<v ->Hello, everyone.</v>

[00:00:04.450]
Welcome to the webinar,

[00:00:06.017]
“Using Leapfrog Works and Central

[00:00:08.610]
in a BIM Transportation Project.”

[00:00:10.980]
My name is Xiao Ma

[00:00:12.000]
and I work as a Regional Specialist for Leapfrog Works,

[00:00:16.340]
I’m a geologist by background.

[00:00:18.980]
Today, we’re going to look at creating a geological model

[00:00:22.250]
in Leapfrog Works.

[00:00:24.000]
I’m going to show you how to import designs

[00:00:26.300]
and handle the interaction of those beam designs

[00:00:30.320]
with the subsurface 3D model.

[00:00:33.130]
And finally,

[00:00:33.963]
we’re going to look at creating an IFC geological model,

[00:00:38.300]
all while highlighting the benefit

[00:00:40.510]
of using our cloud solution, Sequent Central.

[00:00:45.410]
We believe these webinars can support you

[00:00:48.860]
on understanding how we can help your day to day activity

[00:00:54.830]
of creating and refining your geological,

[00:00:57.490]
radio technical interpretation.

[00:01:00.190]
And we can also improve your understanding of the subsurface

[00:01:05.900]
and its interaction with the designs.

[00:01:09.366]
So you can provide the best design parameters

[00:01:12.650]
and ultimately decrease risk and improve efficiency.

[00:01:17.570]
So let’s move on to showing you our cloud solution, Central.

[00:01:25.520]
We’re going to start in our cloud environment called Central.

[00:01:31.240]
This is the web interface of Central.

[00:01:34.670]
We are now looking at the projects tab

[00:01:36.950]
where I have already searched.

[00:01:40.000]
As you can see here on the right hand side

[00:01:41.890]
in the search tab,

[00:01:44.190]
our project that is called “Road Cut and Tunnel.”

[00:01:48.700]
So let’s proceed to open it

[00:01:50.320]
to see the different tabs available for this project.

[00:01:54.160]
We’re now in the overview tab,

[00:01:56.240]
where we can see the history section for the project,

[00:02:00.310]
where we can look at the different versions

[00:02:03.150]
for this project.

[00:02:05.130]
Here we have just one.

[00:02:07.180]
We can visualize which branch this version belongs to

[00:02:10.970]
in the project tree or in the graph on the left hand side

[00:02:15.180]
and visualize any note that has been made for this version

[00:02:19.560]
when it was uploaded.

[00:02:21.140]
The stage this version is at,

[00:02:24.180]
we are at the progress of 50%

[00:02:27.520]
and the user that uploaded this version.

[00:02:30.120]
So this is where we can do virtual control

[00:02:33.650]
and we can have our single source of tools

[00:02:37.560]
when working on a specific project.

[00:02:40.510]
Moving onto the user stop,

[00:02:42.750]
this is where we can assign users to this project

[00:02:46.960]
with three different levels of permission

[00:02:49.930]
that I have displayed in his example.

[00:02:52.690]
We have the owner and editor,

[00:02:56.860]
and also the viewer with the lowest levels of permission.

[00:03:01.630]
This role especially is ideal for members of the company

[00:03:06.631]
that don’t need to work directly on the project,

[00:03:09.520]
but just need to view and comment on the project

[00:03:13.100]
and also for stakeholders.

[00:03:15.500]
So for example, from a joint venture or for customers.

[00:03:20.380]
Let’s move on to the data room now, the first tab.

[00:03:24.290]
In this section,

[00:03:25.290]
we can store all the relevant data for the project

[00:03:29.110]
that is now available in a common location,

[00:03:32.210]
available for all users that need to work on the project.

[00:03:36.690]
And we can also pull files from here

[00:03:39.580]
directly from Leapfrog Works.

[00:03:44.880]
Another interesting feature of the data home

[00:03:48.980]
is that we can check

[00:03:50.370]
if there are multiple versions of the same file

[00:03:53.900]
uploaded at different times.

