Introduction
------------



This tool is used to convert hangingwall/footwall polylines into composite drillholes. (complex coal)
A temporary file 9 is generated each run.  Every drillhole interval will be assigned the following values:
- Seam Dip: calculated from the start/end coordinates of the corresponding polyline segment.
- Seam Code: obtained by looking up the model code associated with the MSR material.

Before running the tool, the user can thin or re-densify the polylines in order to create the desired number of intervals.

The resulting drillhole file can be used to interpolate the seam dip into a 3D block model.  This information can help you predict the different equipment requirements (eg. dozer vs. backhoe vs. shovel).
