitioning Data as CSV”

Export of Discontinuity Models

Following options are available:

• DXF Export: The shape of Discontinuity Models can be exported as “.dxf” file format. The export is available in the selected element´s context menu (Discontinuity Model and Structure Set) by selecting “Export | Export Discontinuity Models as DXF”. The export is also available in the context menu of individual Discontinuity Models open by selecting the item in the Structure Set list and clicking the right mouse button. The export includes the shape of the discontinuity as a polygon. Following attributes “Extended Data” (metadata) can be added to the export:
  • Dip direction of Trace / Area
  • Dip angle of Trace / Area
  • Length of Trace / equivalent length of Area

The structure of the “.dxf” file for “Extended data” is as follows:

1001                                    Code for registered application name for extended data 

GSM                                     Application name 

1040                                    Code for extended data floating point value 

178.33                                 Dip direction of Trace / Area

1040                                    Code for extended data floating point value

70.33                                   Dip angle of Trace / Area

1041                                    Code for extended data distance value 

123.45                                 Length of the Trace / equivalent length of the Area
