[00:00:01.610] <encoded_tag_open />v Gary<encoded_tag_closed />Hello and welcome to today’s webinar,<encoded_tag_open />/v<encoded_tag_closed />
[00:00:05.017] ”How Central Helps Teams Work Remotely.”
[00:00:08.710] My name is Gary Johnson
[00:00:10.260] and I am one of the customer solutions specialist
[00:00:12.920] for Seequent Civil and Environmental team.
[00:00:15.720] If you haven’t spoken with me
[00:00:17.530] or one of my colleagues on the support team,
[00:00:20.230] I urge you to reach out and we would be happy to help
[00:00:22.560] with your projects or answer any questions
[00:00:24.500] that you might have.
[00:00:26.230] We are here and happy to help.
[00:00:29.050] I know that many of you are currently working remotely,
[00:00:33.020] but I like to keep in mind that we’re still here
[00:00:35.170] and very happy to help,
[00:00:37.040] and you can still reach us at any time.
[00:00:43.190] Some of the guidelines and or software requirements
[00:00:46.420] for today’s webinar,
[00:00:48.180] in order to go through the entire workflow
[00:00:50.260] of what we’ll be demonstrating,
[00:00:52.210] you will need Central and Leapfrog Works.
[00:00:56.780] One thing to note, the audience will be muted
[00:00:58.930] during the demonstration.
[00:01:00.910] For any questions that you might have,
[00:01:02.480] please use the chat window and go to webinars,
[00:01:04.810] these will be followed up within 24 to 48 hours.
[00:01:09.540] Please also kindly stay on the line
[00:01:12.390] after the webinar has completed
[00:01:14.130] to partake in a short survey.
[00:01:15.950] This will only be brief and a few questions
[00:01:17.910] and is very much appreciated by myself and my team.
[00:01:24.440] At Seequent, our vision is to enable better decisions
[00:01:27.920] about the earth, environment and our energy challenges.
[00:01:35.430] Very often, we’ll be working with data
[00:01:37.720] and projects and a team.
[00:01:39.950] And the decision process requires first of all,
[00:01:44.100] accessibility to the data,
[00:01:46.510] but of course, we want to be able to collaborate,
[00:01:48.360] we don’t want decisions to be made
[00:01:49.960] on a single person’s input.
[00:01:52.420] And then of course,
[00:01:53.253] once you’ve made some decisions and collaborated,
[00:01:55.300] we want to be able to audit and or make edits
[00:01:58.560] to the models and or anything involved
[00:02:02.890] in the decision-making process of the project.
[00:02:05.580] And so our projects are very complex
[00:02:09.250] and they often have a long life cycle.
[00:02:12.020] This often requires specialized professionals to collect,
[00:02:15.210] analyze, and interpret data.
[00:02:18.350] We know that data accessibility and transparency
[00:02:20.850] throughout the project’s life cycle is very important,
[00:02:24.100] and we know that many different individuals
[00:02:26.083] often need to actively collaborate
[00:02:28.780] and or communicate with the project and the data involved
[00:02:31.710] in order to end up at an ultimate decision.
[00:02:39.500] Of course, many of you are currently working remotely.
[00:02:47.290] Of course, with the current climate,
[00:02:49.210] we understand that many of you might be working remotely.
[00:02:52.780] I myself am also working remotely,
[00:02:54.810] I’ve converted my bedroom to a temporary office.
[00:02:58.870] And my apologies if you hear the train in the background
[00:03:01.860] as I actually live right next to some train tracks.
[00:03:05.980] One thing to keep in mind when working remotely
[00:03:08.640] is that data needs to be organized and stored
[00:03:11.060] in a way that it can be easily accessed, manage
[00:03:13.890] and then integrated
[00:03:15.110] into the ultimate decision-making process.
[00:03:18.400] And so, one of the things that’s really nice
[00:03:21.130] about Seequent Central
[00:03:22.220] is it is a cloud-based server platform
[00:03:25.460] that allows individuals across the globe
[00:03:28.260] to access the models, track changes,
[00:03:32.060] and really enhances model management and collaboration
[00:03:34.730] among teams.
[00:03:37.110] As many of you might be aware,
[00:03:38.900] when sharing Leapfrog projects,
[00:03:41.280] we always urge you to send zip copies
[00:03:44.177] and not store these on a OneDrive and or external drives.
[00:03:48.490] And so, Seequent Central was actually originally designed
[00:03:52.510] to eliminate the painstaking process
[00:03:55.070] of passing around and sharing models,
[00:03:57.020] and then trying to check changes on those.
[00:03:59.020] And so we will demonstrate in this webinar,
[00:04:02.270] how this enables you to do so.
[00:04:06.690] Instant accessibility is of course important
[00:04:10.110] for all phases of the project’s life cycle,
[00:04:12.780] ensuring that one version of the truth
[00:04:14.940] and providing instant accessibility is very important.
[00:04:19.860] And we want to ensure that teams are able to relate
[00:04:22.690] reliable decisions based off multiple inputs fast
[00:04:27.220] and in a safe and secure manner.
[00:04:33.720] We also want to ensure that we remain connected
[00:04:35.990] on all levels,
[00:04:37.370] whether you are technical and you are actually modeling
[00:04:41.010] and creating 3D models,
[00:04:43.210] whether you are one of the decision makers
[00:04:45.890] in this case, likely a project manager,
[00:04:48.830] and or maybe a regulator such as the EPA.
[00:04:52.310] We want to make sure that everyone is involved
[00:04:54.920] at all points in the process,
[00:04:56.520] and that you have complete control over who is involved.
[00:04:59.690] We also want to enable you to QA and QC your models
[00:05:03.470] through time and track changes.
[00:05:06.700] But of course, tell a story,
[00:05:08.380] and so, I like to think of every project as a story.
[00:05:12.540] And how do you communicate that story,
[00:05:14.090] and how do you tell that through time?
