Re: How to avoid offset of collar labels?
Hi Everyone,
If you have checked for spaces in the Format Display Text box, and there are no spaces before the Hole ID then you may have a different problem.
The offset of the Hole ID from the collar is sometimes caused by the geographical footprint or extent of your data. Very large data extents will sometimes force the Hole ID to display away from the collar. One way to get around this is to display the drillhole trace and label the top of the trace instead of labeling the Collar point.
Cheers,
Steph
Re: Will Leapfrog Geo have a tool for evaluating interval tables or point data with a block model ¿?
Re: Is it possible to model from a polyline based on an attribute?
Hi Ben,
If you have done your interval selection and assigned attributes to each segment, you can set up a new filter, based on those attributes, on your polyline file. I have three polylines in my scene called Cat 1, Cat 2 and Cat 3.
Right click on the Polyline top level and select New Query Filter. In this example it is set up to select one of the "Cat" types (attributes on the polyline). Set up three filters to select each 'Cat' type separately.
Now when you create your new surface in the Surface Chronology (from polylines), you can use the filter to create a surface based on individually filtered polyline segments (or groups).
The screen shot is a Deposit surface example, but any single surface type will work. If you want a vein surface, you need separate HW and FW surface polylines.

Re: Possible bug in Leapfrog Geo 2025.1?
Hi Matthew,
Is this happening on multiple projects or just one?
Sometimes, issues with the slicer are caused by the project extents being very large. Could you please press the 'home ' button and see if the scene zooms out very far? If it does, it may be that there is an erroneous coordinate on a drillhole or point somewhere.
One way to find and edit this erroneous coordinate, is to open the collar table in Leapfrog and sort by the x, y or z columns.

The 'offset surface' tool is your friend here. New deposit/erosion > from offset surface. Does exactly what you want.
Re: Unable to zoom to cursor / local zoom not working in Leapfrog Geo (2025.2)
Hey guys, zooming in LF has always been locked to the center of the screen. When I navigate around I unconsciously pan and then immediately use the 'set centre of rotation' option to keep the area I'm interested in centred, and rotate around that. Total sympathy for the question, as that is how things like google earth and GIS tools normally function, but Geo has center of rotation as a fixed point that is separate from the zoom function, which is center of screen.
measurement conventions structural geology
First of all: THANKS for this really great visualisation tool!
I am a retired Earth Science Professor (Structural Geology & Geoinformatics), still teaching my subjects occasionally.
Trained in Germany, using a Clar Gefügekompass, I have always used "Dip Direction (Azimuth)" & "Dip" for my measurements, both planes and lines. Is there a way to directly use these values instead of Strike and Dip in Stereonet?
In case of interest I would glad to contribute with my professional experience in many orogens around the planet 😉 Could also assist with translation …..
Cheers

Re: Tip to prevent a fault from intersecting the boundary
I will send you an email, where we can organise a meeting to discuss this in more detail. I would like to see your project myself if possible.
Best regards

Re: Thickness of Non-Leapfrog Volumes
Hi,
Yes, you can create a thickness grid and evaluate it onto an imported mesh. I found this workflow which will take you through how to do it.
Once you have this evaluated onto your volume, you should be able to follow the workflow in the video tutorial you posted above.
Re: Exporting 3D models
Thank you Eli for the response. If you need a tester for prints please feel free to reach out. I have been 3D printing for close to a decade now and would be happy to help out.
There are 3D models that are great for teaching already, some for mineralogy and general Earth structure. I teach mapping and structural geology as well so I have Rule of V's models, apparent dip models and fold models printed. Again to compliment what I have students do with Visible Geology. It's nice because you really only need to print one model versus a class set with Visible Geology doing most of the heavy lifting.
