[00:00:06.810]
<v Sarah>Hello, and welcome</v>

[00:00:08.120]
to the Leapfrog Geo 6.01 release webinar.

[00:00:13.520]
My name is Sarah Connolly,

[00:00:15.260]
I’m a senior project geologist with Seequent

[00:00:17.940]
based in our Vancouver office in North America.

[00:00:24.300]
This new release is the really big one for Seequent.

[00:00:27.600]
It not only looks different as we’ve updated the interface,

[00:00:31.340]
but it also has some key features

[00:00:33.640]
that a lot of customers have been asking for.

[00:00:38.120]
This webinar will focus on the geo product,

[00:00:41.000]
but we do press into the realm of central

[00:00:43.760]
through imparting and publishing options.

[00:00:48.820]
During the webinar,

[00:00:49.720]
I will introduce you to the improvements and features

[00:00:52.790]
within geo through a show presentation.

[00:00:55.970]
And then I will move on to a live demonstration

[00:00:58.740]
so you can see some of the features in action.

[00:01:03.600]
Before we get going,

[00:01:05.160]
just a couple of go-to webinar logistics.

[00:01:08.450]
If you take a look at the dialogue,

[00:01:10.520]
you should see a window for questions.

[00:01:14.380]
I won’t be answering them along the way.

[00:01:16.500]
However, please do use this panel to answer your questions.

[00:01:19.920]
And we will answer these with a personal email

[00:01:22.090]
after the webinar ends.

[00:01:31.800]
So what’s new in Leapfrog Geo 6.0.1?

[00:01:37.690]
Here’s an overview of some of the main themes

[00:01:39.530]
we’ll be discussing in the webinar.

[00:01:43.380]
I’ll introduce them here

[00:01:44.410]
and describe them in more detail as we go.

[00:01:48.380]
So we’ll start out with that user interface,

[00:01:51.660]
but also You’ve Spoken and We’ve Listened,

[00:01:55.380]
and this has led to better Mesh Handling and improvements

[00:01:58.980]
along Usability, Drilling and Interoperability.

[00:02:05.947]
Please also note that we’ve released

[00:02:07.850]
an updated version of 6.0.1 already.

[00:02:13.320]
We identified an issue which may have presented you

[00:02:15.690]
with a challenge accessing the new version of the software.

[00:02:19.350]
As always, we want to deliver

[00:02:20.800]
a great user experience for you,

[00:02:22.820]
and we’re pleased to say this is now being fixed

[00:02:25.090]
and that the new release is ready for you to download.

[00:02:31.240]
So the new interface.

[00:02:33.810]
There’s no escaping the fact

[00:02:35.450]
that it looks different to the last release.

[00:02:39.870]
Hopefully you’re find it sleek, streamlined,

[00:02:43.150]
and brings cohesion across our range of product.

[00:02:46.890]
And while it may appear quite different at first glance,

[00:02:50.110]
all the functionality remains

[00:02:51.570]
in exactly the same place as it was before.

[00:02:56.070]
So you can see that the Project Tree, shape list.

[00:02:59.100]
menus and icons have changed,

[00:03:01.730]
but the layout remains the same.

[00:03:05.640]
Any of those modeling functions that you were used to

[00:03:08.380]
by right clicking and selecting the option you need

[00:03:11.640]
will still be there.

[00:03:15.180]
Usability improvements.

[00:03:17.220]
So we really want to show you the work

[00:03:20.270]
we’ve put in to making your experience better

[00:03:22.390]
when using some of the main functionalities.

[00:03:25.940]
And this is highlighted in the drilling data and the meshes.

[00:03:32.150]
So with the drillholes,

[00:03:33.770]
we wanted to focus on speed improvements

[00:03:36.830]
and we’ve made changes to ensure

[00:03:39.910]
that drilling data processes much quicker.

[00:03:43.580]
There’s an improved import drillhole window.

[00:03:46.680]
We have the ability to delete and renamed columns

[00:03:50.130]
and also write calculations on our drillhole tables.

[00:03:54.930]
For meshes, we know it’s often a struggle to detect

[00:03:58.410]
where there’s errors are in the mesh,

[00:04:01.920]
but now we have improved for the ability of these issues

[00:04:04.610]
so you can better understand how to fix your meshes.

[00:04:09.290]
So there’s improved classification of error types,

[00:04:12.450]
visualization of border edges and other errors in the scene.

[00:04:18.400]
And we’ve also redefined some meshes

[00:04:20.890]
that were previously unusable, non manifold methods.