[00:03:55.830]
So as you can see for our example,

[00:03:58.510]
for the R 2D data within the boreholes,

[00:04:01.480]
if I click on it, you see here in the file history section,

[00:04:07.370]
we can see the different versions that have been uploaded

[00:04:12.080]
and we can also download or delete them.

[00:04:19.900]
So if we go back into our overview tab,

[00:04:22.630]
I now want to show you how comments work.

[00:04:26.960]
As you can see,

[00:04:27.793]
I’ve just left a comment to my colleague, Nickil,

[00:04:32.070]
to show him the latest update of the geological model.

[00:04:37.520]
So I’m going to now click on the comment

[00:04:39.300]
and I’m going to be automatically redirected

[00:04:41.960]
to our web visualization platform called Webviz

[00:04:47.890]
where I have prepared a scene

[00:04:51.510]
showing the geological model for him to see.

[00:04:56.870]
This is the 3D space where we can visualize our models.

[00:05:03.200]
We can slice them.

[00:05:12.340]
And we can also leave comments for our colleagues.

[00:05:29.740]
And tag them.

[00:05:31.210]
And we can also geo locate our comments.

[00:05:47.640]
The last thing I want to show you about Central

[00:05:51.120]
is the notification section

[00:05:53.340]
that you can access from the bell button up here,

[00:05:58.080]
where you’re going to be notified of any sort of activity

[00:06:02.600]
that happens in Central,

[00:06:04.810]
so you can be notified of comments,

[00:06:07.300]
users that are added,

[00:06:08.810]
new versions that are added for a project as well.

[00:06:15.350]
You also have preferences where you can set up

[00:06:20.950]
what sort of notifications you want to receive.

[00:06:23.950]
So if you want to receive them in the web app or via email,

[00:06:29.170]
you have all of your options.

[00:06:32.150]
And also you can select which projects

[00:06:35.150]
you want to receive notifications for and mute some of them.

[00:06:42.950]
So let’s move now to the modeling suite

[00:06:46.356]
so we can proceed with our demonstration.

[00:06:53.380]
So when we open the modeling suite,

[00:06:57.260]
we are in the projects tab

[00:06:59.040]
where we can see the recent projects,

[00:07:02.030]
and also all the projects that we have worked on.

[00:07:06.640]
Here on the right hand side, in this section,

[00:07:09.890]
we are already connected to Central.

[00:07:15.230]
And if I click on the three dots,

[00:07:18.590]
we get a number of options,

[00:07:20.970]
and we’ll be able to view the projects

[00:07:23.350]
that I have stored in Central,

[00:07:25.290]
go to the bar tab that I’ve just showed you,

[00:07:28.310]
modeled, so disconnect from Central.

[00:07:33.890]
So now I’m going to open the project here.

[00:07:39.160]
So we are now in the project tab.

[00:07:41.630]
You can see the project history,

[00:07:43.530]
which is an exact replica of what we saw before

[00:07:47.290]
in the web app of Central.

[00:07:50.070]
And I’m going to proceeded to opening the project

[00:07:55.090]
in a scene view.

[00:07:57.690]
So if you’re not familiar with the Leapfrog interface,

[00:08:01.410]
I’m going to give you a whistle stop tour.

[00:08:07.930]
I’m going to bring in an object.

[00:08:10.330]
So the big white rectangle

[00:08:13.030]
that you can see in the middle of the screen,

[00:08:16.170]
where I’m holding on to,

[00:08:18.480]
is where you can see your objects,

[00:08:20.670]
and you can rotate them around in the 3D space.

[00:08:24.620]
At the bottom of the screen, we have the shape list.

[00:08:28.590]
The shape list is where we have the list of all the objects

[00:08:31.930]
available in scene view,

[00:08:34.460]
where we can also switch them on and off.

[00:08:40.550]
And we can also regulate visualization settings.

[00:08:43.730]
So for example, transparency,

[00:08:46.330]
as you can see now.

[00:08:49.000]
And much more.

