How to Create 3D Model of Drillholes in ArcGIS

Question

Hi

I have some drilling information for drillholes and I do not know if it is possible to create 3D drill trace using ArcGIS 3D Extension(I know that this is possible by using some third party tools like Traget but I really need to do this in ArcMap).
What I have are is:
DrillHole_ID,Easting,Northing,Azimuth,Dip,Srart,End,Lenght

I know how to generate 3D model of points which has no angles but az you can see I have to consider the angles here, so Can you please let me know how I can do it?
I tried to find a tutorial on the web but I couldt find any thing!

Thanks for your help

Hey Neil,

I was wondering if you have an updated email as I am interested in testing out the mentioned VB within Access coupled with the python script...I have tried the mentioned address but it bounces.

Cheers

I posted the py file pointed to by Tim above.
The BotX,Y,Z values are calculated from CollarXYZ, drill azimuth & EOHDepth using a bit of Vb in Access. Just simple trig. Then use the py script to generate the 3d polyline.
This is mainly to visualise the plan extent of each hole, but also to use in ArcScene.

But don't think I can post a mdb here.

Mail me if you want the example : nayres at worldonline dot co dot za

Cheers,
Neil