[00:04:27.700]
Let’s talk about those drillhole data improvements.

[00:04:32.670]
The new version of Geo

[00:04:33.740]
allows for parallel processing changes,

[00:04:37.020]
which in turn will enable faster loading.

[00:04:40.990]
So your color survey and integral tables

[00:04:44.090]
will all load at the same time now.

[00:04:47.300]
This has produced significant improvements

[00:04:49.523]
in drillhole loading time,

[00:04:51.290]
and depending on the complexity of your projects,

[00:04:53.980]
sometimes we’ve seen up to a 40% reduction in load time.

[00:05:00.640]
The drillhole import window

[00:05:02.350]
has some extra options available now.

[00:05:05.440]
So you can now include the option to impart downhole points

[00:05:09.880]
at the same time as your interval data.

[00:05:18.000]
This one’s going to be a big win for lots of people.

[00:05:21.940]
Have you made that mistake when imparting your columns,

[00:05:26.210]
but then not being able to get rid of them,

[00:05:28.440]
or sometimes you just no longer require

[00:05:30.310]
one of your data columns?

[00:05:32.750]
Well, now you can delete those columns

[00:05:35.460]
that are no longer required.

[00:05:37.507]
And this is going to enable you

[00:05:39.010]
to keep your data up to date and relevant.

[00:05:44.120]
As you can see from this lift, it’s available for colors,

[00:05:47.490]
integral tables and screens,

[00:05:50.303]
downhole points and structural data lineations

[00:05:53.137]
and planar structural data along with GIS data as well.

[00:06:02.558]
And the other one that I’m really excited about

[00:06:04.350]
is calculations on drillholes.

[00:06:07.350]
So you may be familiar with our calculations

[00:06:09.760]
within block models are on the point objects.

[00:06:13.950]
These are now available on all drillhole interval tables.

[00:06:19.130]
So you can create both numeric and categorical calculations

[00:06:22.860]
to develop new analysis workflows.

[00:06:28.072]
During that calculation process,

[00:06:29.560]
you have access to the following metadata;

[00:06:32.970]
hole IDs from and to, interval length,

[00:06:37.210]
interval midpoints along with X, Y, Z coordinates.

[00:06:42.370]
And using then this calculation tab,

[00:06:44.200]
you’ll be able to write calculations

[00:06:46.600]
that will categorize combine or reclassify your data.

[00:06:53.330]
Along with being able to do this on your drillholes,

[00:06:56.360]
you can now also do calculations on your derived points

[00:07:01.640]
to better classify and filter them.

[00:07:05.010]
Derived points would include mid points, dyed points,

[00:07:08.700]
grid points, which may have been calculated

[00:07:11.140]
from other data in your model.

[00:07:13.920]
Previously, this was only available on imported points.

[00:07:22.330]
We went onto those mesh tool improvements I talked about.

[00:07:28.210]
One of the most common issues our users run into

[00:07:31.460]
is when they’re importing meshes

[00:07:33.210]
from another software package.

[00:07:36.410]
When it’s brought into Leapfrog,

[00:07:37.930]
sometimes you might have an error associated with that mesh.

[00:07:44.000]
Leapfrog isn’t always the best at telling you

[00:07:45.880]
where those issues actually arise.

[00:07:48.530]
And some of the improvements we’ve made,

[00:07:50.650]
including the classification of error types

[00:07:54.330]
will help you on this.

[00:07:57.100]
It’s not clear which errors the mesh contained

[00:07:59.450]
from the Project Tree view

[00:08:01.530]
instead of having to look at the properties of the mesh.

[00:08:06.990]
And we’ll categorize the errors into non-manifold edges,

[00:08:10.830]
odd non-manifold edges, self-intersections,

[00:08:14.940]
and the borders or holes.

[00:08:19.190]
We also allow for the visualization

[00:08:20.880]
of the border edges in the scene.

[00:08:23.570]
So below your mesh, you’ll get an extra object

[00:08:26.490]
which you can drag and load in the 3D scene.

[00:08:30.870]
This means that you can view the location of the issue

[00:08:33.480]
independent of the mesh.

[00:08:35.890]
And also you can actually export that land fill

[00:08:39.420]
to be visualized in the soft program

[00:08:41.560]
where the mesh where the originally made.

[00:08:45.920]
We’ve also added extra categorization

[00:08:48.260]
to the way we define non-manifold meshes.

