How to import a Geosoft vector voxel into Leapfrog Geo.

Objective:

I have a Geosoft vector Voxel I would like to import into Leapfrog Geo

 

Resolution:

  1. Export the vector voxel to a GDB. You get a number of decomposed channels, you'll want to keep the X,Y,Z, and the Amp, Dec, Inc channels.
  2. Make a new channel called "Trend" and take the Declination (Dec) channel as an input and do some math, a little if/else:
       * C0 = (C1>=0) ? (C1) : (C1+360);
       * Where C0 is your new output channel, called "Trend", and C1 is your original 'Dec'.
  3. Export the GDB to CSV, making sure that you do not include dummies, or line names as data.
  4. In Leapfrog, go to the Structural Modelling folder, RMB> Import Lineations...
      * Browse to that CSV file.
      * The X, Y and Z should be highlighted for import in green.
      * Drop down the Amp column name and choose "Amp" Numeric.
      * Drop down the Inc column name and choose Plunge.
      * The Trend column you created earlier should also be recognized and highlighted green for import.
      * Click Finish.
  5. Expand the CSV file name that appeared under Structural Modelling, and drag the Amp points in to the 3D scene. They should come in as cones, and be pointing in their correct directions. You can scale the values by Amplitude, and/or adjust the cone length in the lower right corner dialog.