[00:05:16.260] Whether it’s the beginning of your project or the end,
[00:05:18.910] and you’re trying to demonstrate
[00:05:20.690] how you’ve made your ultimate decisions,
[00:05:23.510] Central enables you to do so.
[00:05:30.390] Of course, being a cloud-based server,
[00:05:32.910] this allows you to collaborate across distances
[00:05:35.430] and disciplines.
[00:05:37.210] We can manage your model in a single environment,
[00:05:40.850] we can visualize and track changes,
[00:05:43.760] make decisions collaboratively.
[00:05:47.680] And we can also document a coherent audit trail
[00:05:50.870] through time, this is very important,
[00:05:53.230] and often, this is where projects run into trouble,
[00:05:56.560] and we hope to give you a nice and easy solution to that
[00:06:01.050] via Central.
[00:06:02.610] Central allows geologists, geotechnical engineers,
[00:06:07.880] civil engineers, everyone involved in the project life cycle
[00:06:12.000] to have a seat at the table.
[00:06:13.700] And this is really nice because it enhances collaboration
[00:06:18.630] where there might have been some gaps or voids previously.
[00:06:22.750] And so, it brings everyone together into a single platform
[00:06:27.210] on a single team and allows you to move forward
[00:06:30.140] making decisions accordingly.
[00:06:36.680] Of course, we always want to save time and digital space.
[00:06:40.140] Space on a hard drive is very important,
[00:06:42.080] and that’s why the cloud has really revolutionized
[00:06:45.550] in the past few years.
[00:06:47.470] Central is a cloud-based server,
[00:06:49.590] and we also have newly developed a Data Room.
[00:06:53.880] The Data Room is an online based platform
[00:06:58.170] which you can access on your Central portal,
[00:07:00.830] this is also cloud-based,
[00:07:02.680] and you can actually add an organize any file type,
[00:07:06.080] whether it’s a geologic models,
[00:07:07.680] designs, reports, PowerPoints,
[00:07:11.340] any single file type can be uploaded and organized
[00:07:14.510] in the Data Room according to the project.
[00:07:17.050] And so you can keep everything for your project
[00:07:19.470] in a single space ensuring that your lifecycle
[00:07:22.820] is organized of your project,
[00:07:24.537] and you can always go back in time
[00:07:26.990] and see exactly what you might’ve been referring to
[00:07:30.580] and or keep all of your files in a single place.
[00:07:35.490] We also have the ability here in Central
[00:07:38.520] to upload many different versions of a single project,
[00:07:41.810] but only store a single one of those on your local drive,
[00:07:45.260] this can free up a bunch of space
[00:07:46.710] where you previously might have had multiple versions
[00:07:49.750] of a project that are each multiple gigabytes,
[00:07:52.670] now you can only have a single one of those,
[00:07:55.530] the one that you’re currently working on
[00:07:57.470] while the rest of them are stored securely
[00:07:59.540] in the cloud environment of Central.
[00:08:05.390] How does it work?
[00:08:06.320] So this is where we’ll actually jump into a brief demo,
[00:08:09.500] the first thing I will show you
[00:08:10.680] is the Central browser in the middle,
[00:08:12.800] we will then jump into the Central port on the right,
[00:08:15.620] and then we will revert back to the Leapfrog modeling suite,
[00:08:18.830] which you are likely familiar with.
[00:08:21.540] If you are familiar with the Leapfrog modeling suite,
[00:08:23.800] this is of course, where you be creating
[00:08:27.040] and editing your models.
[00:08:29.170] This also is a platform for integrating different meshes
[00:08:35.260] and or surfaces from other Leapfrog models
[00:08:38.250] using the Central portal.
[00:08:40.500] And so, I’ll show you how the Central browser
[00:08:44.010] and Central in general allows you to incorporate
[00:08:46.980] different aspects from different projects into each other.
[00:08:50.360] The Central browser is a really nice platform.
[00:08:53.620] Some of you might have used Leapfrog Viewer before,
[00:08:56.730] Central browser gives you almost complete engagement
[00:09:01.230] with the model,
[00:09:02.570] and we’ll actually demo this in a second.
[00:09:05.670] You can also export meshes and objects
[00:09:08.510] from the Central browser.
[00:09:09.880] You can compare changes through time,
[00:09:12.970] and you can directly compare different versions
[00:09:15.670] of the same model.
[00:09:17.710] And you can also view near real-time drilling,
[00:09:20.370] which is really cool aspect.
[00:09:22.360] Then of course, there is the Central portal,
[00:09:25.430] the Central portal is very useful for both users
[00:09:28.400] and administrators alike.
[00:09:30.240] The Central portal allows you to download
[00:09:32.240] and publish any data to the Data Room,
[00:09:34.430] which I had mentioned.
[00:09:36.160] This can be really useful for organizing your projects data.
[00:09:40.230] For the administrators, you can manage users
[00:09:43.410] and you can also manage access to projects as well.
[00:09:48.470] This is where the security aspect comes in.
[00:09:50.160] You can of course, control who has permissions
[00:09:52.690] to which project,
[00:09:53.660] but you can also remove users from different projects.
[00:09:56.610] And so this is where you as an administrator
[00:09:59.400] would have complete control
[00:10:00.680] over who is on the Central portal,
[00:10:03.000] and two can see what on the Central portal.
[00:10:05.680] You can also view activity,
[00:10:08.610] and of course you can manage partner integrations.
[00:10:13.280] And so I will jump into the Central browser now.
[00:10:17.440] Welcome to the Central browser.
[00:10:20.250] The first thing that you will see
[00:10:21.500] when opening up the Central browser
[00:10:23.900] is going to be your list of projects.
[00:10:26.980] You will also see the Central Server,
[00:10:29.310] likely in this case, you would only have one here.
[00:10:31.650] I have quite a few different Central Servers,
[00:10:34.320] these are all internal facing.
[00:10:36.370] This is what we use for our demos
[00:10:38.290] and or to collaborate on projects across the globe.
[00:10:41.680] So I have many projects on here
[00:10:43.380] where I have colleagues who are in Europe or in APAC
[00:10:46.420] or in Australia and New Zealand,
[00:10:48.310] and we are all editing the same versions
[00:10:52.030] or the same project,
[00:10:54.370] and so we can work on different versions of that project
[00:10:58.210] and or collaborate in a single space.
[00:11:01.370] The project I will actually be discussing here
[00:11:03.370] will be Lake Aura.
[00:11:04.510] This is actually the civil and environmental demo project,
[00:11:08.240] which if you have downloaded Leapfrog Works
[00:11:10.590] and or use the trial previously,
[00:11:12.800] you actually have access to this model.
[00:11:14.910] If you don’t, just let us know,
[00:11:17.470] don’t hesitate to reach out
[00:11:18.620] and we’d be happy to pass along this demo model
[00:11:24.990] Central and the Central browser
[00:11:28.530] gives you almost full visualization into the Leapfrog model.
[00:11:32.410] While you can’t actually edit anything
[00:11:34.540] in the Central browser,
[00:11:35.950] you can control almost all of the visualization settings.
[00:11:39.730] If you have used Leapfrog Viewer before,
[00:11:41.790] you might have seen that the controls of the visualization
[00:11:45.410] and the objects that you were seeing in the view
[00:11:48.010] are not the full settings that you see in Leapfrog,
[00:11:52.690] and so you don’t have full control over the objects.
[00:11:55.040] Here in the Central browser,
[00:11:56.660] you have almost full control over the objects,
[00:11:59.880] you can see attributes and designs,
[00:12:01.800] you can also apply query filters
[00:12:04.330] and you can change a ton of more visualization settings
[00:12:07.730] as well.
[00:12:10.000] I’ll point out some of the similarities first,
[00:12:12.100] and then I’ll get into a little bit of the differences
[00:12:14.810] between the Central browser and Leapfrog Works.
[00:12:19.560] The Central browser can be accessed by anyone
[00:12:22.560] who has been added to the server.
[00:12:24.590] And so of course, there are different controls,
[00:12:27.190] whether you can export objects for example,
[00:12:29.410] or if you’re just a viewer.
[00:12:31.770] But this can be accessed by stakeholders, decision-makers
[00:12:36.570] and editors alike.
[00:12:38.300] It’s a really good way to QA, QC your projects,
[00:12:41.510] and a great tool for collaborating
[00:12:44.220] and keeping everyone up to date with the latest changes.
[00:12:47.710] You might see on the left that we do have the project tree
[00:12:50.270] still here,
[00:12:51.370] and so this is very similar to the Leapfrog Works interface.
[00:12:54.880] You can control the visualization settings,
[00:12:56.810] you can apply filters,
[00:12:58.550] you can control the opacity on different objects here,
[00:13:03.270] and you have almost full control into visualization settings
[00:13:06.960] of objects that have been uploaded.
[00:13:09.130] We also then of course can use some of the toolbar settings
[00:13:12.030] up here, my favorite being the slicing tool.
[00:13:14.810] So we could still cut through the model,
[00:13:16.810] slice through the model in real time.
[00:13:21.160] Go ahead and turn that off.
[00:13:24.370] Now, some of the differences of course,
[00:13:26.630] you might see right here on the right
[00:13:28.550] that we have our annotations tab.
[00:13:30.980] This is really cool,
[00:13:31.870] it actually allows you to add annotations to the model
[00:13:34.750] with the geotag.
[00:13:36.090] So it’ll take you directly to that place,
[00:13:38.060] in the X, Y, Z place that you had referenced.
[00:13:41.300] Here, I’ve made a little note to refine the shoreline,
[00:13:44.610] and the really nice thing is it’ll show the scene
[00:13:47.340] when that annotation was created.
[00:13:49.920] So if I click show scene,
[00:13:55.040] you can see that it reverts back to that perspective
[00:13:58.310] as when this was created.
[00:13:59.940] Here, one of the issues with this project,
[00:14:02.010] it is a tunneling project in a seaway,
[00:14:04.640] was that the shoreline wasn’t too accurate.
[00:14:07.120] And so what we wanted to do was we wanted to edit the model
[00:14:10.450] on a future version to refine the shoreline.
[00:14:14.350] I’ve added another little annotation here
[00:14:17.000] where we want to double-check the tunnel depth
[00:14:18.870] as the CAD design that had been imported
[00:14:22.450] seems to in this case, the red CAD design
[00:14:26.690] cut through the model where water is,
[00:14:29.350] and so of course, we know we want this tunnel
[00:14:31.930] to be in the subsurface and not cutting through water.
[00:14:35.740] This is something that I li I pointed out
[00:14:37.590] just as an issue and just as a demonstration.
[00:14:41.060] But really nice thing is we can,
[00:14:42.740] anyone who has access to this version of the model
[00:14:45.430] can come in and add an annotation
[00:14:47.720] with the geotag associated with it,
[00:14:50.340] that will automatically take you to that location.
[00:14:53.080] You can also add details here as well,
[00:14:58.347] and I’ll go ahead and X out of that.
[00:15:00.820] If you have shared this with multiple collaborators,
[00:15:03.700] the collaborators can then come in
[00:15:05.160] and edit different comments,
[00:15:07.810] they can also reply on comments.
[00:15:10.750] This is really nice for QA, QC processes
[00:15:13.810] as you can question, you know,
[00:15:15.690] why did you place the tunnel design here?
[00:15:18.650] That might be something that I would ask right away.
[00:15:21.510] Here, you can now see that we have a refined tunnel design
[00:15:23.940] that properly cuts through the subsurface of the model.
[00:15:28.260] Another cool thing here is on top of adding annotations
[00:15:32.150] and replies to comments, you can also add attachments.
[00:15:35.620] This can be any file type,
[00:15:37.870] whether it is you’re referencing a document
[00:15:40.360] and or you might have photos of core logs
[00:15:42.980] that you might want to reference here,
[00:15:44.790] there’s a ton of different file types that you can add here.
[00:15:47.280] Actually, you can add all files.
[00:15:50.170] So, that is a nice option there.
[00:15:54.880] One of the things that you might have noticed
[00:15:57.230] in the beginning is that we also,
[00:16:00.270] if I turn the model back on,
[00:16:03.030] and if I zoom out on the scene,
[00:16:05.150] have a little timestamp down at the bottom.
[00:16:08.240] And so if I wanted to revert back to the version
[00:16:10.930] of the model from January, 2017,
[00:16:14.260] on the 28th of January, 2017, I can click on that model.
[00:16:18.010] You can see that there are clearly some revisions
[00:16:20.170] that need to be done to this model.
[00:16:22.260] We have our schist that is cutting into our sandy gravel.
[00:16:28.710] And so, we can see and document changes through time
[00:16:32.220] on the geologic model using just the timescale
[00:16:34.560] at the bottom as well.
[00:16:36.080] So if I wanted to just step through
[00:16:37.460] and see how this model has changed,
[00:16:40.660] we’ve now created the water.
[00:16:42.770] You can see that we’ve inserted now a little clay lens
[00:16:45.200] in there as well,
[00:16:46.780] and we can continue to step through the project’s life cycle
[00:16:49.620] through time.
[00:16:51.350] So this is a really cool feature of Central
[00:16:55.660] as you can easily track changes through time.
[00:16:58.860] We also have the project history tab at the top.
[00:17:02.110] So when you open up a project in the Central browser,
[00:17:05.350] you get access to the scene view
[00:17:06.990] where you can control the visualization settings,
[00:17:09.970] track your history is through time
[00:17:11.900] and also add attachments and annotations,
[00:17:15.500] we also then can track the project history.
[00:17:19.070] Here you can see that multiple of my colleagues
[00:17:21.040] have updated different versions of this project
[00:17:23.280] through time,
[00:17:24.170] and if I wanted to go in and access that version
[00:17:26.400] of the project,
[00:17:27.233] I can just select it in the project history
[00:17:29.620] and go directly to open that up.
[00:17:33.390] Here, you can see the objects that were uploaded,
[00:17:35.920] that we wanted to have a discussion about.
[00:17:38.590] One way that you can save data via Central
[00:17:42.310] is only uploading objects that you want to see.
[00:17:46.880] And so here, we’ve only uploaded geologic models,
[00:17:49.530] some drilling information and a few meshes
[00:17:51.750] as opposed to uploading the entirety of the model.
[00:17:54.980] This allows you to still go in and discuss
[00:17:57.160] and visualize different aspects of the model
[00:17:59.540] without having to take up the bandwidth
[00:18:01.470] of uploading an entire model.
[00:18:06.020] We can also track changes through time.
[00:18:08.650] We can see who was giving access
[00:18:11.350] if annotations were created.
[00:18:14.310] And so, this is a really nice auditability tool
[00:18:17.860] to seeing how changes have been made through time
[00:18:20.170] and who has access to this.
[00:18:26.010] My personal favorite tool within Central
[00:18:28.270] is the ability to compare different objects through time.
[00:18:31.820] So if I want it to compare my drilling
[00:18:36.240] over the product life cycle,
[00:18:37.660] if I wanted to compare how maybe an output volume
[00:18:40.410] has changed through the project’s life cycle,
[00:18:43.220] this can all be done in Central,
[00:18:44.860] and we have some really cool visualization tools
[00:18:47.070] to be able to do so.
[00:18:49.430] Here, if you wanted to compare any objects,
[00:18:52.100] you can bring those objects into the scene.
[00:18:54.790] Here, I’m going to turn on just the objects
[00:18:57.620] that I want to compare.
[00:19:00.270] Let’s turn that off.
[00:19:02.540] Here, we have just the boreholes.
[00:19:05.200] I think I’m going to turn off the designs as well.
[00:19:13.470] Let’s leave it at this.
[00:19:15.140] You can just select the compare button
[00:19:16.940] and it’ll allow you to compare objects in the scene
[00:19:20.320] over the different versions of the project.
[00:19:23.390] So if I go to compare here,
[00:19:25.740] you can see that I actually have already selected
[00:19:28.720] the boreholes and also an output volume here.
[00:19:33.080] You can then select which versions of the model
[00:19:35.440] you want to compare.
[00:19:36.580] On the left side,
[00:19:37.440] I’ve selected one of the first versions of this model,
[00:19:40.330] on the right side,
[00:19:41.370] I can see that I’ve selected the latest version
[00:19:44.020] of the model.
[00:19:45.450] There’s some really easy way is to toggle
[00:19:47.960] between the different versions here,
[00:19:49.410] you can see in the first model,
[00:19:51.630] we have our granodiorite output volume.
[00:19:56.130] And if I toggle over,
[00:19:57.280] we only have three drilling cores here too,
[00:20:00.790] three boreholes in this case.
[00:20:03.120] If I toggle over to the other side of the model,
[00:20:04.980] you can see that first of all,
[00:20:07.230] the peers, the granodiorite shoreline contact
[00:20:10.980] has changed through time.
[00:20:12.650] And you can also see the new drilling of ice.
[00:20:16.090] Now, if you were reviewing this in the same scene,
[00:20:20.970] there’s also ways that you can enhance the differences
[00:20:24.500] between the two.
[00:20:25.970] So as you saw, there were some new boreholes
[00:20:28.770] that were trilled for this project
[00:20:30.860] from the first stage in 2017,
[00:20:33.530] down to a year later in 2018.
[00:20:36.890] If I wanted to enhance those differences,
[00:20:39.520] I can select the option to enhance those differences,
[00:20:42.620] and that can really show me some of the changes
[00:20:45.260] that have happened through time.
