Hi Ian,

It looks like you have blocks with the Status 'Without_value' in your model for 'Kr,Cu_WH'. Yet the blocks with the Cu equivalent do have a value. I know this does not make logical sense.

View your block model on the 'Kr, Cu_WH' field for the Status. Filter out the 'Normal' blocks and you may be able to easily locate the blocks that are missing the value in the Scene. Alternatively, you could create a Filter on your block model in the Calcs to find these blocks.

It sounds like you need to address these blocks in Cu that have no value, whether that is reviewing the parameters, use in the estimation or through calculations on the block model.

Kind regards

Carrie

We've been printing models for a while now. My only suggestion for a shape like this is to perhaps rotate it on it's side so that it is printed flat(ish). Sometimes when you are printing a skinny thing like this on it's vertical axis, as you are holding it, as you get higher up the print it starts to go a bit squirrelly.

Also, vertical and horizontal supports can be useful to add to the print so that large veins to break off.

Nothing beats a great 3D print though. So nice for stakeholders to touch the deposit in the board room.

I wanted to drive a little discussion about 3D printing your models and ideas / tips on settings and edits needed to make it work.

The below picture is a vein model (or part of) that I increased the thickness on and restricted what volumes where included to make the printing go easier. Then I exported that out as a OBJ file (since that is something my slicer can read) and printed it on a regular home printer.

It doesn't affect the print but it did in this case fail after a while but it serves the purpose I had for it.

Any other ideas or printed shapes out there?

Hi,

You may want to explore the basics of modelling in "On Demand Learning" section available in your Seequent account.

My approach in modelling Geotech units, I will domain the BH and CPT logs using SBTn classification, which provides essential input in geological modelling. Since I am working only in small infra projects, what I do, I create separate tables for collar, survey, interval (such as material type, numeric inputs, etc.). More importantly, have your DEM available.

By using intrusion tool under Geological Model > Surface Chronology > New Intrusion > Base Lithology, you can create a laterally extensive units.

Hope this helps.

Hi Luciano,

The best way to get your 3D photogrammetric model generated with Agisoft Metashape into Leapfrog is by exporting the model as an OBJ file. Note that the obj file is accompanied by a *.JPG file and *.MTL file which have the same name as your OBJ file. The OBJ file includes the mesh, the JPG file includes the texture and the MTL file is a so called material file which describes how the texture is applied to the mesh. Therefore, to be able to have a textured mesh in Leapfrog you have to make sure that all 3 files (obj, jpg & mtl) are in the same folder when you import the OBJ mesh file into Leapfrog.
Depending on how you’ve generated your texture in Metashape, you might end up with multiple (smaller) texture files for a single OBJ mesh. Leapfrog has no problems to import OBJ meshes with multiple textures assigned to it.

Please make sure that the coordinate reference systems (CRS) you have chosen in Metashape during export matches the CRS that you are using in your Leapfrog project.

All the best.

Best regards,
Stefan

P.S. In case you want to analyse/modify the dense point cloud, I suggest to use CloudCompare (free & open-source).