[00:08:51.630]
The project tree

[00:08:52.610]
is the heart of the Leapfrog modeling engine.

[00:08:56.200]
It’s been designed with a workflow oriented mindset

[00:09:02.100]
and a top down approach,

[00:09:04.070]
which means that you ideally approach it at the top

[00:09:08.410]
and work your way down as you work at your project.

[00:09:16.030]
In the project tree,

[00:09:17.300]
you can upload your input data

[00:09:21.670]
in the topography folder, down to the meshes folder.

[00:09:26.610]
You can create models, geological models, numeric models,

[00:09:31.050]
and combined models.

[00:09:33.460]
With the hydrogeology extension,

[00:09:35.410]
you can create mud flow and feed flow grids,

[00:09:39.360]
and you could, with the contaminants extension,

[00:09:42.500]
you can

[00:09:44.420]
create

[00:09:47.050]
block models.

[00:09:48.250]
But also you can use three different algorithms

[00:09:53.080]
for estimation.

[00:09:55.240]
So you can use your Nearest Neighbor,

[00:09:58.740]
Dual Kriging and Inverse Distance algorithms.

[00:10:05.280]
So I’m going to now guide you through

[00:10:07.400]
how to build to a geological model together.

[00:10:12.280]
First of all, I’m going to show you the input data

[00:10:14.920]
for this geological model

[00:10:16.330]
that I have already uploaded into the screen.

[00:10:20.860]
I will just keep it to the relevant elements.

[00:10:31.150]
So we’re now looking at the borehole data for this model.

[00:10:39.140]
You can see the legend up here.

[00:10:41.920]
So this is going to be part of the input data

[00:10:44.960]
for our geological model.

[00:10:46.520]
I’m going to clear the scene and show you the final model

[00:10:51.210]
that we wanted to create,

[00:10:53.230]
where I’m not going to be able

[00:10:54.730]
to drive you through the whole process,

[00:10:56.920]
but we’re just going to go through the initial stages together.

[00:11:01.730]
So this is the final model

[00:11:04.340]
that has been created within this project.

[00:11:08.040]
As you can see, we have the volume of the model,

[00:11:13.310]
and we also have three-fourths.

[00:11:17.450]
Today, we’re going to focus on start modeling

[00:11:21.960]
a few of the contact surfaces

[00:11:25.650]
that we have created within this model.

[00:11:28.610]
So now I’m going to clear my scene again,

[00:11:31.820]
right-click on geological models

[00:11:33.880]
and create a new geological model.

[00:11:38.460]
So a geological model is an object

[00:11:41.420]
that I’m going to describe you in a second.

[00:11:43.670]
One of the first things we need to decide

[00:11:45.890]
is the base lithology column.

[00:11:47.950]
So which lithology column that we’re going to utilize

[00:11:51.840]
from our borehole data.

[00:11:52.977]
And in this case, we’re going to use the one code GM.

[00:11:57.990]
We’re going to select to have

[00:11:58.910]
a surface resolution of 50 meters.

[00:12:05.170]
And we are going to use the extent,

[00:12:08.900]
so the cube that encloses the volume,

[00:12:12.200]
where we’re going to model

[00:12:13.810]
from the original or final geological model

[00:12:19.003]
that we have just looked at together.

[00:12:36.500]
And call it

[00:12:40.420]
Geological

[00:12:43.070]
Model.

[00:12:47.330]
So we have several elements within our geological model.

[00:12:56.090]
So it’s formed by, in it’s case, by a bonding box.

[00:13:00.880]
And also cupped upwards by our topography.

[00:13:06.740]
In the GN, we also have a fault system

[00:13:10.720]
where we can model faults and apply them to the volume

[00:13:14.580]
in order to create different fault blocks

[00:13:17.280]
and generate a displacement along our contact surfaces.

[00:13:22.880]
We have our lithologies.

[00:13:27.760]
So if I double click,

[00:13:29.480]
you can see a list of all the lithologies

[00:13:32.250]
available in the boreholes.

