<v Kanita>Welcome everyone.</v>

[00:00:10.513]
My name is Kanita Khaled,

[00:00:12.200]
and thank you for joining in today.

[00:00:13.860]
Hope you’re making the most out of the first ever

[00:00:17.140]
virtual PDAC experience so far.

[00:00:20.270]
Today, we’ll be talking about how to import

[00:00:22.520]
and visualize your drill hole and subsurface data

[00:00:26.400]
in Target for ArcGIS Pro,

[00:00:27.980]
with a focus on connecting to MX Deposit.

[00:00:32.780]
A bit of demo logistics, I’m joined today by my colleague,

[00:00:36.260]
Geoffrey Plastow, who will be helping moderate

[00:00:38.280]
if there are any questions.

[00:00:40.690]
Okay, so, my name is Kanita Khaled, and I’m a Geophysicist

[00:00:44.460]
here at Seequent, and I’m based in our North America branch,

[00:00:49.010]
and today I’m joining in from Toronto.

[00:00:52.320]
And here at Seequent, I work primarily within

[00:00:54.690]
the technical team, collaborating often with our

[00:00:57.470]
other business units.

[00:01:01.490]
Statements of confidentiality and disclaimers,

[00:01:04.330]
and with introductions and disclaimers now out of the way,

[00:01:08.280]
let’s dive right into the demo.

[00:01:11.060]
And I’ve gone and opened up a blank map

[00:01:14.240]
of our ArcGIS Pro to get started.

[00:01:17.680]
And I’ve got the Target ribbon up here at the top,

[00:01:21.000]
and I’m signed in with both my Seequent ID and my Esri ID.

[00:01:25.270]
And I need to be signed in with my Seequent ID

[00:01:27.470]
to access the functions in this Target ribbon.

[00:01:31.100]
And on the left-hand side of the Target ribbon here,

[00:01:33.580]
I can see the import group, and this import group is what

[00:01:37.790]
allows me to import a variety of data types into my project.

[00:01:41.650]
I can import in things like Geosoft grids,

[00:01:45.150]
convert them into raster files, subsurface mesh data,

[00:01:51.050]
and also bring in drill hole data.

[00:01:54.440]
So this last category here,

[00:01:56.740]
drill hole data, is what we’ll be getting started with.

[00:02:02.160]
The first way to import drill hole data is to,

[00:02:05.730]
or is as an Excel or Access file.

[00:02:08.880]
A fairly common format.

[00:02:11.810]
You can also import in your data with an ODBC connection.

[00:02:16.410]
If you’re hooked up to an ODBC connection,

[00:02:18.470]
either locally or on your network,

[00:02:21.700]
and fairly commonly, you can also use a text,

[00:02:25.680]
a CSB, or an ASCII file format.

[00:02:29.860]
If your organization logs your drill hole data

[00:02:32.580]
with programs like acQuire or MX Deposit,

[00:02:36.310]
you can import data directly from those programs as well.

[00:02:40.210]
And finally, if you have a pre-existing

[00:02:42.450]
Geosoft Target project, that entire project

[00:02:45.480]
can be directly imported into ArcGIS Pro.

[00:02:48.640]
So today let’s focus on the import process from this program

[00:02:53.290]
right here, and that is MX Deposit.

[00:02:58.010]
So I’m going to flip over to my browser.

[00:03:02.820]
And

[00:03:04.090]
so here I am,

[00:03:07.040]
logged into the MX Deposit application on my browser,

[00:03:11.420]
and we’ll sidestep just a little bit here to talk about

[00:03:14.200]
MX Deposit very briefly.

[00:03:16.860]
If you’re unfamiliar with MX Deposit,

[00:03:19.200]
it’s a completely cloud-based logging application

[00:03:22.740]
that’s really designed to help mining

[00:03:24.810]
and exploration companies simplify and modernize

[00:03:28.880]
their drilling programs.

