Solution using a stereonet proceed as follows see figures 3 and 4. Attitude measurements, true and apparent dips, and threepoint problems. Stereographic projection is about representing planar and linear features in a twodimensional diagram.
A pole plot is the most basic representation of the orientation data. You can assume that the fault has a negligible rotational component of rigid body deformation. The intercepts are projected onto a plan and labelled with the height of each intersection above a common datum.