[00:13:37.550]
We then have our surface chronology,

[00:13:40.440]
which is where we’re going to start and build

[00:13:44.310]
our contact surfaces

[00:13:46.320]
in order to reach the end goal

[00:13:48.730]
of building a geological model,

[00:13:50.330]
which is generating lithological volumes.

[00:13:54.210]
So I’m going to start at the bottom of the chronology.

[00:13:59.340]
So I’m going to start to building the contact

[00:14:02.120]
between the dark red sandstone

[00:14:05.010]
and the (indistinct) mudstone.

[00:14:07.670]
I’m going to right click onto surface chronology,

[00:14:11.990]
select the deposit tool,

[00:14:16.760]
and I’m going to build these using GIS vector data.

[00:14:29.530]
And I’m going to select the contact on topography

[00:14:35.100]
represented by a GIS line.

[00:14:38.460]
Click okay.

[00:14:39.930]
I’m going to select the dark red sandstone

[00:14:43.480]
as the younger lithology

[00:14:45.220]
and the (indistinct) mudstone as the older lithology.

[00:14:49.790]
And click okay.

[00:14:51.000]
And this is our first contact surface.

[00:14:58.200]
Then I’m going to move on

[00:14:59.860]
to the rice seal stone baseless contact.

[00:15:05.160]
So I’m going to right click build it again as a deposit

[00:15:11.890]
from contact on topography.

[00:15:21.560]
I’m going to select the appropriate GIS file

[00:15:28.330]
and rice seal stone is going to be the younger lithology,

[00:15:33.640]
dark red sandstone is going to be the older lithology.

[00:15:38.063]
And I’m going to click okay.

[00:15:40.550]
In this case, I know that I have other data available,

[00:15:44.530]
so, I’m going to, first of all,

[00:15:46.710]
drag and drop it into the screen

[00:15:48.230]
and we’re going to see how the surface changes

[00:15:50.630]
as we add other data.

[00:15:53.470]
So we’re going to, first of all,

[00:15:55.220]
select to add the contacts that we see in the boreholes

[00:16:01.260]
from borehole data.

[00:16:04.330]
So we’ll have to select my rice seal stone

[00:16:07.290]
and use the contacts below with the dark red sandstone.

[00:16:13.340]
Click

[00:16:15.240]
okay.

[00:16:20.430]
And you see, the first example of dynamic updating.

[00:16:23.810]
So how the surface changes

[00:16:26.140]
as soon as we add other data to it.

[00:16:30.360]
I also know that I have some additional data available

[00:16:33.720]
in the form of structural data

[00:16:37.970]
that I am going to select

[00:16:41.140]
and I am going to click okay

[00:16:42.870]
and it’s going to automatically be added to my surface.

[00:16:46.480]
And you see now how this surface is now shaped.

[00:16:50.550]
You see that this is now a fold.

[00:16:54.350]
And if I go to my project tree

[00:16:56.220]
and I click on the dropdown arrow besides this surface,

[00:17:00.330]
you’re going to see that now,

[00:17:02.310]
it’s listing the three different kinds of data

[00:17:05.060]
I have added to it.

[00:17:08.507]
I will go off now

[00:17:10.630]
and finish modeling my whole surface chronology,

[00:17:16.220]
and we’re going to come back to activate our contact surfaces

[00:17:21.750]
in order to create the volumes.

[00:17:27.410]
So we are back.

[00:17:30.250]
As you can see, I have completed my surface chronology,

[00:17:35.048]
and I’m going to show you how to activate our surfaces.

[00:17:43.020]
So double clicking on surface chronology,

[00:17:45.410]
I’m going to activate all of my contact surfaces

[00:17:48.720]
and click okay.

[00:17:54.340]
And now Leapfrog, it’s processing within the processing tab

[00:17:58.910]
in order to create our final lithological volumes.

[00:18:08.890]
Now, the final lithological volumes have been created,

[00:18:11.660]
so I’m going to clear the scene and drag and drop them

[00:18:15.970]
into the screen.