[00:03:31.250]
So MX Deposit essentially allows you to log your

[00:03:35.020]
drill hole data from anywhere in the world,

[00:03:37.650]
as long as you have internet,

[00:03:39.740]
but it also has remote capture options, as well,

[00:03:43.580]
for those who do not have internet access.

[00:03:46.890]
And MX Deposit is also supported as a mobile application.

[00:03:51.060]
So today we’ll take a look at the integration of MX Deposit

[00:03:56.160]
with Target for ArcGIS Pro, which allows you to

[00:03:58.790]
quickly import in drill hole projects from this

[00:04:02.450]
cloud-based environment

[00:04:04.520]
directly into the ArcGIS Pro environment.

[00:04:08.020]
And for that to work,

[00:04:09.640]
you have to make sure that you’re logged in with your

[00:04:11.510]
Seequent ID, that contains your subscription for both

[00:04:15.920]
MX Deposit and Target for ArcGIS Pro.

[00:04:19.790]
So here, is the home screen for MX Deposit,

[00:04:23.790]
and I’m going to head over to my project summary here,

[00:04:26.500]
the project summary page, and from here,

[00:04:29.240]
I can see a list of all of the drill hole projects

[00:04:32.390]
that I have been given access to by my organization.

[00:04:36.430]
So Foxfire, LITA, New Zealand, Phoenix, and Wolf Pass.

[00:04:41.860]
And this project is the one that I want to import in today,

[00:04:45.180]
this Wolf Pass datasets.

[00:04:48.020]
Once I select Wolf Pass, I can also see the types of data

[00:04:52.460]
that are logged within this project.

[00:04:55.440]
I can see the active drill holes,

[00:04:58.940]
and once I select the drill holes, I can select,

[00:05:01.290]
I can visualize

[00:05:03.240]
the list of drill holes that are associated

[00:05:06.210]
with this project.

[00:05:08.750]
And from here, I can select a drill hole.

[00:05:11.340]
I can take a look at its header

[00:05:13.130]
so I can see, okay, this is a diamond drill hole,

[00:05:16.760]
the depth of this hole,

[00:05:18.510]
who it was logged by,

[00:05:21.020]
when it got started,

[00:05:22.580]
and also the coordinate information.

[00:05:26.730]
Heading over to the survey tab.

[00:05:28.380]
I can see the down-hole survey information,

[00:05:31.710]
and along here, I can see all of the different

[00:05:34.881]
data attributes associated with this particular hole.

[00:05:38.180]
So my lithology data,

[00:05:40.310]
if you have alteration, mineralization data

[00:05:44.060]
and also sample results,

[00:05:46.410]
if you have those available from the lab.

[00:05:48.660]
So here, I have things like my copper, my gold, my silver

[00:05:53.176]
assay results for this particular hole.

[00:06:00.120]
If you like, there’s one really helpful feature.

[00:06:03.900]
You can start to visualize this down-hole data

[00:06:06.330]
as strip logs.

[00:06:08.480]
So here, at visualized the whole WP048 as a strip log,

[00:06:13.320]
this column here with my lithology data,

[00:06:16.030]
and here on the right in red and orange,

[00:06:18.800]
I’ve actually visualized my gold and copper data

[00:06:22.415]
as area plots.

[00:06:25.380]
So if I wanted to, I could then go in and start to

[00:06:28.760]
really customize this strip log.

[00:06:31.730]
I can start adding things like mineralization or alteration

[00:06:37.510]
and really customize the strip log.

[00:06:40.870]
Okay, so let’s come out of this.

[00:06:43.532]
So, I have all of these drill holes that are currently

[00:06:46.550]
ongoing or already completed.

[00:06:48.680]
Now that that has been logged in Capture,

[00:06:51.160]
let’s bring it into Target for ArcGIS Pro.

[00:06:54.500]
All right, I’m going to switch over.