[00:08:52.180]
As well as being able to view the non-manifold edges

[00:08:54.770]
in the scene as their own object,

[00:08:57.970]
we’ve also enabled some non-manifold meshes

[00:09:00.510]
to be used downstream that were once unusable.

[00:09:06.890]
If your non-manifold mesh

[00:09:08.530]
has an even number of adjoining triangles,

[00:09:12.090]
they are now able to be used downstream

[00:09:15.540]
either in a geological model

[00:09:17.490]
or as an estimation domain for example.

[00:09:22.130]
A non-manifold mesh

[00:09:23.770]
with an odd number of adjoining triangles

[00:09:26.280]
will now feature objet named odd non-manifold edges,

[00:09:30.840]
and these will remain unusable.

[00:09:36.650]
So I mentioned that You Spoke and We Listened

[00:09:40.070]
and we’re happy to announce

[00:09:41.490]
we’ve got some highly requested features

[00:09:45.110]
to be released for your use.

[00:09:50.237]
And these include visualizing the depth in the scene,

[00:09:54.690]
reordering legend items

[00:09:58.200]
and projecting a subset of colors onto the topography.

[00:10:03.500]
So the depth markers can be added

[00:10:05.730]
to the drillhole traces now.

[00:10:07.960]
You previously added this to the cross sections,

[00:10:10.450]
but now it’s available in the 3D scene as well.

[00:10:14.670]
You can customize how often the ticks are,

[00:10:17.550]
how often they are also labeled,

[00:10:19.540]
how big they are, et cetera,

[00:10:21.530]
to ensure you can still see them alongside your drilling.

[00:10:26.070]
You’ve also requested many times

[00:10:28.260]
the ability to change the order of legend.

[00:10:31.660]
If you open the Edit Colors menu from any category column,

[00:10:35.850]
to see the list of legend items,

[00:10:38.500]
there are arrows to change their order

[00:10:40.990]
to match the unit chronology for example.

[00:10:44.840]
Changes made to the legend will update subsequent objects,

[00:10:48.720]
but you also have the freedom to set a different order.

[00:10:54.140]
This way in the drill holes on the cross section,

[00:10:56.180]
will adopt the same legend order as your base color.

[00:11:01.710]
You also asked to be able to project a subset of colors

[00:11:04.620]
onto topography or any surface.

[00:11:09.130]
So in the new release,

[00:11:10.270]
when choosing to set the elevation for your color points,

[00:11:13.810]
you can now apply a query filter.

[00:11:17.620]
You can choose basically any subset of data

[00:11:20.280]
defined by that query filter

[00:11:22.640]
to change the elevation of the Z value of your color.

[00:11:29.040]
You’re not just limited to the topography,

[00:11:31.050]
you can choose any surface to project your colors onto.

[00:11:38.010]
In this release, we wanted to make the tie

[00:11:40.170]
to the Seequent products even stronger

[00:11:42.480]
through our interoperability improvement.

[00:11:47.679]
Through the OMF, we can now import 2D and 3D

[00:11:50.460]
geophysical grids into Leapfrog.

[00:11:54.177]
And through Seequent Central,

[00:11:55.420]
we can import more than ever from other projects

[00:11:58.630]
on the data room, Failed tab

[00:12:00.143]
and the Seequent Central portal.

[00:12:04.350]
With the OMF and the import of 2D and 3D

[00:12:07.630]
geophysical grids and geo services from Oasis montaj,

[00:12:12.270]
these imported grids now have improved discreet colourmap

[00:12:15.140]
to ensure that they will match those on Oasis montaj.

[00:12:19.280]
You can also import these directly

[00:12:20.900]
from the Central Data Room.

[00:12:26.710]
When it comes to central, the ability to import meshes

[00:12:29.850]
from other central projects into your own,

[00:12:33.160]
with a feature of a previous release,

[00:12:36.520]
we have this part of objects

[00:12:38.400]
able to be imported from an existing central project

[00:12:41.600]
to include structural data points and polylines.

[00:12:47.040]
Geological models and refine models can also be imported.

[00:12:51.350]
They will come in as static models.

[00:12:54.780]
As well as being able to import from other central projects,

[00:12:58.120]
you can now import from the Data Remove Project

[00:13:00.590]
through the Files tab.

[00:13:02.730]
Support has also been added

[00:13:04.180]
for the point structural data in polylines in this scenario.

[00:13:10.150]
You can now also upload your drilling data

[00:13:12.980]
to the Central Data Room and use this

[00:13:15.520]
as the foundation of your project.

