Assigning Local Coordinates

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

If the project is a georeferenced project the map coordinates will be in decimal degrees, for display in 3D local coordinates either feet or meters will need to be assigned. Sometimes, it may be necessary to assign these local coordinates to a project and its boreholes after the project has been created or imported. To do this select Tools > Projects > Assign Local Coordinates. The select project form below will be displayed.
