🚀 What's new in Visible Geology - May 2025
We are excited to announce that several enhancements have been made to Visible Geology to make your modelling even smoother!
Try them for yourself at www.visiblegeology.com, and let us know what you think in the comments below 👇️
- You can now bring more colour to your geological models by using the colour picker for dikes, plutons, and faults;
- When creating cores, you can now enter trend and plunge values in a data field and name your creation instead of using a default name;
- We've added directions on the grid so you can better locate yourself when using Visible Geology;
- Across Visible Geology, we've made efforts to match worldwide notation standards, displaying strike, rake, and trend with three digits;
- Lastly, in the Stereonet tool, you can now cancel your action upon creating a stereonet projection, avoiding the need to save and then delete it.
Plus, we've addressed some pesky issues you may have encountered:
- Contour lines have been enhanced for better visibility on topography and we've removed the straight lines that were incorrectly linking topography lines;
- Sections rendering will now appear correctly on complex geological models, regardless of their azimuth.
As always, we appreciate the support and feedback from the Visible Geology community!

Re: Edit Category Selections in Point Data
Perfect, thank you very much! This is a very good work around - all my data is safe and restored now.
One little comment: What I found a bit unclear, is, whether or not I should base my newly created category column on my orginial editable category column. I would like to precise that you must choose "<None>" for the source column, otherwise it wount work.
Thanks a lot!

Re: Implicitly Selecting a Mesh Partition After Clipping
What are you going to use the individual parts for later? Are you using them as individual domains or inputs into another model?
There might be a way to set it up so that each shear is broken by one of the objects that you are using to split them in your second to last operation.
Ex if the shears are vertical vein surfaces and they are cut by another vein that is more horizontal. Then you could use that surface as a "fault" to split the vein volumes into fault blocks. Giving them unique identifiers to be used later.
Kind of like this, where the teal vein surfaces needs to be unique above and below the red vein surface. Then the red vein HW/FW or references surface (green) could be used as a fault.
I might be going in the complete wrong direction here though 😎
Re: Check out our Seequent Learning Centre!
One thing I wanted to add to this, is that you can set your preferred language, by clicking on your initials at top right of page, which takes you to your profile page:
Once there, you can select your preferred language, as highlighted above. Once you do this, the Catalogue page will default to show the available courses in your preferred language.

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.
