Re: Creating a classic strike-dip symbol in Plan View Layout
If you already have a fault line:
- In the Structural Modeling Foder, select New Structural Data Point ( https://help.seequent.com/Geo/2024.1/en-GB/Content/structural-data/structural-data.htm#new-structural-data )
2. In the Plane View, navigate to the Structural Data folder, add a new Structural Data item, and configure it as shown in the image below.
I hope this information is helpful for your work!😊
Seequent Learning at EGU 2025 in Vienna
To stay abreast of current developments in geoscience, Seequent Learning geoscientists often attend international conferences and workshops. I attended the European Geosciences Union annual meeting in Vienna in April and participated in session on geoscience for the energy transition and energy storage.
Having subject matter experts go to conferences and workshops is one of the ways that Seequent helps ensure that its training content is up-to-date with the latest industry and academic knowledge and trends.
🚀 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!

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.

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.
