Overview
You can add drillhole data to any 3D Slide and control how each feature — collars, traces, assays, lithology, and highlights — appears in the model. Each time you import, the selected drillholes are grouped together as a single Drillhole Feature in the Object Settings panel.
You can create up to three Drillhole Feature groups per 3D Slide, which lets you customize each group independently.
Note: This article applies to VRIFY Present Beta, which includes features not available in VRIFY Present Legacy. View legacy instructions at Building 3D Presentations.
Step by Step Instructions
Add Drillholes
Open the Drilling folder in the Add Objects & Files panel.
Click + to view available drillholes:
Select the drillholes you want to add:
Use Filter to narrow results by year or date range
Use the search bar to find a specific collar ID
Use Select All to include all collar IDs

Click Import Drillholes:
After import, the selected drillholes appear in the Object Settings panel under Drilling as a Drillhole Feature object. Each drillhole group has five customizable sub-features: Collars, Traces, Assays, Lithology, and Highlights:
