Generate 3D views of isosurfaces from your voxels

Geosoft's new Plot Isosurface tool is a valuable visualization tool that displays isosurfaces from your 3D grids, enabling you to gain a better understanding of geological formations. Create many isosurfaces, each with a unique colour.

Anisotropic 3D gridding

Enhanced 3D gridding functionality

The addition of anisotropic voxel and spherical gridding capabilities adds easy-to-access value to what you can learn about targets in their 3D environment. You can grid in your preferred direction. Specify the strike, dip and plunge, and preferred weighting to create more meaningful 3D grids that honour the data and preferentially enhance trends in the specified direction.

3D Spinning

The 3D viewer now supports spinning. The mouse is used to define the rotation direction and speed. The model will spin until another click of the mouse. Zooming and layer controls may be used while the view is rotating.

Z dimension option in Voxel Gridding

When creating 3D grids, the Z dimension may now be specified and may be different from the X and Y dimensions. By default, the voxel cell sizes in the Z direction are the same as the dimensions for the X and Y directions.

Imports GOCAD surface data files

GOCAD surface import

Surface files created in GOCAD can now be displayed within our 3D subsurface environment.

New Collar plotting

Upgrades and a new tab provides additional plotting options

A new Collars Tab has been added and has three main selections for collar symbols: Fixed, Zone and Classified. This provides more flexibility in the collar display of your surfaces and sections.

Display Variogram

New option added that allows users to view a variogram into a new window