[00:13:19.710]
When new visions of your drillhole data

[00:13:22.730]
has been uploaded to the Central Data Room,

[00:13:26.420]
and within your Leapfrog Geo project,

[00:13:28.680]
if those files were used,

[00:13:31.630]
they will appear out of date in the Project Tree.

[00:13:35.730]
A little clock displays on each of the tables.

[00:13:38.780]
Anyone using your data will not reload

[00:13:41.980]
with the latest version of the drilling from the Data Room.

[00:13:47.600]
Along with update sharing,

[00:13:49.580]
we’ve also improved our publishing from central.

[00:13:54.970]
It now includes publishing

[00:13:57.210]
of drillhole traces and lineations.

[00:14:01.700]
Now we will jump into Leapfrog Geo

[00:14:04.000]
to demonstrate some of the features I have talked about.

[00:14:08.670]
So here I am in Leapfrog Geo version six,

[00:14:12.660]
and as promised, it looks a little different.

[00:14:16.410]
However, we still have the Project Tree

[00:14:18.450]
on the left-hand side with all the folders that you used to.

[00:14:23.620]
The 3D scene in the middle, and our shape list

[00:14:29.470]
and properties panel down below.

[00:14:34.460]
The first feature that I’m going to demonstrate

[00:14:37.420]
within the software is the ability to project

[00:14:40.340]
a subset of colors onto the topography.

[00:14:44.703]
So you can see from this project

[00:14:46.370]
that I have both surface holes and underground holes

[00:14:52.290]
that were drilled once the mining had advanced.

[00:14:58.750]
Within my Drillhole data folder, under my color table

[00:15:04.570]
I’ve already created two query filters

[00:15:08.720]
to isolate my surface hole colors

[00:15:13.070]
from my underground hole colors.

[00:15:21.940]
If I want to project just my surface drill holes

[00:15:25.300]
onto this topography,

[00:15:26.990]
if I’m really confident that my pickup

[00:15:29.800]
is the more accurate data source,

[00:15:33.040]
then I can right click on the Color table,

[00:15:36.340]
head down the menu to Set Elevation,

[00:15:42.930]
and within this window, I get to select the query filter

[00:15:47.100]
that I want to subset my database on.

[00:15:49.950]
So I’m going to pick the surface holes.

[00:15:54.910]
From the surface, I get to select

[00:15:57.620]
what I would like to project the colors onto.

[00:16:01.100]
I’m going to pick my typography.

[00:16:04.490]
You can see that all the other surfaces within my project

[00:16:07.450]
are available in this list.

[00:16:10.050]
So it’s just a choice of what I use.

[00:16:13.860]
I’ll click “Okay.”

[00:16:15.660]
And this will reset any of the elevation

[00:16:19.260]
from my surface hole colors onto the topography

[00:16:24.040]
by altering the Z value.

[00:16:27.630]
Obviously this will then process

[00:16:29.070]
anything downstream within my project.

[00:16:33.830]
If I open up my Color table, you can now see

[00:16:37.790]
that not only do I have my X, Y and Z point for my color,

[00:16:43.780]
which is the original,

[00:16:45.590]
I also have a new column called Zed on terrain.

[00:16:50.400]
And you can see that there are slight changes

[00:16:52.780]
for some of my color points.

[00:16:57.610]
If for some reason I like to decide

[00:17:00.380]
that I don’t want to use that Z

[00:17:02.430]
that we’ve projected onto the topography,

[00:17:06.290]
I expand out the color elevation above the table

[00:17:10.750]
and I can always switch back to using the color elevation

[00:17:14.140]
from my original Z value.

[00:17:23.070]
So that is how you project a subset of data

[00:17:26.710]
onto a particular surface from your color table.

[00:17:34.520]
Next step I want to take a look

[00:17:36.240]
at my depth visualization in the 3D scene.

[00:17:41.700]
And I’ve isolated some data

[00:17:43.330]
so I’m only looking at small amounts of drilling.

[00:17:46.730]
I have my assets displayed,

[00:17:49.150]
and if I click on any of my intervals,

[00:17:52.290]
I’d like to draw your eye down to the data window

[00:17:55.120]
in the left-hand side, where you can now see

[00:17:58.530]
that we have an extra metadata called Downhole depth.

[00:18:04.350]
So depending on where you click on the drillhole,

[00:18:08.260]
the downhole depth will be displayed in this window,

[00:18:11.910]
along with the actual interval from and to as well.