[00:06:58.150]
So here, I have my blank map for this particular project,

[00:07:02.600]
and I want to import in the Wolf Pass dataset

[00:07:06.310]
from MX Deposit to ArcGIS Pro.

[00:07:09.270]
So to do that from this import group in the Target ribbon,

[00:07:13.750]
let’s go ahead and select drill hole data,

[00:07:17.090]
and then MX Deposit.

[00:07:21.250]
And this would then bring up the import drill hole

[00:07:25.290]
from MX Deposit toolbar.

[00:07:27.400]
And I can rename the project that I want to import,

[00:07:30.200]
let’s say, as Wolf Pass,

[00:07:34.180]
and because I’m connected,

[00:07:37.760]
or because I’m logged in with my Seequent ID,

[00:07:41.070]
which is also connected to MX Deposit,

[00:07:43.400]
Target will now show me the list of projects available

[00:07:47.260]
directly from MX Deposit.

[00:07:49.080]
Just the ones that we just saw.

[00:07:51.040]
So today we’ll pick Wolf Pass,

[00:07:53.360]
and from here we can also select the activity.

[00:07:57.320]
That would be core logging.

[00:07:58.790]
And you also have the option of selecting

[00:08:00.460]
the coordinate system.

[00:08:01.460]
For our case, WGS 84,

[00:08:04.270]
Zone 18N.

[00:08:06.220]
So once I click on this run,

[00:08:10.040]
run button, this starts the import process,

[00:08:14.450]
and this will then go ahead and import in

[00:08:17.850]
the Wolf Pass dataset from MX Deposit

[00:08:21.810]
from the cloud directly into Target for ArcGIS Pro.

[00:08:26.320]
So let’s take a look at what that looks like.

[00:08:31.360]
So here, I have my colors done,

[00:08:33.810]
and also my traces associated with

[00:08:37.750]
the Wolf Pass drill hole dataset.

[00:08:41.829]
So once your program, or once your drilling program

[00:08:45.850]
continues to progress each day,

[00:08:48.870]
you can always update your data in ArcGIS Pro

[00:08:52.800]
using this Refresh Drill Hole Import option.

[00:08:56.820]
And this will connect to MX Deposit,

[00:08:58.537]
and with just one click, you’re ready to update your data.

[00:09:02.490]
So this connection between MX Deposit

[00:09:04.757]
and Target for ArcGIS Pro allows you to log your data,

[00:09:08.700]
connect to it instantly,

[00:09:10.340]
and then visualize your results without losing any time

[00:09:13.950]
between the logging and the final visualization.

[00:09:17.240]
So this makes it a really effortless and efficient workflow.

[00:09:23.230]
So once the data is added in here to Target for Arc Pro,

[00:09:27.260]
I can start to visualize other attributes

[00:09:30.650]
using this Drill Hole Data button.

[00:09:34.480]
And from here, I could start to visualize

[00:09:36.650]
my down-hole data, like my lithology or my assay data.

[00:09:41.380]
So let’s say I would like to visualize my copper data.

[00:09:43.680]
I would simply toggle that on,

[00:09:45.470]
and that would then be plotted in Plan View.

[00:09:48.592]
Using the Symbology option here,

[00:09:51.270]
I can change the size and the coloring of these,

[00:09:54.332]
of this particular attribute.

[00:09:58.190]
I can also offset it away from the trace.

[00:10:01.110]
So let me show you how to do that.

[00:10:04.570]
So here, I have my lithology data visualized,

[00:10:07.750]
but I’ve set it at an offset away from my trace

[00:10:11.472]
so that I can view both my trace and the lithology data.

[00:10:16.470]
So let’s now add in another assay attribute.

[00:10:20.530]
In this case, copper.

[00:10:22.370]
So now I’ve visualized both my lithology

[00:10:26.582]
and my assay data

[00:10:29.140]
simultaneously.

[00:10:31.040]
Another really interesting way of visualizing

[00:10:33.280]
your assay data is using this histogram-style look.

