  1. Open all_composites2.str in Graphics.
  2. Choose Display > Hide everything.
  3. Choose Display > Point > Markers.
  4. Enter the information as shown, and click Apply.
  5. Choose Display > 3D grid.
  6. Enter the information as shown, and click Apply.

  8. The points in this string file represent 2 metre downhole composites of all gold values for all drillholes.  The D1 field contains the composited value for gold, and have been used to classify the points into different strings.

    String D1
    1 < 1.000
    2 1 – 1.999
    3 2 – 2.999
    4 3 –3.999
    5 4 – 4.999
    6 5 – 5.999
    7 >= 6.000
  9. With all_composites2.str still displayed on the screen, open ore_solid1.dtm.
  10. This solid represents a single domain.  Only composites that fall inside this domain should be used to estimate blocks inside the domain.