[00:18:18.650]
If I’d actually like to be able to see

[00:18:20.470]
my downhole depth mark as well,

[00:18:23.800]
I need to head up to my Project Tree,

[00:18:26.320]
find the drillhole traces and load those into the scene.

[00:18:31.150]
I will apply the same query filter for these as well.

[00:18:37.710]
In order to display my depth marks in the properties panel

[00:18:41.860]
in the bottom right-hand corner,

[00:18:44.850]
I can tick on the Show Depth Marks,

[00:18:48.400]
and then I have some choices to make.

[00:18:51.430]
I get to decide how often I want to create a tick.

[00:18:55.640]
I’ll drop that down to every two meters,

[00:19:00.750]
how large I would like my tick width to be,

[00:19:06.400]
and how often I would like to label them.

[00:19:15.499]
You can dictate this in the window with the value,

[00:19:18.400]
but you do also need to show the text

[00:19:21.420]
within the Shape List objects as well.

[00:19:24.880]
So here, you can see I’ve labeled every 10 ticks.

[00:19:28.350]
I have my ticks for every two meters.

[00:19:30.600]
I get my depth mark at 20, 40, 60, et cetera, down the hole.

[00:19:40.080]
You can shift them to the left or the right-hand side,

[00:19:43.150]
and you can change the whole ID label as well.

[00:19:58.010]
Next, we’ll take a look at reloading our drilling

[00:20:01.050]
from the Central Data Room.

[00:20:03.680]
So we take a close look

[00:20:05.730]
at the drillhole tables in this project.

[00:20:08.290]
You can see that there’s a small C on each of the tables.

[00:20:13.220]
This shows that when the drill holes were first imported,

[00:20:16.920]
they were imported from the Central Data Room.

[00:20:21.290]
You may also notice that there is a small clock

[00:20:23.850]
on each of the tables.

[00:20:26.980]
This dictates that since I’ve been working on this project,

[00:20:31.692]
a new version of the CSVs for the drillholes

[00:20:36.730]
have been uploaded to the Central Data Room.

[00:20:41.270]
This has informed me now that my drilling has been updated.

[00:20:46.140]
Whenever I want to be working

[00:20:47.840]
from the most up-to-date version of my database,

[00:20:50.570]
I should reload the tables.

[00:20:54.040]
There are a few options here.

[00:20:56.380]
On individual tables, you can right click

[00:21:00.610]
and you can either decide to import the column

[00:21:03.360]
from the Latest File version,

[00:21:06.060]
or import the column from the File History.

[00:21:10.430]
When you pick this option, you can go to any version

[00:21:13.610]
that was published to the data room.

[00:21:18.100]
When you pick the Latest File version,

[00:21:20.230]
it will go to the very last version that was uploaded.

[00:21:27.320]
If I want to reload all of the tables at one go,

[00:21:30.640]
I can simply right click on the top level drillholes object

[00:21:34.910]
and reload the latest file versions.

[00:21:40.890]
This is then going to look to the Central Data Room,

[00:21:44.510]
see the new versions of the CSVs,

[00:21:47.240]
and I will then go through the process

[00:21:50.110]
of updating my drilling.

[00:21:52.340]
So you can still just check that the correct columns

[00:21:54.690]
have been imported and go from there.

[00:22:04.760]
The power of this workflow

[00:22:06.240]
comes when you’ve got a centralized data set,

[00:22:09.910]
but multiple people potentially working

[00:22:11.910]
on different projects from the same dataset.

[00:22:15.290]
You only need to update the Central Data Room one time

[00:22:19.700]
for all the people in their different projects

[00:22:22.480]
to see that there’s a new version

[00:22:25.080]
and that they can upload their local project.

[00:22:30.100]
This will take a few minutes to reprocess.

[00:22:40.550]
Now I’m going to demonstrate, well,

[00:22:42.710]
I think is the most exciting feature of this new release.

[00:22:46.200]
Calculations directly on drillhole tables.

[00:22:51.400]
In the same way just looking at my top hole obviously,

[00:22:54.890]
my drilling that’s been displayed

[00:22:56.440]
by my lithology from the login,

[00:22:59.340]
along with a couple of massive sulfide lenses

[00:23:02.960]
that have been modeled from the data.

