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.

If You’re Working with Leapfrog, This Webinar on Block Model Regularisation Might Help
I wanted to share a useful webinar that I think could really help if you’re working with Leapfrog models. Erik Scheel, a Senior Project Geologist, walks through the Block Model Regularisation feature in Leapfrog 2024.1.
This feature has a lot of potential for anyone looking to refine their block models, and I found the insights really practical. Here are a few things Erik covers:
✅ Averaging Grades & Variances: How to get a more accurate model by averaging grades and variances across sub-blocks.
✅ Better Control of Your Model: Tips on maintaining control of your block model and adjusting things as needed.
✅ External Dilution Impact: A breakdown of how to analyze the effects of external dilution on grades and mineability.
✅ Adjusting Parameters: How to tweak the parameters to match your specific goals and get the best outcomes.
A great resource if you’re working with these tools and want to improve your modeling process.
