Leapfrog Geo 2021.1

This bold new release of Leapfrog 2021.1 builds on the strong foundations that we laid in the last release. Expect modernised deployment, powerful performance, fresh new features, user-centric enhancements and more.

A major boost to the heart of the Leapfrog engine is here with multiple drill hole datasets giving you freedom to import, visualise and manipulate more than one set of data in a project.

A powerful new optional add on is here, the Geophysics extension unlocking more ways to leverage your geophysical data in Leapfrog’s intuitive workflows.