[00:18:19.090]
So this is the final product

[00:18:23.290]
where the faults haven’t been activated yet.

[00:18:26.640]
The next step would be activating the faults,

[00:18:29.890]
which are not,

[00:18:30.760]
we’re not going to do it today

[00:18:32.930]
in order to obtain our final product,

[00:18:41.570]
which is this model here that we have looked at before.

[00:18:50.060]
So moving on to the next topic,

[00:18:57.330]
I want to drive you through a two step process.

[00:19:00.640]
So I want,

[00:19:01.560]
I will show you how to upload a second set of boreholes,

[00:19:06.800]
which is a feature that we have recently introduced

[00:19:09.990]
with the major release 2021.1.

[00:19:14.110]
And we’re going to create together a numeric model

[00:19:17.510]
out of those, the new data.

[00:19:22.000]
So as you can see,

[00:19:23.600]
we already have a set of boreholes

[00:19:25.820]
and we’re going to upload a new one.

[00:19:28.300]
So I’m going to right click,

[00:19:30.650]
select import boreholes from Central.

[00:19:33.180]
So this is where we’re going to look directly

[00:19:35.370]
into the data room for this project.

[00:19:38.330]
I’m going to select the project

[00:19:41.620]
and we will

[00:19:47.100]
select the colors.

[00:19:52.860]
So we’re going to import the color file.

[00:19:57.550]
We’re not going to import the geology

[00:20:00.660]
as we already have imported that,

[00:20:06.020]
but we are going to look directly

[00:20:09.470]
at the R 2D and fracture frequency.

[00:20:14.710]
So if you remember before,

[00:20:16.520]
we saw there were two versions of this file.

[00:20:21.270]
So I’m going to import this

[00:20:28.480]
in the import wizard is extremely simple

[00:20:32.170]
and here, everything has already been selected

[00:20:35.390]
for the color file.

[00:20:37.050]
So, EC knotting, elevation of each point,

[00:20:40.560]
and the max depth of the borehole.

[00:20:44.310]
And in the next step,

[00:20:48.460]
we can also see

[00:20:49.370]
that everything is correctly set up for the survey file.

[00:20:54.964]
And instead, for the R 2D table,

[00:20:58.550]
we will need to select the R 2D column

[00:21:01.280]
to be imported as a numeric file.

[00:21:06.060]
So data type and same for the fracture frequency column.

[00:21:12.530]
So I’m going to finish.

[00:21:16.290]
Once we’re finished,

[00:21:17.240]
we can import the object into the screen.

[00:21:20.910]
So if we zoom in,

[00:21:22.180]
we can see that we have

[00:21:23.530]
our visualization of the borehole data as a cylinder,

[00:21:27.810]
and I’m going to switch that off just to look, uh,

[00:21:31.190]
a little bit better at the graphs

[00:21:32.970]
that have been automatically created by Leapfrog.

[00:21:36.010]
And as you can see,

[00:21:37.430]
we have a very good R 2D in most of the area

[00:21:40.910]
and just a few boreholes with a little bit less good R 2D.

[00:21:46.180]
So let’s move on to the second step,

[00:21:48.140]
which is creating a continuous model

[00:21:51.460]
using the RBF interport.

[00:21:56.530]
So here we’re going to select our R 2D

[00:22:00.140]
to be a R 2D from the second set of boreholes

[00:22:05.630]
to be our base data.

[00:22:11.430]
We’re going to select to, um,

[00:22:16.870]
enclose this data, initially,

[00:22:20.530]
as to basically select a boundary.

[00:22:25.600]
I’m just going to make sure

[00:22:29.510]
we get

[00:22:31.710]
an approximate

[00:22:34.780]
elevation.

[00:22:35.630]
So it’s just a bit below the boreholes.

[00:22:40.950]
We’re going to select surface resolution of 50,

[00:22:46.740]
and we’re good to go.