[00:23:07.600]
If I want to create a calculation on any of my tables,

[00:23:11.280]
I right click on them in the Project Tree,

[00:23:14.170]
find the calculations in the menu,

[00:23:17.760]
and that will open this interface

[00:23:20.310]
where you can see that we have

[00:23:22.020]
our variables and calculations on the left,

[00:23:25.560]
a list of metadata and data from your drillhole table,

[00:23:33.980]
along with syntax and functions on the right hand side.

[00:23:38.710]
On my geology table,

[00:23:39.830]
I’m going to build a simple calculation

[00:23:42.600]
to use my geology as a proxy for my density.

[00:23:48.380]
So I’m going to create a new item

[00:23:51.490]
that the ability to create variables,

[00:23:53.730]
numeric and categorical calculations.

[00:23:57.490]
I’ll go for a numeric one today, and I’ll name this density.

[00:24:07.210]
And I really like to use these pick lists

[00:24:09.410]
on the right hand side to build my calculation.

[00:24:13.380]
And today I’m going to use a simple if statement

[00:24:18.890]
to say that if my lithology equals my LMS one,

[00:24:25.990]
my massive sulfide one, or, again,

[00:24:30.350]
I go to the syntax on the right hand side,

[00:24:33.880]
my lithology equals LMS two.

[00:24:38.190]
I’m going to give this a value of 4.5.

[00:24:41.630]
Otherwise I’ll set it at my background

[00:24:45.860]
density of around 2.7.

[00:24:49.500]
Once I click Save, that calculation will stall

[00:24:54.440]
within my geology table.

[00:24:58.260]
If I close that interphase,

[00:24:59.960]
and now I look to my 3D scene,

[00:25:03.560]
again, I’ll just hide those two volumes.

[00:25:07.630]
I can look to my geology table in the shape list

[00:25:11.850]
for the dropdown.

[00:25:13.590]
I can now display my drilling via the density.

[00:25:20.260]
And you can see that where I had

[00:25:21.640]
those two massive sulfide lenses,

[00:25:24.000]
which was based, modeled from my lithology,

[00:25:29.640]
I now have set the density values as 4.5.

[00:25:38.560]
So that’s one example of a calculation.

[00:25:43.700]
Another one that I’ll do on my essay table.

[00:25:46.980]
I’ll just remove a few things from the scene

[00:25:50.830]
and load in my essays, remove any filters.

[00:25:56.680]
If I’m going to create a calculation to display

[00:26:02.020]
my gram meters for my gold values.

[00:26:05.330]
So again, I right click on the table, find my calculations,

[00:26:11.560]
and then this will open up my calculations

[00:26:14.760]
from my essay table.

[00:26:17.210]
So you can see I’ve actually

[00:26:18.140]
already got a few things loaded in here.

[00:26:21.240]
I’ve got some variables that are defining

[00:26:23.730]
the current price of silver as zinc and lead.

[00:26:27.670]
I’ve created some factors between my different metals,

[00:26:33.270]
and then I’ve used these variables

[00:26:35.110]
in a zinc equivalency calculation

[00:26:38.310]
to combine the different metals

[00:26:40.280]
that I’m interested in in this deposit.

[00:26:48.400]
I’ll create the new calculation now,

[00:26:50.560]
which again, is just going to be a new item,

[00:26:54.040]
a numeric calculation.

[00:26:55.870]
This time I’m going to calculate my gram meters,

[00:27:04.548]
click “Okay” and this one’s going to be even more simple.

[00:27:09.320]
I’m going to go to my main metadata list.

[00:27:14.360]
I’m going to grab my into the length

[00:27:16.740]
and multiply that directly by my gold value.

[00:27:21.720]
Length times grade and I’ve got my ground meters

[00:27:26.010]
for that drill hole interval

[00:27:30.520]
I’ll click Save,

[00:27:32.090]
and the same idea can be applied in the 3D scene.

[00:27:35.140]
So I go back to my Scene View

[00:27:37.860]
Now on my drop down,

[00:27:39.600]
I have my original elements that were assayed,

[00:27:42.760]
but I can also display my drilling by the gram meters,

[00:27:48.680]
or in fact that zinc equivalency calculation

[00:27:51.070]
that I already prepared and advanced.

[00:27:56.610]
Other examples of calculations that could be used include

[00:28:00.450]
element ratios for geochemical analysis.

[00:28:04.110]
So the metal equivalency calculations

[00:28:06.140]
depending on your deposit or creating top cap grade

[00:28:10.260]
variables for statistical analysis.

[00:28:13.940]
I’m sure you guys have lots of other ideas.

