Edit Category Selections in Point Data

in Leapfrog

I have a large point data set, where i manually created a category selection. Unfotunately, one colleague of mine reloaded the dataset into Leapfrog due to problems with appended data. I know lost my editable category selection. Fortunately, I did not lose the data itself, I could append the category to the reimported data. But know I am not longer able to edit the category and add more data to it.

Does anybody know how I could solve this problem? Is there a way to import an editable category dataset to existing point data?

Thanks for your help!

    Hi Samuel,

    Are you using the most current version of Leapfrog (2024.1)?

    Do you have a backup of the project from before your colleague reloaded the drillhole data?

    If so, you can open the backup, and then export your interval selection column by right clicking on the column and choosing Edits > Export.

    In your current project, you can right click on the interval selection column, choose Edits > Import and Delete Existing. This should bring back your edits in your interval selection column and keep them dynamically editable.

    If you are not using the latest version of Leapfrog, or if you do not have a backup of the project, things become slightly more complicated.

    You will have to re-create your interval selection column.

    Step 1:Create a new interval Selection Column, and base it off of the column you used for your original Interval Selection (do not use the original interval selection column itself.)

    Step 2: In your Shape list, switch the column you are viewing to the original interval selection column.

    Step 3: Click on the Edit Colours button and hide all of the intervals except for one of the ones you want to recreate. Do not close this window.

    Step 4: Click on the Select All Visible intervals in the top tool bar image.png

    Step 5: Click on the Assign To button in the Interval Selection window, select Create New Lithology, and give it the same name that it had in the original interval selection column. Then hit the save in the top toolbar (this might be overkill to do every time, however will save you a headache if your computer crashes)

    Step 6: Go back to the other Edit Colours window, turn off this interval and switch to the next one. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for all of your original interval selections.

    Step 7: Click Save one final time and close the interval selection toolbar.

    You can now delete the imported column as your new interval selection is not based off of that column. The new interval selection column is dynamic and can be edited freely.

    Remember to save a copy of your project before making any big changes, such as updating the drillhole database. The best way to do this is through Seequent Central, as your backup is safely in the cloud and accessible to approved colleagues in the event that your computer suffers a catastrophic event. It's also a great way to track the progress of the project through time and collaborate with colleagues.
