Its core functionality includes creating and manipulating 2D and 3D data, editing, querying, and plotting\/display of all types of geology and mining data.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>MinePlan 3D 15.6<\/strong>, we\u2019ve added a function to the Help menu that assists you with troubleshooting and sharing information with technical support. You can now create a log folder to create and store log files. These files can be easily found and shared, which is extremely useful for troubleshooting issues.<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever wanted to code your drillhole sample site custom fields from solids or polygons? Now you can easily do this and store geometric information into your collar information through the Drillhole View editor. After coding you can now also color your drillhole traces by these attributes that are stored in your collars.<\/p>\n<p>View sub-blocked models as blocks in 3D and as filled polygons in 2D! This is a great visualizing tool that shows you exactly where every sub-block is in space and allows you to set attributes to each block by the items stored in it.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5026\" style=\"width: 712px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hexagonmining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5026\" class=\"size-large wp-image-5026\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.hexagonmining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1-1024x558.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"702\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hgnminingblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1-1024x558.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hgnminingblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hgnminingblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1-768x418.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hgnminingblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1.jpg 1896w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5026\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View sub-blocks as blocks.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Plot Layout function in MP3D now can use the xViewer.
