Hey Laura,

If you already have a GIS title block set up, I’d suggest checking whether your GIS software can export it to a CAD format. Many GIS packages can do this quite easily.

In the link below, I’ve included an example DWG title block. In Leapfrog, you can add your company logo by right‑clicking the title block and selecting Add Image.

When Leapfrog imports a title block, it converts it to an image, so you may need to trim the surrounding white space to fit the page. Generally, you’ll need to:

1. Import the title block
2. Click the Crop tool
3. Adjust the boundary
4. Click Crop again to confirm
5. Resize the title block to suit your page

Hey @OriolGelizo, a few potential ways you may be able to visualize this data within LF, But none will be directly related to a directional bar graph around a boring as you showed.

Dependent on the data being used and the format will change how to handle this data and visualization. I can image if you get the data as points, a good option could be to then create structural disks that can be visualized in the scene to show dip and azimuth direction. Alternatively, you can export and re import these points to show structural lineations, which can show directions.

Alternatively, if you make a mesh from the points, and then extract the points from it, you can then make structural data outputs (disks or lineations) to visualize the direction as well.

Example of structural disk or lineations arrow outputs here:

I would be interested in taking a look at the data to try and create some outputs with you!

Hi Christhian!

Are you creating a structured or an unstructured mesh?

Structured grids can be manually refined in the X,Y,or,Z direction by dividing the space on each row/column/layer.
This allows you to refine along the overall trend of a fault, but doesn't let you actually refine along the fault itself.

Unstructured grids will let you do this though.
The fault should be in the Geologic model you're basing your grid off (if not you can also use a polyline to represent the area of refinement).

Once the unstructured grid has been created you can double click the "2D Grid" button and define the refinement level.

Here's an example showing a 5-step refinement along Fault 3.
*NOTE: it will refine over a projected straight representation of a fault on a 2D grid at the bottom of the model, so if you have faults with low angles this may not achieve the desired outcome.

Hope this helps!

Hi everybody

I would like to follow on this. I got the same error as @RiyanAbraham :

We figured out that the views or tables must be listed under the default schema "public". So now it works.

I hope that helps anybody in future.

Good idea and great post! This is definitely helpful when you have a lateral extent in mind and especially if you have already used one for a geological model. Also a great showcase of the lateral extent option!

In case you didn't want to change/add a lateral extent to you existing model and just wanted a to get the surface area of your topography as posted, another approach would be to use the "Extruded Mesh" tool: where you can chose to draw a new polyline or use an existing one.

Just make sure that when you extrude using elevation, the top elevation includes the highest point in your topography so it gets included in the extruded mesh. Once you have the extruded mesh, you can use the "clip operation" with the topography as you have shown to just get the specified section of the topography and also the surface area!
More on the extruded meshes can be found here: Extruded Meshes

Updated:

The main purpose is to calculate the surface area of the interest.

1. Meshes/New Extruded Meshes, or
2. Create a geological model and add lateral extent using GIS line or from a new drawing on 3D
3. Meshes folder Mesh Operation/Clip Mesh/ choose topo and the extruded mesh (or lateral extent from Geology model/boundary)