[00:20:47.140] Here, you can see actually some of these boreholes here.
[00:20:51.200] The visualization settings on them will change
[00:20:53.220] when I enhance differences.
[00:20:54.400] And so, these of course,
[00:20:57.210] the ones that are larger are the new boreholes,
[00:20:59.790] and those that have shrank upon enhanced difference
[00:21:02.600] are going to be some of the older boreholes in question.
[00:21:06.250] So just a really easy way to identify some differences.
[00:21:09.820] Another cool option here
[00:21:11.220] is that you can change the visualization settings
[00:21:13.640] on the newer and older surfaces.
[00:21:15.900] Here, if I wanted to change the older granodiorite
[00:21:20.240] output volume,
[00:21:21.370] and maybe let’s wireframe it
[00:21:22.880] so that you can see right through it,
[00:21:25.020] I can do so.
[00:21:25.853] And so you can see over time how we have shrank and edited
[00:21:30.060] that granodiorite contact surface
[00:21:32.740] and subsequent output volume.
[00:21:36.230] The ability to compare changes through Central
[00:21:39.380] in the Central browser is a really cool feature
[00:21:42.810] that has endless possibilities,
[00:21:44.950] and it’s definitely something I ask
[00:21:46.840] if you do sign up for Central,
[00:21:50.320] to take a look at and see how your models have changed
[00:21:53.410] through time and your different versions of those models
[00:21:56.350] have changed.
[00:21:57.490] Whether if we go back to the scene view,
[00:22:00.140] you’re using the little timescale at the bottom,
[00:22:03.030] or the compare tool here in the toolbar,
[00:22:06.020] there’s tons of opportunities here to actually document
[00:22:09.420] and track changes through time,
[00:22:11.480] whether it’s visually and or using annotations,
[00:22:15.160] and or attachments.
[00:22:21.190] Of course, I mentioned that there is the Central portal
[00:22:25.370] as well.
[00:22:26.660] And so, I have many different colleagues
[00:22:29.290] who are on the Central server,
[00:22:32.700] this is our EMENA Civil Demo Server.
[00:22:36.090] And if I wanted to be able to control
[00:22:37.950] who has access to projects I’ve uploaded from Leapfrog
[00:22:42.360] and or access the Data Room,
[00:22:44.520] this can all be done in the portal.
[00:22:46.790] The portal is actually an online cloud-based platform.
[00:22:50.070] And so, you can easily access this directly
[00:22:53.050] in the Central browser by selecting open portal.
[00:22:59.100] This will actually take me directly to the user portal.
[00:23:05.460] So two things, the user portal is friendly for users
[00:23:09.110] and for administrators alike.
[00:23:11.870] Of course, you have access to all of your projects.
[00:23:14.470] Here, we’re demonstrating the Lake Aura project.
[00:23:19.150] And so I can just type into my projects tab, Lake Aura,
[00:23:22.640] and I can select that project.
[00:23:27.630] You can document the different stages of this project,
[00:23:31.560] but at the same time,
[00:23:32.760] you can also access files.
[00:23:38.290] Here is where you could create your Data Room
[00:23:40.800] and organize your files accordingly.
[00:23:43.720] Here you can upload any file type,
[00:23:45.830] this doesn’t have to be a Leapfrog file type,
[00:23:48.500] and keep them organized in a single location
[00:23:50.830] that can be accessed by everyone on this project.
[00:23:55.570] We can also see here in the users tab,
[00:23:58.180] all users that have access to this project.
[00:24:01.450] So I’m myself, Gary Johnson,
[00:24:03.630] enlisted as an owner of this project.
[00:24:06.410] Owners by default
[00:24:07.428] are those who have either uploaded the project
[00:24:10.040] or have been designated an owner by the administrator
[00:24:13.100] on the account.
[00:24:14.720] There’s other permissions here as well,
[00:24:17.100] you can either be a viewer.
[00:24:18.770] And so in the Central browser,
[00:24:20.320] which we were just looking at,
[00:24:21.720] you can visualize and interact with those objects.
[00:24:26.690] An editor is actually allowed to publish changes
[00:24:30.040] and make edits from within Leapfrog
[00:24:32.080] and access the files in that.
[00:24:35.660] And then of course, we have the owner,
[00:24:37.540] the owner is allowed to grant access to this project
[00:24:41.060] from other users.
[00:24:42.550] I mentioned, this is either the individual
[00:24:44.890] who originally uploaded the project
[00:24:47.680] and or if you have been designated,
[00:24:49.440] in this case, an owner by the administrator.
[00:24:54.010] You can also track the project’s history through time
[00:24:58.010] and see the different stages of the project,
[00:25:01.840] which can be designated within the portal itself,
[00:25:05.540] and then upon publishing the model in Leapfrog,
[00:25:11.580] we can also track events.
[00:25:13.850] And so these are actually the exact events
[00:25:15.900] we were just viewing in the Central browser.
[00:25:17.820] So you don’t have to be able to go into the browser
[00:25:19.810] to track some of these events,
[00:25:21.550] you can see them directly in the portal online as well.
[00:25:26.790] We then of course have our users tab.
[00:25:30.960] The users tab would be nice for administrators.
[00:25:33.940] This is where you can search and add a new users,
[00:25:38.110] and control permissions as well.
[00:25:41.280] So if I wanted to add a new user,
[00:25:43.430] I can add them via an email,
[00:25:46.000] I can designate them as a connector,
[00:25:47.630] which allows them to inter-operate
[00:25:50.260] and or access Central within Leapfrog Works.
[00:25:54.250] You can assign them as an admin,
[00:25:56.930] this’ll likely not be the case for everyone
[00:25:58.910] as this does give you full control over the server.
[00:26:02.510] And you can then assign them projects here as well.