[00:10:38.580]
So here, I visualized my gold,

[00:10:42.480]
and I’ve customized the symbology

[00:10:44.883]
so that it’s visualized by color and size.

[00:10:48.560]
So it gives me a little bit of an easier look into where my

[00:10:51.910]
higher grade showings are.

[00:10:54.200]
So in this Plan View, you can visualize

[00:10:57.520]
multiple drill hole data types, lithology, mineralogy,

[00:11:00.170]
assay, all concurrently,

[00:11:02.910]
allowing you to really easily interpret my down-hole data.

[00:11:08.900]
Once I have my data in this 2D space,

[00:11:11.030]
I can go ahead and click on the New Drill Hole Scene button,

[00:11:14.520]
and that would take me to a new 3D scene.

[00:11:18.510]
And from here, I could start to visualize

[00:11:20.870]
that same dataset, but now I’m doing it in a 3D manner.

[00:11:24.500]
So let’s just rotate our scene here and position ourselves

[00:11:28.160]
so we could see a little bit better.

[00:11:33.150]
Whoops.

[00:11:36.915]
Let me go to a specific view.

[00:11:40.480]
So here, I have my drill hole dataset now visualized in 3D.

[00:11:45.500]
And similarly, I could start adding in things like

[00:11:50.816]
my copper or my lithology data right here onto the scene.

[00:11:56.980]
Wait a second for that to load.

[00:12:05.860]
And so there, I have my copper data, now visualized in 3D.

[00:12:10.000]
I could spin that around and take that,

[00:12:12.880]
just really start to inspect my data.

[00:12:15.310]
And I could also start to visualize things like

[00:12:17.780]
my lithology data

[00:12:25.350]
and so on.

[00:12:26.260]
You also have quick options here to view this data

[00:12:29.130]
from a variety of angles for ease of use,

[00:12:33.720]
but other than drilling data, what else can I bring in?

[00:12:36.360]
I’m also able to visualize raster data I mentioned before

[00:12:40.540]
by importing in Geosoft grids.

[00:12:43.470]
So I can import in a Geosoft grid,

[00:12:46.000]
like this topography file here,

[00:12:48.580]
and running that would then put that into my

[00:12:51.850]
geodatabase, which I could then visualize on my EDC.

[00:12:55.620]
So here, I have a LIDAR topography dataset that was

[00:12:59.845]
collected over this project.

[00:13:02.400]
It was graded in Oasis Montaj and then brought into

[00:13:07.100]
ArcGIS Pro as a raster image.

[00:13:09.970]
And so with this grid import option,

[00:13:12.010]
you can bring in other relevant data like geophysics

[00:13:14.830]
or geochemistry directly from Oasis Montaj.

[00:13:19.720]
Another key feature that I wanted to talk about today

[00:13:22.280]
is the subsurface mesh data option.

[00:13:25.360]
So that that’s this option right here,

[00:13:29.060]
and using the subsurface mesh data tool,

[00:13:31.610]
I can import in geological or other subsurface data

[00:13:36.380]
directly into my drill hole scene and project.

[00:13:39.990]
So for example,

[00:13:41.800]
let’s say I bring in data using an OMF format,

[00:13:44.900]
which is the open mining format.

[00:13:49.436]
And once I import that in,

[00:13:55.328]
I’m going to turn off my lithology

[00:13:56.580]
so you can get a better view.

[00:13:59.340]
So here’s that open mining format that is supported across

[00:14:03.790]
many of our Seequent products.

[00:14:06.460]
I’ve imported, I’ve created this in Oasis Montaj

[00:14:09.630]
and then brought it in to Target for ArcGIS Pro,

[00:14:14.450]
and essentially it’s now converted

[00:14:16.010]
into a multi-patch object.

[00:14:17.840]
And now I can visualize my gold grades

[00:14:21.678]
of 1.5 grams per time

[00:14:24.013]
right here on my scene.

[00:14:26.920]
And similarly, you could also visualize

[00:14:31.600]
geology.

