Hey can you please show me the formulas to convert the Inc, Azi to X, Y, and Z coordinates.

Hi @40uf411

To convert md, inc, azi to x, y, z, the minimum curvature method is used. A search on the internet will quickly get you the formulas, but if you want to see how it's coded then there's a MinCurve class here in the utils module.

Thank you very much.