[00:26:05.690] So, if you ever have any questions about this,
[00:26:08.460] don’t hesitate to reach out
[00:26:09.630] or reach out to your administrator
[00:26:11.590] who can also likely give you access to projects
[00:26:15.190] and possibly answer some of your questions
[00:26:17.330] about this as well.
[00:26:20.290] We then have an integrations tab
[00:26:21.910] where you can integrate with some of our partners.
[00:26:24.140] We have not set up,
[00:26:25.320] I have not set up any integrations yet.
[00:26:29.120] And then of course,
[00:26:29.953] we can see the events and maintenance tab.
[00:26:33.080] If the server had been updated,
[00:26:34.810] you can track that in the maintenance tab here.
[00:26:39.270] Really nice thing is this also allows you to enter project
[00:26:42.300] stages.
[00:26:43.580] And I will show you where you can also designate projects,
[00:26:46.650] project stages within Leapfrog
[00:26:48.720] when you were actually uploading your model to Central.
[00:27:08.295] I will now jump in to Leapfrog Works.
[00:27:10.880] And so this is a user interface,
[00:27:12.700] as you can see, the project tree in the left over here
[00:27:14.660] that you might be more familiar with.
[00:27:16.970] If I go back to the projects tab here,
[00:27:19.970] you can see some of our projects
[00:27:22.010] that I have been recently working on.
[00:27:23.490] This is where you would typically access your projects.
[00:27:26.570] In order to gain access to the Central projects tab
[00:27:29.780] if you have registered for the Central trial,
[00:27:34.040] you can actually click on Leapfrog Works
[00:27:37.090] and go to the settings option.
[00:27:41.040] Here, there is a Central option,
[00:27:43.230] which you might’ve seen previously
[00:27:44.380] of going through the settings and been unaware
[00:27:45.950] as to what this actually was.
[00:27:48.170] This is where you can actually enable Central integration
[00:27:51.040] using your secret ID.
[00:27:52.860] So if you and or your organization has signed up for Central
[00:27:56.660] and would like to now enable this within Leapfrog,
[00:27:59.230] just keep in mind,
[00:28:00.330] you can do that right here in the settings tab Central
[00:28:03.670] using your current Seequent ID.
[00:28:06.090] This will then pick up any servers
[00:28:08.250] that you have been added to in the Central portal,
[00:28:11.320] which we were just looking at.
[00:28:15.660] Essential projects tab will then arise.
[00:28:18.380] Here, you can see the same servers
[00:28:20.260] that we were just looking at previously
[00:28:23.000] in the Central browser.
[00:28:24.920] I will stay within our EMENA Civil Demo Server,
[00:28:28.330] and I will still discuss this Lake Aura project
[00:28:31.310] which is also the demo project which you all have access to.
[00:28:35.660] I will go ahead and select Lake Aura project.
[00:28:40.460] You will now see that the project history tab will arise.
[00:28:44.660] Here in the project history tab,
[00:28:47.520] one thing that I like to always mention
[00:28:48.980] is the local section here.
[00:28:51.690] And so currently, you see one listed,
[00:28:54.750] and this is because I only have one local copy
[00:28:57.200] downloaded on my hard drive.
[00:28:59.620] The really nice thing about this
[00:29:01.430] is that it allows you to have multiple versions
[00:29:04.300] of the project stored in a single secure cloud-based server,
[00:29:09.520] but you don’t have to use all these projects here,
[00:29:11.717] the projects don’t have to take up space
[00:29:13.870] on your local hard drive.
[00:29:15.940] So many times you might be updating a project
[00:29:19.170] and saving backup copies throughout time
[00:29:21.330] to document your changes,
[00:29:23.190] and these copies might be multiple gigabytes,
[00:29:25.450] and you might have 10 different versions of them,
[00:29:28.030] this can really add up and take up digital space on your PC.
[00:29:32.120] Central then frees up that digital space,
[00:29:35.460] allowing you to access the different versions
[00:29:38.530] or different models,
[00:29:40.050] but only have a single one or two or three
[00:29:43.760] on your local server at a time.
[00:29:46.200] Now, I do have the latest version downloaded,
[00:29:48.990] but if I wanted to download a previous version
[00:29:51.820] and edit and or interact with this
[00:29:54.170] in the Leapfrog modeling suite,
[00:29:56.400] I can go back to one of our previous leading concepts here,
[00:30:00.780] and I can choose to download this model.
[00:30:03.890] I will then have a new local copy of that version
[00:30:07.240] of the model on my hard drive,
[00:30:09.440] which can then be edited and then removed of course,
[00:30:12.140] when you were done with that and republished to the server.
[00:30:18.730] So Central gives you a few other really nice, helpful tools
[00:30:23.700] when you’re actually in the Leapfrog modeling suite.
[00:30:27.430] Many times, you might be working on projects
[00:30:30.260] that are laterally extensive,
[00:30:33.130] and you might only want to model
[00:30:35.260] within a certain section of that model, or of that project.
[00:30:39.500] So for example, if you have a linear infrastructure project
[00:30:42.700] that covers many, many miles,
[00:30:45.030] you might only have to build geologic models
[00:30:48.150] that are detailed along the overpasses and underpasses
[00:30:52.220] for example.
[00:30:53.320] You might have a single conceptual site
[00:30:56.010] that takes up the entirety of the project extents,
[00:30:59.080] and then you might want to break down those individual sites
[00:31:03.190] into different locations.
[00:31:06.010] The nice thing is if you wanted to use a mesh
[00:31:08.730] from a different Central project,
[00:31:11.050] you can right click on the mesh’s folder
[00:31:13.300] and import a mesh from Central.
[00:31:16.300] Here, if you had different conceptual model
[00:31:19.720] for your extensive site
[00:31:21.360] and then smaller project models for areas of focus,
[00:31:26.920] you can directly import a mesh from the extensive site
[00:31:31.370] and use those surfaces or output volumes in your project.