[00:14:32.600]
So here, in maroon here,

[00:14:34.003]
I’ve visualized a gold bearing day site dike unit

[00:14:37.670]
and this was modeled out in Geo and then brought

[00:14:40.860]
into Target for ArcGIS Pro as a multi-patch object.

[00:14:45.700]
So with the subsurface mesh data option,

[00:14:48.760]
that can easily bring in mesh data

[00:14:51.670]
to add context to my drilling program.

[00:14:56.960]
Okay, so we’ve brought in all of this data types

[00:15:00.970]
into Target for ArcGIS Pro.

[00:15:02.910]
What can we do with it?

[00:15:05.080]
Well, one very common data product,

[00:15:08.550]
are cross-sections across the industry,

[00:15:11.660]
and we have a fully functioning

[00:15:13.907]
cross-section creation and managing tool.

[00:15:17.000]
So with the Section Create Tool up here,

[00:15:23.250]
we can interactively create cross-sections

[00:15:27.100]
or a single cross-section,

[00:15:32.510]
or I could create multiple offset cross-sections.

[00:15:37.000]
So here, I’ve created a total of

[00:15:39.990]
five plus one original cross-section,

[00:15:42.990]
separated by 152 meters.

[00:15:45.690]
So I could change this to bring these sections a little bit

[00:15:49.620]
closer together, so those just updated.

[00:15:58.290]
And because this is a fully dynamic, 3D environment,

[00:16:02.600]
I can take this, and spin this around,

[00:16:05.100]
and inspect my cross-sections, or I can commit to them.

[00:16:09.110]
So here, if I didn’t like the location of them,

[00:16:12.160]
I could start to offset

[00:16:14.660]
it in perpendicular to my azimuth,

[00:16:18.550]
or I could even change things like the azimuth of the

[00:16:21.900]
cross-section, the inclination of the cross-section,

[00:16:26.182]
or even the length, the height, and the thickness,

[00:16:29.500]
all while, all before you’ve even saved the section.

[00:16:36.560]
Once you go ahead and save these sections,

[00:16:39.050]
they appear inside your Section Manager.

[00:16:43.340]
And inside the Section Manager, you’ll see a list

[00:16:46.050]
of all of the sections that you’ve created.

[00:16:47.780]
So I have four that are already created,

[00:16:50.930]
and now I can go into, what we call, a Section view.

[00:16:56.040]
And from the Section View, I can visualize my cross-sections

[00:17:00.560]
in a more familiar cross-section view.

[00:17:04.190]
And I can view them from a variety of angles.

[00:17:07.710]
From the front,

[00:17:11.370]
top, all just a variety of preset options

[00:17:15.705]
for your viewing convenience.

[00:17:18.070]
And while I’m here, I could go ahead and modify

[00:17:22.562]
these cross-sections on the fly.

[00:17:25.440]
If I wanted to readjust the scale, the length, the height,

[00:17:29.410]
or any of these other parameters that are present here,

[00:17:32.060]
I could do that.

[00:17:33.420]
And because you’re working inside the 3D view here,

[00:17:37.030]
you can also start adding in things like your assay data

[00:17:41.290]
or your day site dike unit,

[00:17:43.690]
or the gold shells that we brought in earlier.

[00:17:48.670]
So let’s turn on my lithology, actually,

[00:17:54.050]
and now that I’ve loaded it in,

[00:17:56.180]
I could start toggling through each one of these sections

[00:18:00.300]
to take a look at what they look like in this section view.

[00:18:06.190]
And once you’re ready,

[00:18:07.870]
this entire cross-section can be placed in a layout map,

[00:18:14.470]
like the one right here.

[00:18:16.710]
And once you place your section in a layout map,

[00:18:20.600]
any other relevant mapping information

[00:18:23.020]
like your legend,

[00:18:25.080]
your scale bar,

[00:18:27.100]
your north arrow,

[00:18:28.720]
any kind of text, Polyline annotation, mapping information,

[00:18:33.720]
can then be added in.