[00:28:15.900]
So maybe throw into the questions of some of the things

[00:28:20.010]
that you think you could potentially use this tool for.

[00:28:25.470]
Now we will take a look at the improved mesh error

[00:28:28.500]
visualization ability in Leapfrog.

[00:28:33.370]
In the scene I have a mesh that I have imported

[00:28:36.250]
from another software package.

[00:28:39.300]
In the projectory,

[00:28:40.640]
you can see that this mesh has been loaded

[00:28:42.960]
and we have the small exclamation mark

[00:28:45.740]
suggesting that there was an issue with the mesh.

[00:28:50.110]
Rather than having to right click and go to properties,

[00:28:52.720]
now if you expand the object,

[00:28:54.680]
you’ll see the issue sitting beneath it.

[00:28:57.710]
And in this example,

[00:28:58.940]
you can see that we have some self intersections.

[00:29:03.560]
I can load the self intersections in the scene

[00:29:06.500]
and it will be its own object.

[00:29:09.730]
I’ve already made it a nice bright color

[00:29:12.000]
by clicking on the little color swatch

[00:29:14.570]
and selecting something really bright.

[00:29:20.070]
To locate it, you can do a few things,

[00:29:22.090]
you could hide your original mesh.

[00:29:27.170]
You may wish to make your mesh translucent

[00:29:30.930]
say that you can kind of spin it around

[00:29:32.760]
and see where they’re located.

[00:29:35.860]
Or sometimes I prefer to just show the edges

[00:29:38.860]
and turn off the triangle faces.

[00:29:42.870]
And then it’s really obvious where those triangles are,

[00:29:45.870]
that’s our intersecting.

[00:29:49.330]
So you can’t necessarily fix these in Leapfrog.

[00:29:53.290]
However, if you right click and export,

[00:29:56.540]
you can export these as a number of different file types

[00:30:01.860]
in order to go back to the original software

[00:30:04.550]
and tweak the mesh within that.

[00:30:11.960]
I have another mesh within here,

[00:30:14.830]
that I’d like to load the fault zone,

[00:30:17.440]
and I’m going to expand out the object beneath it.

[00:30:22.160]
So there’s no actual error associated with this fault.

[00:30:26.810]
You can see that I have my broader edges

[00:30:29.560]
and my non-manifold edges.

[00:30:32.060]
So we do have some non-manifold edges.

[00:30:34.720]
However, this mesh is now allowed to continue on

[00:30:38.810]
down the workflow in Leapfrog.

[00:30:43.960]
If I want to visualize where these issues are all,

[00:30:50.970]
I can drag them into the scene

[00:30:52.800]
and you can see that the border edge

[00:30:54.930]
is simply a line around the margin of our mesh.

[00:31:00.450]
If I hide the mesh itself, you can see it more clearly.

[00:31:06.240]
If this mesh was actually missing a few triangles

[00:31:09.310]
and had any holes on the inside, we would also see

[00:31:12.690]
those being displayed in the scene from this feature.

[00:31:20.770]
For my non-manifold edges,

[00:31:22.350]
I can also drag those into the scene.

[00:31:25.910]
It’s been my model around and take a look

[00:31:28.760]
to see where those issues lie.

[00:31:31.440]
And again, I can use a different visualization tools

[00:31:35.180]
in order to zone in on the area I need to fix.

[00:31:42.270]
Remember any of these objects,

[00:31:44.150]
you can right click on them in the Project Tree X-Box

[00:31:48.040]
to take a look elsewhere.

[00:31:53.580]
Onto a simple one here,

[00:31:56.190]
which you’ve been asking for awhile,

[00:31:59.650]
which is reordering legends.

[00:32:02.070]
Here, I have my lithology table

[00:32:04.370]
and I want to list the legend in a different order.

[00:32:09.783]
I’ve got my drilling displayed and you can see my legend

[00:32:12.370]
in the top right hand corner.

[00:32:16.910]
All I need to do to reorder them

[00:32:18.900]
is to head down to the Shape List, click on my Edit colors,

[00:32:24.650]
and now along with being able to turn on

[00:32:27.200]
and off individual lithologies,

[00:32:30.140]
we can reorder them using the up and down arrows

[00:32:34.010]
on the right hand side.

[00:32:37.770]
So I can focus in on the lithologies that matter.

[00:32:46.180]
This can also be done within geological models

[00:32:49.730]
or anything else that you have a legend associated with it.

