3 NEW FEATURES IN LEAPFROG GEO 4.3 Variable drillhole radius scaling When visualising downhole numerical data, you can now scale the width of the drillhole cylinder by another column of data values from the same table. Planned drillhole groups Planned drillholes are now managed in groups for greater efficiency. For example, carry out evaluations, define filters and display drilling prognosis at a group level. Planned drillholes can also now be viewed by evaluation. Your existing planned holes will automatically upgrade into this new grouping based upon the prefix. See planning drillholes for more information. Seequent Limited

4 Display drillhole trace object There is a new Drillhole traces object in the Drillholes folder that allows for independent display of drillhole traces in the scene. Trace display properties can be changed in the properties panel. Reload meshes New meshes imported into Leapfrog Geo or created from extracting mesh parts are now dynamic objects that can be reloaded. To reload a mesh, right-click on the mesh and select Reload Mesh. Changes to the mesh will flow down the project tree. Please note this excludes elevation grids. AcQuire Smart refresh Leapfrog Geo 4.3 introduces the acquiredirect API functionality - Smart Refresh. Smart Refresh obtains the latest drilling data from the GIM Suite database without having to reload the entire contents of the database. This will greatly reduce the amount of data transferred and speeds up data updates. Smart Refresh will only include drillholes relating to data that has been changed since the database was last updated in Leapfrog Geo. See connecting to an acquire database for more information. Mesh clean up improvements Imported volumes and meshes may have overlapping triangles (known as self-intersections) that prevent the mesh from being usable in further mesh operations. An option has been added to remove self-intersections from newly imported meshes. See cleaning up a mesh for more information. Structural data analysis View statistics on structural data or lineations in the project tree. The statistics displayed for stereonets has previously been limited to Fisher statistics, which are calculated for polar data. Bingham statistics, which are more useful for folded geologies, are now Seequent Limited

5 available. Clicking the Plot, Bingham, and Fisher buttons switches between the display of the stereonet and the statistics tables. See stereonets and viewing statistics on structural data for more information. Table of statistics for numeric data A new function has been added to Statistics that tabulates the basic statistics for numeric data. Customise the table by hiding columns or displaying multiple categories. Graphs and statistics refresh Several changes have been made to how graphs and statistics are displayed to provide a more consistent experience. See Statistics for more information. Scatter plots The Linear Regression line is now weighted by Interval Length for Drillholes and by Block Volume for Block Models. A lasso tool allows for improved freeform point selection on the graph. Selecting points in the scatter plot creates a temporary filter applied to the scene view. Switch the filter on and off to analyse in 3D how the selection relates to the rest of the data. This also applies to univariate graphs. Export the graph image as a.pdf or.svg or.png If your X and Y values are on different scales, it can be useful to display the quartile line and compare this to the X=Y line. Seequent Limited

6 Some lesser used functionality has been removed to improve the overall user experience. This includes zoom and pan controls, the ability to select point size and filter based on category column, set the flat point colour and the colour of the regression and conditional expectation lines. If you have feedback on this, please contact Box plots A small improvement makes it easier to see what categories are available in the box plot and if they are turned on or off. Some lesser used functionality has been removed to improve the overall user experience. This includes the option for vertical boxes, and notches. The summary table has been replaced with the new Table of Statistics. If you have feedback on this, please contact support@leapfrog3d.com. Seequent Limited

7 Composite comparison Click and drag on the before and after compositing graph to filter data. The selection will be reflected in the scene. QQ plot Filter your column by category or query filter. All graphs Choose the image quality when copying graphs. Set the limits for both the X and Y scales for all relevant graphs. The Histogram has been moved from the properties panel and can be accessed for many numeric objects by right clicking on the column in the tree. For example, view a histogram and statistics on structural data. Seequent Limited

8 Weighted statistics for numeric columns Both weighted and unweighted values are now displayed in the Properties Dialogs for numeric columns on interval tables. You can also view weighted and unweighted values in the Table of Statistics. Cross section improvements Line evaluations Evaluate lines on to cross sections such as GIS lines and polylines. Assign symbols to the pierce point where the line intersects the cross section, to provide context when presenting geological cross sections. Additional point symbols have been added. See adding and styling lines for more information. Seequent Limited

9 Hatching on drillholes When laying out cross sections it is now possible to display hatching on drillholes. See adding and styling drillholes and planned drillholes for more information. Arrange labels on cross sections Where multiple drillholes are evaluated in a confined space, cross section layouts can become hard to read or even overlap. With Leapfrog Geo 4.3 it is easy to arrange the collar labels into a custom composition by simply dragging the collar labels to the desired location. See adding and styling drillholes and planned drillholes for more information. Improved Datamine export The advanced block model export introduced in Leapfrog Geo 4.3 has been added to sub-blocked models exported in Datamine format. DWG file export.dwg is available as an export format for: Sections Serial sections Alignment serial sections Points Numeric model values Seequent Limited

10 Polylines Meshes DWG will export in the same hierarchical format used for DXF export. Sharing to View View is a web-based visualisation tool that is approachable for all users, giving you the confidence to share your data with extended stakeholders and collaborators. With the click of a button in Leapfrog Geo, upload customised views of your model in a form that easily communicates what is important, stripping away any unnecessary complexity. Leave collaborators notes or draw annotations on specific areas to direct focus to an area of interest within your data. When you upload a scene to View, a dialogue box will open with a warning if the objects selected are too large to upload. Speed is critical for displaying web-based data and why we have upload limit sizes, learn what they are. For more information on View and a demo, visit Seequent Limited

11 Central publishing improvements It is now possible to publish more types of data to Central, for viewing in Browser including: Planned drillholes Downhole points GIS data Images Textures Cross sections and polylines Cancel scene export Exporting large scenes can sometimes take longer than anticipated. Cancel a scene export at any time. Copy evaluations Regardless of what object you wish to copy, you can now be sure the evaluation will also be copied to the duplicate object. Hyperlinks in comments and notes Comments and notes in Leapfrog Geo projects support hyperlinks. Link to websites or file locations on your computer. Single sign in to View and My Leapfrog There is a new menu in the upper right-hand corner of the Leapfrog Geo window that lets you sign in to My Leapfrog and View. Installation path The default installation path for Leapfrog products is C:\Program Files\Seequent. Seequent Limited

12 UPGRADE NOTES Project upgrades Leapfrog Geo 4.3 is backwards compatible and supports direct project upgrades from any version of Leapfrog Geo since version 2.0. Projects built in earlier versions of the software must be opened using Leapfrog Geo 2.0 prior to being opened with 4.3. Backdated versions of the software are available at leapfrog3d.com. Hasp driver update Due to a problem between the Hasp dongle drivers and the recent Windows 10 update, you may have to wait for the Hasp driver to update to the latest version. This means that your Leapfrog Geo 4.3 Install will take longer than usual. Seequent Limited
