New Community Champion - Jack Chanmala - Geophysics
Hey everyone,
My name is Jack Chanmala, and I’m excited to join this community! I’ve spent my career in exploration geophysics and mining, working across the spectrum—from junior exploration companies running drill rigs to major mining operations like Rio Tinto, where I focused on iron ore projects.
Over the years, I’ve been involved in a wide range of geophysical surveys, including ground and airborne methods, working to uncover hidden deposits and reduce geological uncertainty in exploration programs.
I'm here to help you make the most of Seequent's tools and connect with fellow professionals. Whether you're looking for insights, have questions, or just want to discuss the latest industry trends, I'm always happy to chat and collaborate!
Exporting 3D models
Loving the new version of Visible Geology and have been using it since Rowan first released it over a decade ago. I'm wondering if it would be possible to have an option to export the 3D models generated to a .3mf (or other format) for 3D printing? I integrate Visible Geology in my teaching and primarily keep things digital but a physical tactile model to supplement the digital versions could be useful in certain instances.

Re: 2d interpolation
Hi @obedduma,
Generally, I would say the standard RBF interpolant would do the job even though it is in 3D, you would just need to put a strong lateral trend to encourage the continuity in the direction you want. If your data is bottom of hole sample or surface samples that would also work as a 3D RBF interpolant.
When it comes to the outputs of the interpolant, if you want 2D then you can either use the in scene slicing tool or use the section tools which are described in the help here.
Re: Two Identical Slope/W Models Returning Different Factors of Safety
Hi Ryan, thanks for reaching out. The discrepancy comes from the fact that Model 1 gets its water conditions from SEEP/W and Model 2 gets its water conditions from a piezometric line. SLOPE/W tends to overestimate the pore-water pressure when the phreatic surface is defined with a piezometric line that is downward sloping (to represent downward flow), which is usually the case in an embankment. This is because it uses the vertical distance from the base of a slice to the phreatic surface to calculate the pore-water pressure.
When SLOPE/W uses the water conditions calculated with SEEP/W, the pore-water pressure values at the base of the slices are more accurate. In the case of a downward sloping phreatic surface, the pore-water pressure used in SLOPE/W will be lower due to the equipotential lines being angled. I've set up an example where you can see that even on the upstream slope of the dam, the equipotential lines are different. The first picture is with the drawn piezometric surface and the second picture is with the SEEP/W pore-water pressure conditions.

Re: Grid normalisation
No, I was trying to use the syntax for the min and max function that is described in the help. I just tried it and it worked.
The stats of the output grid norm are between 0 and 1
Not sure why it doesn't work on your OM installation. That is why I suggested that you report it is a bug.
