- reference line always on bottom side of the core in borehole dd-direction

- a and b MUST be defined from the core part AFTER the joint when looking in coring direction
- b is defined clockwise relative to reference line when looking in direction of drilling
- positive dip and dip directions for BOREHOLE are measured UP from horizontal and CLOCKWISE from the N
- positive dip and dip directions for JOINT are given DOWN from horizontal and CLOCKWISE from the North
- to calculate, paste all alfa and beta values below and click calc-button, calculation is stopped to first blank join
- borehole bearing and dip can be given for each joint, if not then default value beside above is used
