How do I create a surface with limited data using Geo model tool?

Hi there, I have some interval data from short drill holes (<20m) in a weathered zone. The drilling was done to determine the contact between the weathered zone and hard rock. What would be the best tool to use or way to go about it? I attempted to create a geological model using the data but did not have more options show up for the different surface types (deposit, erosional or intrusion etc) to begin with. There's only two litho types here, very straightforward wtih no grouping or interps required for interval selection tool here (I think). I don't know what I did wrong as the output volume only showed the 'unknown' surface. How best can I approach this to generate the contact surface?

    @BenHenderson @findlayfraser do you have any tips for Pam to generate the contact surface?

    If you're looking at the 'output volumes' only in a geological model, remember that you have to make the surface 'active' first by double-clicking the Surface Chronology and ticking the box to the left of the object in the list. Only then will the volumes be generated. Until then, you can open the object from the Surface Chronology list to check it first.

    Otherwise I'm not sure from your description where you are having trouble. I'm assuming you have set up a Geological model to reference the "weathering" column in your drill hole data as the Base Lithology Column and then set up a Deposit (or erosion) surface under Surface Chronology. Take a look at the Help files or one of the Leapfrog training videos to see how this is done in more detail.