[00:18:35.090]
You can even add in a second or third or fourth inset map,

[00:18:38.810]
just like the one that I’ve added here.

[00:18:41.376]
So if you have active maps in your project,

[00:18:43.630]
you could then pull them into your layout

[00:18:45.420]
as you see relevant.

[00:18:47.880]
And once you’re ready,

[00:18:49.420]
these can be saved in multiple different formats like this.

[00:18:55.890]
Here, I’ve published it as a PDF.

[00:18:57.760]
You could do so in any of the formats that Esri allows

[00:19:01.190]
you to do like JPEGs and TMG files.

[00:19:04.460]
There’s a host of available formats to publish in.

[00:19:09.890]
And last but not least,

[00:19:11.300]
I’d like to bring your attention to one last functionality

[00:19:14.255]
that was incorporated recently, and that is strip logs.

[00:19:18.640]
So many of you are familiar with strip logs already.

[00:19:21.770]
It’s essentially a downhill plot of geological features

[00:19:25.060]
from a single drill hole.

[00:19:26.020]
We saw something similar in MX Deposit, and this,

[00:19:30.110]
in ArcGIS Pro, can be created using

[00:19:33.470]
the strip log reporting tool here in the Target ribbon.

[00:19:38.280]
Just going to close out the section tool here.

[00:19:41.870]
So here, I have the strip log reporting tool open

[00:19:45.420]
here on the side,

[00:19:46.960]
and I can start creating my strip log by importing

[00:19:50.270]
in a layout.

[00:19:52.390]
And there’s a variety of layouts that are available for

[00:19:56.072]
Target ArcGIS Pro users to start building

[00:19:59.020]
your strip log template.

[00:20:01.920]
And from here, you simply select the hole, the drill hole

[00:20:05.010]
they’d like to visualize, add some of these additional texts

[00:20:10.174]
to give information on your drill hole.

[00:20:13.150]
And from there, you can simply start adding in

[00:20:15.650]
what we call, chart frames for data strips.

[00:20:19.010]
So here, I’ve added

[00:20:21.430]
three charts frames for my gold, my copper,

[00:20:25.080]
and my molybdenum,

[00:20:26.420]
and here, I visualized them as far plots and line plots.

[00:20:31.770]
And here on the far left, I visualized my lithology data,

[00:20:36.160]
simply using my lithology color convention that I’ve

[00:20:40.310]
customized in Target for ArcGIS Pro.

[00:20:44.340]
So the appearance of all of these chart frames can be

[00:20:48.118]
modified and fine tuned.

[00:20:50.640]
I’ve also added in things like legends, and annotations,

[00:20:54.170]
and titles, just to make this plot relevant

[00:20:58.230]
and ready for publishing.

[00:21:00.660]
And just like the section map,

[00:21:02.300]
once you’re happy with your strip log look and feel you,

[00:21:05.070]
could publish it out into a variety of formats,

[00:21:09.038]
and the whole thing is quite customizable.

[00:21:12.860]
So with that, I’d like to conclude the demo portion

[00:21:16.020]
of the presentation, and just switch gears ever so slightly,

[00:21:20.980]
and talk about what’s coming up next.

[00:21:24.730]
So for upcoming release,

[00:21:27.140]
I am pleased to announce that the next release of

[00:21:29.670]
Target for ArcGIS Pro is coming up in April,

[00:21:33.360]
early April 2021.

[00:21:35.350]
So please be on the lookout for that.

[00:21:38.010]
And in this version, we’ll be supporting version,

[00:21:40.510]
ArcGIS Pro version 2.7.

[00:21:43.010]
And we’re hoping from that point onward,

[00:21:45.610]
we’ll be able to match the Target for Arc Pro

[00:21:49.050]
version updates with ArcGIS Pro version updates.

