How to make contour map of coal seams floor SF, roof SR if a coal seam is model using vain system?

I'm doing model of big coal deposit that has 2 main coal seams that are intercalated with a lot of clay lenses. So I did my model using Vein System. I need to make a map of total coal thickness and seam roof and floor. How Can I do that from a Vein System volume model?

    Hi,

    I would probably suggest modelling the two main coal seams first as veins or a vein system (depending on whether they interact). Once you have modelled those, activate them to turn them into output volumes, and then you can then build a refined model. This will allow you to model the clay lenses within the coal seams. You may need multiple small veins to model each of the lens sufficiently. This should be paired with an interval selection.
