GEMS Release Notes Last Modified: Friday, March 17, 2017
GEMS 6.8 Enhancements GEMS Move a drillhole collar position onto a surface You can use the new Drillhole > Edit > Press Drillhole Collars onto Surface command to move a loaded drillhole collar position onto a surface, which modifies the corresponding drillhole workspace. After you save the modified drillhole workspace, the desurvey values in the drillhole sub-tables are updated to match the shift in the collars.
Add or edit additional header table data in the edit mode of drillhole planning In the Drillhole > Plan Drillhole > Create/Edit Single tab, you can use the new Additional tab to add or edit the header table data in edit mode.
Calculate and populate the data for multiple survey records On the Multiple Survey Data Records dialog box, you can now use the Calculate Surveys button to calculate and populate distance, azimuth, and dip values in the table. These values are based on the number of intervals, maximum hole length, swing, and lift values.
Calculate surveys using the drillholes within a 3D sphere of the specified radius In the Multiple Survey Data Records dialog box, you can now calculate the survey intervals using the survey data of the holes present in the graphics window. When you select the Within radius option in the Select holes to use list, the drillholes with collars lying within the specified radius from the collar of the drillhole designed will be used for calculating survey data.
Calculate surveys using all the drillholes on the graphics window In the Multiple Survey Data Records dialog box, you can now calculate the survey intervals using the survey data of the holes present in the graphics window. When you select the All holes option in the Select holes to use list, all the drillholes open on the graphics window will be used for calculating survey data.
Edit drillholes with multiple survey records In the Drillhole > Plan Drillhole > Create/Edit Single tab, you can now edit a designed drillhole with multiple survey records, by editing the position of the collar.
Create multiple deviated drillholes from all designed drillholes with multiple survey records In the Drillhole > Plan Drillhole > Create Multiple > Design tab, you can now create multiple deviated drillholes such as parallel, cone, and fan drillholes for all the designed drillholes with multiple survey records.
Create drillholes with multiple survey records You can use the new Multiple Survey Data Records dialog box to create drillholes with multiple survey records. You can access this dialog box by clicking the new Multiple Survey button on the Drillhole > Plan Drillhole > Create/Edit Single tab.
Clip multiple drillholes created with a deviated drillhole as their base to an elevation, solid, or surface In the Drillhole > Plan Drillhole > Create Multiple > Clipping tab, you can now clip multiple drillholes, that are created with a deviated drillhole as their base, to an elevation, solid, or surface.
Graphically edit drillholes with multiple survey records You can now use the Drillhole > Plan Drillhole command to graphically edit a designed drillhole with multiple survey records, by moving its collar in the graphics window. Page 1 of 2
GEMS
GEMS 6.8 Increase in the allowable number of targeted rock codes The allowable number of targeted rock codes have been increased from 30 to 100. You can now create an interpolation profile (Format > Geo statistics > Interpolation or Tools > Geostatistics > Interpolation > Interpolation Profile) with up to 100 target rock codes.
Switch between coordinates and indices for swath plots On the Block > Utils > Validation Plots > Swath Plots tab, you can use the new Use Coordinates and Use Block Indices options to switch between coordinates and indices. You can now create swath plots along the rows, columns, and levels of a block model.
Support for batch import .dtm files You can use the new File > Batch Import > From DTM Files command to import solids or surfaces from multiple .dtm files into triangulation workspaces.
Issues Fixed GEMS Volumetrics reported incorrect volume if the rock code profile did not exist for a rock code value of a block model The Volumetrics > Report Reserves command now reports correct volume and does not skip the rock code values of the block models for which the rock code profile does not exist.
Rotation movement of the 3D mouse was not working Drivers are not required to use a 3D mouse in GEMS. When you uninstall 3Dconnexion or other 3D mouse drivers that are installed, the issue no longer exists and rotation movement of the 3D mouse works.
DWG files containing polygon mesh triangulation were not imported You can now import .dwg files that contain polygon mesh triangulation data, as solids or surfaces.
Delete Segment was deselecting the active and selected polyline When you use the Polyline > Line > Delete Segment command, it now deletes only the selected line segment, and retains the active and selected polyline in the selected mode irrespective of selected line type in the Select by Line Type list.
Incorrect number of polylines were displayed when importing from an ASCII file When you use the File > Classic Import > Lines from ASCII File > Status Lines from Delimited File command, the Special Polyline Loading dialog box now displays the correct number of polylines imported from an ASCII file.
The Pack-and-Go function was not working MSXML 4.0 which is required for using the Pack-and-Go function, is now added as a prerequisite in GEMS. It is available in the GEMS setup DVD in the Client\Prerequisites location.
GEMS will not provide support for SQL Server 2000 and 2005 GEMS will not provide support for SQL 2000 and 2005 related issue, since Microsoft no longer provides support for these versions. Currently, Microsoft supports SQL Server 2008 (Datacenter edition only), 2012 (SP3 or Enterprise or Parallel Data Warehouse edition), or 2012 later versions. If you are using any discontinued SQL server, it is advised to move to Microsoft supported SQL Server versions. Also, the later versions of GEMS removes support for SQL Server versions that are not supported by Microsoft.
The Save Profile As button was not working You can now use the Save Profile As button to save a copy of the profiles of Vertical, Plan-view and Inclined sections.