[00:22:47.670]
So we’re going to create our first iteration

[00:22:50.510]
of the numeric model,

[00:22:53.180]
which I’m going to drag and drop into the scene now.

[00:22:58.580]
This first iteration is not,

[00:23:01.750]
has not the desired intervals,

[00:23:03.820]
so I’m going to open by double clicking

[00:23:07.630]
and go to our outputs tab and select to add the 40 interval.

[00:23:13.970]
And we want to have a surface,

[00:23:16.700]
a nicer surface at the value of 20.

[00:23:21.281]
The other would be 40, 60,

[00:23:26.058]
and 80.

[00:23:31.170]
I have also quickly set up the colors

[00:23:34.690]
for the different volumes to match the same color scale

[00:23:39.050]
that we have used in the boreholes.

[00:23:42.756]
So I’m going to click okay.

[00:23:45.556]
And we’re going to look at the result together.

[00:23:50.930]
So this is the result with the correct color scaling

[00:23:55.160]
and colors applied to it.

[00:23:58.770]
I’m going to slice it for you

[00:24:06.900]
and to show it inception.

[00:24:12.700]
I also want to go through a final step.

[00:24:15.890]
So we open again our continuous model

[00:24:20.130]
and in out trend tab,

[00:24:23.800]
I want to select the one of the faults

[00:24:25.690]
that we know are in this model

[00:24:29.890]
to set up a trend.

[00:24:32.550]
I’m not going to get into too much detail today about this,

[00:24:35.980]
but a trend is basically a preferential direction

[00:24:39.540]
of where and it all should be also be within the model.

[00:24:42.770]
So as you can see now,

[00:24:43.720]
the trend has been set up to the orientation of the fault,

[00:24:49.170]
and we also have some anisotropy applied to this model.

[00:24:54.370]
So I’m going to click okay,

[00:24:55.527]
and we’re going to see how the model dynamically updates

[00:24:58.960]
in order to adapt to these new information

[00:25:01.760]
that we have set up for it.

[00:25:08.460]
Okay.

[00:25:10.330]
So, now,

[00:25:11.163]
I’d like to move on to the third step before,

[00:25:15.720]
for this part of the process with the numeric model.

[00:25:18.620]
So I’d like to show you

[00:25:20.300]
how we can pool the latest version for this data

[00:25:24.700]
in order to update our model.

[00:25:29.770]
So I’m going to go to my second set of boreholes, again.

[00:25:35.830]
I’m going to right click on the table that I wish to update,

[00:25:40.920]
select reload from Central and look at Central history.

[00:25:45.040]
So here, I’m looking directly at this file

[00:25:48.050]
and at all the versions available for this file.

[00:25:52.960]
So I can see that there is a latest version of the file

[00:25:55.470]
that also contains borehole data.

[00:26:00.180]
So R 2D data for the phase two boreholes

[00:26:02.800]
telling the previous version weren’t populated.

[00:26:08.250]
So I have, I will select to utilize that version.

[00:26:13.150]
So to get it directly from Central,

[00:26:17.030]
click,

[00:26:19.480]
actually, before doing this,

[00:26:21.120]
I just want to make sure we can visualize those workloads.

[00:26:26.490]
So we’ll see where they are added.

[00:26:30.940]
So going back to that, reload from Central,

[00:26:35.100]
reload from history,

[00:26:37.250]
I’m going to select that and click okay.

[00:26:40.390]
So now you should see our new boreholes.

[00:26:43.450]
Actually,

[00:26:44.283]
before we’re going to go through our importing process

[00:26:47.070]
that we have seen before,

[00:26:48.270]
where everything has been set up of ready.

[00:26:50.700]
So we’re going to finish

[00:26:51.780]
and so you should not see the new boreholes

[00:26:55.210]
appear in this area

[00:26:57.360]
and the model change

[00:27:00.210]
within your information for those boreholes.

[00:27:04.160]
I’m going to just slice it through here

[00:27:06.590]
so you can see how it has changed.

[00:27:11.920]
Now, I’d like to move on to showing

[00:27:14.920]
the next workflow for this webinar.