[00:31:35.670] This can be a really nice organizational tool
[00:31:38.390] for breaking up those massive projects
[00:31:40.300] which I see all the time
[00:31:41.570] into more localized and regionalized complex models.
[00:31:47.810] And so, you have access to all of the different meshes
[00:31:51.870] from any Central projects that you have access to.
[00:31:55.490] This can save you a ton of time,
[00:31:57.540] not having to reduplicate surfaces for example,
[00:32:00.980] and also gives you the ability to use surfaces
[00:32:04.330] from a different project
[00:32:05.420] if you’re working in the same location.
[00:32:10.230] Now, if I had made some changes to this project,
[00:32:13.970] for example, edited some contacts, added new boreholes,
[00:32:18.360] I could then publish this model back to the Central Server
[00:32:21.830] so that my colleagues can access it,
[00:32:24.130] make comments and annotations and so on
[00:32:26.750] within the Central browser.
[00:32:29.970] Now, if I go to the Lake Aura project here,
[00:32:33.920] if I had my project open in the scene view
[00:32:36.330] and went back to the Central tab for that project,
[00:32:40.380] there is this button right here,
[00:32:42.230] it looks like a globe with the green arrow,
[00:32:44.310] to publish the latest version.
[00:32:48.200] Anytime you make changes and want to document this project
[00:32:51.650] change through time,
[00:32:53.510] i.e. you can actually see these multiple publishing events
[00:32:57.780] here in the project history,
[00:32:59.400] so each little bulb
[00:33:00.860] corresponds to a different publishing event.
[00:33:04.290] You can go ahead and publish a new version of that model,
[00:33:07.650] which I’ll go ahead and do now.
[00:33:11.970] You can then select the objects
[00:33:14.310] that you want to be able to discuss
[00:33:15.920] within the Central browser.
[00:33:18.300] And so you might only want to discuss
[00:33:20.550] in the Central browser, your model
[00:33:22.320] and or your visions on a few surfaces,
[00:33:25.350] and so you don’t have to constantly upload the entirety
[00:33:28.330] of the project,
[00:33:29.230] you can just upload the objects
[00:33:31.050] that you want to be able to access and discuss
[00:33:33.010] within the Central browser.
[00:33:36.210] Here, for example, if I just wanted to upload my typography,
[00:33:40.100] my drill hole data, my borehole data,
[00:33:43.070] and maybe a geologic model and some designs
[00:33:46.630] you can do so here.
[00:33:50.240] The next step in the publishing phase of a project
[00:33:54.170] is to designate a project workflow stage.
[00:33:57.750] So here, you can see we’ve added
[00:33:59.810] several different project stages,
[00:34:01.850] whether it’s experimental, a peer review,
[00:34:04.700] you can assign this here upon uploading the latest revisions
[00:34:08.140] of the model.
[00:34:09.890] You can also include the entirety of the Leapfrog project,
[00:34:13.680] this is often going to be required
[00:34:15.250] when you’re first uploading the model,
[00:34:17.620] but after you have uploaded multiple versions of the model,
[00:34:20.490] you might not want to upload the entirety of the model
[00:34:23.270] and just the objects in question.
[00:34:25.760] And so you can actually select to do this here.
[00:34:28.640] And if I press, no,
[00:34:31.180] you don’t actually have to upload the entirety
[00:34:33.330] of the project when working remotely and or from home.
[00:34:36.920] If you’re worried about bandwidth,
[00:34:39.480] this is something that you might want to keep aware
[00:34:42.090] that you might not want to upload the entirety
[00:34:44.430] of the works project,
[00:34:45.510] and so you have control over doing so here.
[00:34:50.220] You can also control whether this is the complete process
[00:34:53.670] to object, the complete project
[00:34:55.710] with all stored modeling calculations is then published,
[00:34:58.720] other Central users will be able to download the project
[00:35:01.430] and work on it in Leapfrog Works,
[00:35:03.900] or you can leave this as in processed.
[00:35:06.590] And this is just something to keep in mind,
[00:35:09.550] all stored modeling calculations are removed
[00:35:11.810] before the project is uploaded,
[00:35:13.470] which can reduce the size of the project substantially.
[00:35:16.350] When the project is downloaded again,
[00:35:17.930] the project will need to be reprocessed
[00:35:20.250] depending on the size of the project,
[00:35:21.480] so this may take some time,
[00:35:22.830] so just something to keep in mind.
[00:35:25.090] A lot of the times, I personally don’t include the entirety
[00:35:27.870] of the Leapfrog project and just the edits and revisions
[00:35:31.490] that I’ve made or selected in the previous window.
[00:35:35.990] You can then select next,
[00:35:38.490] and here is where you designate a workflow stage.
[00:35:42.620] So you might’ve seen this graph that pops out
[00:35:46.040] on the project history tab.
[00:35:48.150] This is where you can actually branch out
[00:35:50.240] and or make some experimental stages in the model,
[00:35:54.140] or you can work laterally.
[00:35:56.010] You might have a few different specialized folks
[00:35:58.720] who are working on the same model,
[00:36:00.140] for example, a geophysicist and a structural geologist.
[00:36:03.370] The geophysicists might be working strictly
[00:36:05.460] on the numeric modeling of some resistivity data
[00:36:08.960] while your structural geologists
[00:36:10.600] might be working strictly on the geologic modeling section.
[00:36:14.890] And so you can actually break these off and work laterally.
[00:36:18.780] This can save a ton of time
[00:36:20.190] and enhances the specialization of your colleagues.
[00:36:24.290] This allows your colleagues to work independently
[00:36:27.950] on their own branch of the project,
[00:36:30.140] which can be always opened and or revised
[00:36:33.310] by anyone who is included in that Central project.
[00:36:38.210] You can also add some comments here.
