Implicit Modelling

Populate Orientations from Wireframes

The Populate Orientations from Wireframes tool has been added to the Block Model tab, in the Variable Trend group to interpolate the local orientation of wireframe/s, streamlining the preparation for Variable Trend (Dynamic Anisotropy) estimates.

The Populate Orientations tool extracts / blends the local Azimuth and Plunge from a wireframe, or set of wireframes, to populate a block model for use with the Variable Search options in the Kriging and IDW forms. Using a Structural Trend model for this purpose can be a time consuming process, and so Populate Orientations is the recommended tool.

Variable Trend Parameters

The option to use Dip Direction, Dip and Pitch parameters has been added to the Populate Block Model tool on the Block Model tab, in the Variable Trend group

If you select the Dip Direction, Dip, Pitch option, you can select the fields containing these values, instead of Azimuth, Plunge and Rotation. These fields change the orientation of the model as well as the search ellipsoid.