[00:27:18.380]
So I’m going to collapse the project tree

[00:27:21.850]
and clear the scene.

[00:27:25.470]
So this workflow is aimed at the extruding the lithology

[00:27:31.880]
so we have created in our geological model

[00:27:34.470]
along the tunnel.

[00:27:35.720]
We’re going to do this in two steps.

[00:27:37.720]
First of all,

[00:27:38.553]
we’re going to create a geological model

[00:27:40.970]
and that generates a volume inside of the tunnel extent.

[00:27:45.170]
And then in the combined models folder,

[00:27:48.080]
we’re going to combine that with a complete geological model

[00:27:52.640]
in order to extrude the our lithologies.

[00:27:56.160]
So let’s start with our workflow.

[00:27:58.880]
First step is creating our tunnel volume model,

[00:28:03.120]
geological model.

[00:28:06.450]
So we’re going to select as base lithologycal unknown,

[00:28:09.730]
you’ll see why in a second.

[00:28:12.920]
Surface resolution 50,

[00:28:15.830]
extent of the model is going to be

[00:28:17.690]
the previous original geological model extent.

[00:28:23.290]
So it’s going to be this one.

[00:28:27.260]
And we’re going to call it Tunnel Volume.

[00:28:37.150]
Once that’s created, we need to create the two lithologies.

[00:28:47.810]
So inside tunnel

[00:28:52.400]
and outside tunnel

[00:28:56.820]
and click okay.

[00:29:00.110]
Now we’re going to create the contact surface

[00:29:02.250]
in order to generate the inside tunnel volume.

[00:29:05.390]
We’re going to select any intrusion,

[00:29:07.270]
which is a pretty flexible tool.

[00:29:11.210]
The input data is going to be

[00:29:13.260]
the surface that represents the tunnel extent.

[00:29:16.060]
So we’re going to navigate back to the designs folder

[00:29:19.410]
and select tunnel extent

[00:29:22.260]
and click okay.

[00:29:24.270]
So the lithology inside,

[00:29:26.770]
generated inside is going to be inside tunnel

[00:29:30.830]
and the one outside, outside tunnel.

[00:29:33.770]
Click okay.

[00:29:35.210]
We’re going to drag and drop it into the screen

[00:29:37.280]
to check it’s correct.

[00:29:39.820]
It is.

[00:29:41.730]
Now we’re going to activate it

[00:29:43.630]
in order to create our volume.

[00:29:52.650]
So the volume has been created, as you can see.

[00:29:57.090]
And I’m also going to show you a cross section of this model.

[00:30:03.120]
There we go.

[00:30:06.040]
So moving on to the second step,

[00:30:08.110]
we’re going to create a combined model.

[00:30:15.490]
We are going to use our tunnel volume

[00:30:18.650]
that we have just created.

[00:30:20.550]
And also

[00:30:23.310]
the old data model that we have created with,

[00:30:28.540]
that I have showed you before,

[00:30:29.940]
so this is the final model,

[00:30:33.910]
final geological model of the area.

[00:30:37.890]
So I’m going to click okay.

[00:30:42.090]
So now I will select the full geological model

[00:30:47.960]
and inside tunnel volume,

[00:30:53.495]
I’m going to bring this up.

[00:30:56.550]
So this is going to be the first level

[00:30:58.230]
of our combined model and then select the outside tunnel.

[00:31:03.028]
And click okay.

[00:31:07.540]
So this has now processed.

[00:31:11.160]
We can see the inside tunnel volumes,

[00:31:13.820]
so we’re going to drag and drop them into the screen.

[00:31:19.560]
So as you can see, we have created an extrusion

[00:31:23.860]
of our lithologies along the tunnel,

[00:31:28.130]
and we have some funky colors

[00:31:30.530]
automatically generated by Leapfrog

[00:31:33.000]
and you have at your legend up here.

[00:31:36.800]
And I also want to show you

[00:31:38.290]
that if you click on any of these elements,

[00:31:42.190]
you can see which lithology is that element composed by.