[00:32:54.940]
So if I just quickly clear my scene

[00:32:59.380]
I’m going to head down to bi-combined model,

[00:33:02.350]
and I’ve got a pick depletion model,

[00:33:06.140]
where I have my two massive sulfide lenses

[00:33:08.400]
coded by potential stage one stage two pits.

[00:33:14.580]
But you can see that my legend

[00:33:15.780]
is all over the place in the top right hand corner.

[00:33:19.350]
So again, all I need to do is edit colors

[00:33:22.580]
and just think a little bit about my legend over here.

[00:33:29.870]
So I’m going to do my LMS one stage one and two,

[00:33:34.231]
my LMS stage two, the one and two,

[00:33:39.130]
and then my two domains outside of the pit.

[00:33:47.200]
Last but not least, I’m going to show you the thing

[00:33:49.970]
that I think is the second most exciting thing

[00:33:52.940]
about this Geo release.

[00:33:56.030]
And that’s the ability to be able to import

[00:33:59.225]
a full geological model from another central project

[00:34:03.450]
into the project you’re working in.

[00:34:06.820]
Many users currently import output volumes

[00:34:09.860]
from a geological model produced in another Leapfrog project

[00:34:13.610]
as a mesh into the meshes folder.

[00:34:17.510]
This then requires the model to be rebuilt

[00:34:19.980]
within this current project.

[00:34:24.270]
With this latest release of Geo and central,

[00:34:27.240]
you’ll now be able to import full geological models

[00:34:30.450]
directly into the geological models folder.

[00:34:34.950]
These models will be static.

[00:34:37.630]
However, you can definitely use them

[00:34:40.170]
for downstream processes.

[00:34:42.020]
For example, if you evaluate them onto your drillholes

[00:34:45.453]
and you’re doing some EDA,

[00:34:48.190]
or you could use the output volumes

[00:34:49.730]
of these imported geological models

[00:34:52.200]
after means for resource estimation.

[00:34:58.700]
The process room part in these models is fairly simple.

[00:35:03.640]
As long as you’re connected to central,

[00:35:06.930]
you can right click on the geological models folder,

[00:35:10.590]
import the geological model from central,

[00:35:14.530]
and then look to your other projects

[00:35:18.090]
that you want to grab the model from.

[00:35:20.840]
In my case, I’m going to use the leader exploration project.

[00:35:28.130]
For this example, I’m going to import what we call

[00:35:30.340]
the upper Ms. geological model.

[00:35:34.920]
So I select it on the right hand side, click Import.

[00:35:42.370]
This project will look to central, import this model,

[00:35:46.100]
and you can see that I have a new model in my Project Tree.

[00:35:50.340]
If I drag this into the scene,

[00:35:52.550]
you can see it’s only for half of the data.

[00:35:57.900]
However, this is one of the branches

[00:36:00.580]
that one of my teams has been working on.

[00:36:03.000]
And then someone else would actually

[00:36:04.600]
working on the lower zone, which I could import as well.

[00:36:08.860]
One thing I like to show

[00:36:10.810]
is if I expand these out in the project tree,

[00:36:13.010]
you can see the boundary default system,

[00:36:15.930]
the surface chronology.

[00:36:18.530]
However, if I right click on any of the surfaces

[00:36:20.960]
under the surface chronology, they can’t be edited.

[00:36:24.290]
As I mentioned,

[00:36:25.350]
that needs to happen in the original projects.

[00:36:30.660]
If my colleagues that were working on this model updated

[00:36:34.350]
and republished a new version of this model,

[00:36:37.690]
similar to my drillhole data,

I would get the small clock on the geological model.

[00:36:43.600]
And it would tell me

[00:36:44.433]
that there’s a new version of this model

[00:36:46.560]
and do I want to reload the latest on that branch?

[00:37:01.980]
So with that, I’d like to thank you for joining me today.

[00:37:06.080]
Please, as I mentioned,

[00:37:07.770]
ask any questions that you have in the window,

[00:37:11.370]
and we will endeavor to get back to you

[00:37:13.430]
on any of your questions as soon as possible.

[00:37:17.280]
If something pops up later on,

[00:37:19.880]
or you watch the recording rather than see this live,

[00:37:23.020]
then do feel free to reach out to [email protected].

[00:37:28.550]
And we’ll put you in touch

[00:37:29.850]
with someone from our technical team

[00:37:32.160]
to discuss any of your questions or queries.

[00:37:36.160]
Thank you and I hope that you enjoy the new release.
