Help on explicit modelling of geologic mapping data?

Good day! Im just a beginner in leapfrog geo and I would like some help in creating a vein model based on geologic mapping data and also the lithology model of surrounding rocks. I want to set the thickness, as well as use the strike/dip measurements of the mapped veins. Maybe someone here has a link on a tutorial on this? It would be a great help to me.

In addition to this, any guides also in making complex shapes in implicit vein modelling using drillhole data? Shapes like letter "Y" or multiple suparallel veins and will merge at a deeper level.

    Hello,

    I recommend that you start with the Leapfrog Geo Fundamentals, especially modules 3. And after that, in Seequent Learning web page, try Building a Model from a Map in Leapfrog and Introduction to Vein Modelling with Leapfrog.

    I hope it will help

    Hi,

    I'm not sure how successful you will be in using the Vein Modelling tool only from map data, as in my understanding it requires at least some input data as intervals (drillhole or trench intersections) so that the footwall and hangingwall contact surfaces can be constructed. So if you only have some map traces of veins as lines that might not be enough. You may in this case need to build some 'fake' trenches where you have observations to achieve your goal. In order to represent merging veins you will need to look at the 'vein system' tool.

    cheers