[00:36:40.600] If I move this little window,
[00:36:42.420] you can see that my colleagues have added some comments
[00:36:44.970] regarding what they might’ve updated,
[00:36:47.180] this is just a nice way to track changes through time,
[00:36:50.370] and is a good way to track
[00:36:52.410] why you might have actually published a new version
[00:36:55.390] of this model.
[00:36:58.580] So I’m going to go ahead and cancel out of this,
[00:37:02.030] or why not, let’s, let’s publish it.
[00:37:10.530] This will then be published.
[00:37:12.870] And once you have published this to the Central Server,
[00:37:17.400] your colleagues will then have access via the browser
[00:37:21.500] and or via works to access the latest version of the model
[00:37:25.660] with your changes on that.
[00:37:27.510] A much easier way to exchange projects and edits,
[00:37:32.280] as opposed to potentially using what you might have,
[00:37:36.160] the previous methods as, you know,
[00:37:37.730] saving a zip copy is a very common method that I see users
[00:37:42.030] without Central using.
[00:37:45.180] You can now access the latest version of this publish event
[00:37:48.200] within the browser or here directly within works.
[00:37:53.270] Just a brief summary of some of the different features
[00:37:57.240] and tools we have just discussed,
[00:38:00.460] one of the things that I want to really elaborate on
[00:38:04.100] is how Central allows and enhances collaboration
[00:38:08.020] and version control among teams.
[00:38:10.820] Of course, when you’re working on your projects together,
[00:38:13.820] you want to be able to make a decision together.
[00:38:15.980] So we want to keep colleagues and clients informed
[00:38:19.310] throughout the project life cycle.
[00:38:22.140] Having your clients and colleagues
[00:38:23.780] on a mutual Central server
[00:38:25.960] really enables this collaboration.
[00:38:28.570] And it actually is a great tool for just keeping track
[00:38:32.650] of your changes in all the projects
[00:38:34.900] that might be working on.
[00:38:36.770] Organization is key to a successful project,
[00:38:39.760] and we want to help keep you organized
[00:38:41.750] while being able to collaborate and communicate
[00:38:44.700] throughout the project life cycle.
[00:38:49.900] As you have seen via the project graph
[00:38:52.380] and the project history tab,
[00:38:54.450] this Central allows collaboration
[00:38:57.080] and version control by testing ideas
[00:38:59.940] and allowing for peer revisions.
[00:39:02.840] Whether you are actually going in and making edits
[00:39:06.070] to the model directly,
[00:39:07.690] whether this is an experimental or pure viewing branch,
[00:39:10.840] which you can branch off from the direct project,
[00:39:13.530] or if you’re just adding comments and annotations
[00:39:16.100] within the browsers,
[00:39:17.750] you can collaborate with multiple different individuals
[00:39:20.940] on all levels and get their input and or edits
[00:39:26.230] and incorporate that into future models and revisions.
[00:39:34.600] I mentioned a lateral workflows,
[00:39:37.440] so you might have different station locations or regions,
[00:39:41.370] and or you might also have different individuals
[00:39:44.530] who are specialized,
[00:39:46.120] for example, geophysicists and structural geologists.
[00:39:49.720] And this allows them to use their expertise
[00:39:52.900] in their own branch of the model,
[00:39:54.957] and really organize your model accordingly.
[00:39:58.190] So really good way to document the changes
[00:40:01.440] and allow for visibility between maybe neighboring projects
[00:40:04.860] if you’re basing this on station location
[00:40:07.330] and or specialization
[00:40:09.990] if that is incorporated into the project.
[00:40:18.010] Of course, data sharing is one of the keys of Central,
[00:40:21.690] and so enabling cross collaboration is very important.
[00:40:26.760] You might be starting with a conceptual basic model
[00:40:30.090] and you might be breaking that up
[00:40:31.670] and or editing that through time
[00:40:33.900] with multiple different individuals.
[00:40:36.080] Somebody might be designing the 3D water body
[00:40:38.820] as seen in this photo example,
[00:40:40.940] and somebody might be running a flow model
[00:40:43.830] and or creating a contaminant model.
[00:40:46.270] And this allows different individuals on the same project,
[00:40:49.610] in the same space to collaborate and communicate
[00:40:52.540] those changes and or explain why they’re doing so
[00:40:56.800] in a way that can be tracked and audited.
[00:41:04.020] One of the things that I want to mention now
[00:41:05.980] just to give you a little sneak peek is of course,
[00:41:09.100] Central is a collaboration and communication tool
[00:41:12.490] that allows auditability and individuals to track changes
[00:41:16.270] on their projects through times.
[00:41:18.440] Notifications are one of the new and upcoming features
[00:41:22.100] in Central which we’ll be releasing in April or may of 2020.
[00:41:25.940] Notifications allow you to understand
[00:41:27.830] what is happening in Central in real time.
[00:41:30.170] You will get notified when projects are shared with you,
[00:41:32.610] or when your permissions on a project change,
[00:41:35.190] you will also get notifications when annotations
[00:41:38.350] or other objects within the Central project are updated.
[00:41:42.200] And we want to be able to keep you up to date
[00:41:44.270] with the latest events and keep you notified
[00:41:46.930] as this is what Central was designed for.
[00:41:49.900] Of course, you can manage your preferences
[00:41:52.270] just like you would in your email preferences
[00:41:54.920] and subscribe to what is important to you
[00:41:56.980] and unsubscribed from what you might not want
[00:41:59.650] to get constant notifications for.
[00:42:01.410] So you do have full control over these notifications.
[00:42:04.810] Of course, we don’t want to be spamming you,
[00:42:06.310] and we want you to be able to have that visibility
[00:42:10.060] into the latest updates to the model
[00:42:12.720] without having to go back in
[00:42:14.520] and check on those individually.
[00:42:17.530] So just a cool little feature that is upcoming
[00:42:20.040] and I wanted to keep you aware of.
[00:42:24.230] And so, we definitely want you to try out Central.
[00:42:27.030] Currently, we have 60-day Central free of charge,