[00:21:52.748]
And in this upcoming version,

[00:21:55.449]
we’re adding multiple section improvements,

[00:21:58.590]
like section extents,

[00:22:01.330]
section scale, an offsetting capability for your symbology.

[00:22:07.270]
And we’re also supporting a new shared installation option,

[00:22:11.770]
which would allow multiple users to,

[00:22:14.830]
who share a single computer or a virtual machine,

[00:22:18.410]
to access Target or ArcGIS Pro.

[00:22:22.200]
So please be on the lookout for that upcoming release.

[00:22:28.290]
And with that,

[00:22:29.400]
I would like to conclude the presentation,

[00:22:32.461]
and I’ll just open up the floor now for any questions

[00:22:35.700]
that you might have.

[00:22:36.533]
Please feel free to type them into

[00:22:38.570]
the go-to webinar chat box, please.

[00:22:45.710]
And I’ll just turn on my video here again.

[00:22:50.190]
<v Geoff>Hi, Kanita, it’s Geoff.</v>

[00:22:51.690]
Thank you very much.

[00:22:52.523]
That was great.

[00:22:54.300]
Just a couple of questions coming into the chat panel

[00:22:57.910]
and the questions.

[00:23:01.450]
First question:

[00:23:03.200]
Can I publish their whole data through ArcGIS online

[00:23:06.560]
or through Esri online?

[00:23:09.730]
<v Kanita>Yes.</v>

[00:23:10.563]
So one of the powerful things that

[00:23:13.443]
ArcGIS Pro is able to do, is connect to Esri online.

[00:23:18.410]
And so you’re importing in your drill hole data using

[00:23:21.505]
Target for ArcGIS Pro, that entire drill hole scene,

[00:23:25.540]
that entire 3D scene with your drill holes,

[00:23:29.300]
with your subsurface mesh data,

[00:23:31.810]
can all be taken into the Esri online environment.

[00:23:36.060]
Let me see if I have an example of that.

[00:23:40.250]
This one.

[00:23:42.170]
So here, I have a dataset published

[00:23:45.360]
to the Esri online environment,

[00:23:47.230]
and here I can see the lithology or, sorry,

[00:23:49.750]
I have the assay here,

[00:23:52.390]
the mesh data, the day site dike unit,

[00:23:55.190]
and this is a really cool feature

[00:23:57.690]
because it operates kind of like ArcGIS Pro on desktop,

[00:24:00.950]
but kind of stripped away functionalities.

[00:24:03.850]
You can start to do some really interesting things here.

[00:24:07.150]
You can start to create sections or slices

[00:24:11.330]
while you’re in this 3D view.

[00:24:13.970]
So really start to investigate your data without actually

[00:24:18.250]
having a license to the software.

[00:24:22.946]
I hope that answers the question.

[00:24:23.866]
(Kanita laughs)

[00:24:25.260]
<v Geoff>Yeah, thank you.</v>

[00:24:28.700]
Can you load data from different MX Deposit projects into

[00:24:32.370]
the same Target for ArcGIS Pro projects?

[00:24:37.177]
<v Kanita>Can you load data from</v>

[00:24:38.270]
different MX Deposit projects

[00:24:40.150]
into the same Target for ArcGIS Pro project?

[00:24:44.380]
Yes, you can.

[00:24:46.350]
So, one thing I did not discuss is the fact that

[00:24:51.400]
you can import multiple drill hole datasets into Target,

[00:24:55.410]
from one Target for ArcGIS Pro project.

[00:24:58.090]
So here, I have one project,

[00:25:00.240]
and so that’s that listed in this current dataset group.

[00:25:05.890]
So I only have one project, but if I wanted to,

[00:25:07.700]
I can add many other projects,

[00:25:10.020]
and then I could simply connect with the data input tool,

[00:25:13.953]
connect to MX Deposit, and bring in my MX Deposit projects

[00:25:19.033]
into each of my relevant Target ArcGIS Pro projects.

[00:25:23.450]
So in that way,

[00:25:24.470]
you could have one Target for ArcGIS Pro project open,

[00:25:29.170]
but you could have it connected to

[00:25:30.760]
multiple MX Deposit projects on the cloud.

[00:25:38.290]
<v Geoff>Excellent.</v>

[00:25:41.170]
One other question:

[00:25:42.610]
When importing drilling and sample data,

[00:25:45.660]
does Target for ArcGIS Pro re-project that?

[00:25:49.710]
How does it handle coordinates systems?

[00:25:52.860]
<v Kanita>So when you’re importing in,</v>

[00:25:56.900]
when you’re importing data from MX Deposit,

[00:26:00.240]
MX Deposit has its own list of grids.

[00:26:03.681]
They call them grids, or coordinate systems,

[00:26:06.410]
attached to different global projects.

[00:26:10.150]
The grids that are available on MX Deposit are also linked

[00:26:14.760]
to your Target for ArcGIS Pro

[00:26:17.670]
account, if you’re connected with your Seequent ID.

[00:26:20.040]
So when I was doing that import from MX Deposit,

[00:26:24.250]
it did list all of the available grids on MX Deposit.

[00:26:28.740]
I would simply then go ahead and choose the one

[00:26:30.720]
that’s relevant to my project

[00:26:32.660]
and apply it before I bring it into my project.

[00:26:35.440]
And of course, as we get fully coordinated aware,

[00:26:38.720]
you do have the ability to re-project coordinate systems

[00:26:42.860]
and things like that.

[00:26:44.300]
But you do get a list of all of the coordinates that are

[00:26:47.914]
available on MX Deposit before we bring that data in.

[00:26:55.270]
<v Geoff>Excellent.</v>

[00:26:56.700]
Maybe one more question.

[00:26:59.120]
Can I use my own color convention on the drill hole data

[00:27:02.750]
and adjust my symbology?

[00:27:08.003]
<v Kanita>Yes, you can use your own color code convention.</v>

[00:27:12.240]
You could do it in a couple of different ways.

[00:27:16.450]
So you have a preset convention for your drill hole project

[00:27:20.200]
or your rock symbology,

[00:27:22.386]
and you have a library of that in like a CSV file,

[00:27:26.098]
you could definitely bring that in.

[00:27:28.620]
We have an import symbology tool here,

[00:27:31.586]
which would allow you to bring in that symbology

[00:27:35.050]
either from a rock code file.

[00:27:38.220]
We do have a specific symbology, or specific convention,

[00:27:42.300]
for this kind of file,

[00:27:44.200]
or you could customize it yourself

[00:27:48.150]
within Esri because you’re given all of the

[00:27:49.993]
Esri symbology options.

[00:27:52.290]
You could customize it yourself, save it as a layer file,

[00:27:55.860]
and then, you know, if you wanted to share it,

[00:27:57.510]
you could pass that layer file on to a colleague,

[00:28:00.420]
and they would have access to the same kind of symbology

[00:28:03.340]
that you have used.

[00:28:05.800]
Alternatively, if you have multiple global datasets going

[00:28:08.850]
in the same project space, you can also cross reference

[00:28:13.061]
those databases and bring in the symbology

[00:28:15.720]
from another dataset.

[00:28:17.810]
So three different ways of doing it, but it is,

[00:28:20.210]
it is possible.

[00:28:23.030]
<v Geoff>Excellent, thank you.</v>

[00:28:26.128]
I don’t see any other questions coming in.

[00:28:30.710]
<v Kanita>Yeah, no problem.</v>

[00:28:32.610]
I am also available to take any questions by email.

[00:28:36.330]
If you think of them after the fact,

[00:28:38.180]
please go ahead and shoot me an email.

[00:28:40.250]
And as always,

[00:28:41.900]
there’s a lot of information available on my.seequent.com.

[00:28:47.150]
Have a great day.

[00:28:53.808]