[00:31:47.050]
In this case, the green segment is dark red sandstone.

[00:31:51.530]
You can see its location in information window,

[00:31:55.260]
but also its volume and area.

[00:32:00.920]
So now I’d like to drive you through the last bit of our,

[00:32:07.760]
of our workflow that I’d like to show you.

[00:32:10.200]
So I’m going to collapse the project tree again.

[00:32:15.320]
The steps I’d like to quickly describe you

[00:32:18.120]
to end this webinar,

[00:32:20.300]
consists in exporting the IFC model.

[00:32:28.670]
So in this case,

[00:32:30.230]
I’d like to export our combined model in the IFC format.

[00:32:37.140]
So first of all,

[00:32:38.260]
I will right click onto the combined model

[00:32:41.460]
and select volume attributes

[00:32:43.680]
in order to generate some attributes for this volume.

[00:32:51.430]
So everything I would need to do

[00:32:53.400]
is click on the asterisk button

[00:32:56.600]
and select a new attribute.

[00:33:03.170]
So we’re going to create the attribute density

[00:33:06.600]
and click okay.

[00:33:08.870]
So now, I can attribute a density

[00:33:13.940]
to each of my volumes.

[00:33:17.370]
So for example, for,

[00:33:19.800]
sorry, for, actually,

[00:33:22.350]
sandstone,

[00:33:24.360]
I will attribute a density of 2.6 grams per cubic meter.

[00:33:32.000]
I will,

[00:33:32.833]
I can do this for all of my volumes

[00:33:35.340]
and attribute more than one column to them

[00:33:39.010]
and then click save.

[00:33:42.330]
And this is now part of the,

[00:33:45.380]
would be now exported within the IFC model.

[00:33:52.110]
So I’m going to now go back to my combined model,

[00:33:55.810]
right click, export.

[00:33:59.770]
And I will have to select

[00:34:02.077]
all the elements that I want to export

[00:34:04.130]
in this case, my whole inside tunnel model.

[00:34:11.980]
So I’m going to just tick all the boxes

[00:34:16.250]
and we select the industry foundation classes here,

[00:34:20.850]
and I can also combine it,

[00:34:22.860]
combine the outputs into a zip archive, should I wish to.

[00:34:28.090]
So I’m going to select export now.

[00:34:35.330]
So this is now completed and I’m back (indistinct).

[00:34:39.090]
So I have also showed you

[00:34:40.520]
how to export to your finished models

[00:34:43.480]
into the IFC format.

[00:34:47.410]
You can do this for your borehole data.

[00:34:51.420]
So I’m going to quickly show you how to do it

[00:34:53.680]
with our first set of boreholes.

[00:34:56.150]
Export.

[00:34:57.180]
And select the export to IFC

[00:35:00.670]
and just follow the same procedure we have followed now.

[00:35:05.850]
We can also do this for geological models, numeric models,

[00:35:09.610]
and as we just saw, combined models.

[00:35:15.410]
So the last thing that I’d like to show you today

[00:35:18.710]
is how to publish back into Central

[00:35:21.400]
the latest version of the project

[00:35:23.150]
that you have just completed.

[00:35:25.920]
So I’m going to go to the bottom left hand side corner,

[00:35:30.620]
click on the three dots,

[00:35:32.390]
making sure I am connected to my Central server

[00:35:35.960]
and click onto publish.

[00:35:40.420]
Here, I’m going to select all the objects

[00:35:43.670]
that I want to make sure

[00:35:47.010]
I can visualize once into Webviz.

[00:35:51.030]
This step is just to,

[00:35:53.380]
in order to have these objects available into Webviz,

[00:35:59.130]
but actually all of these objects

[00:36:01.350]
are going to be available

[00:36:03.140]
when re-downloading this version of the project.

[00:36:08.100]
So I’m going to click onto next.

[00:36:10.610]
I’m going to select the project workflow stage,

[00:36:14.260]
I was it a progress of 50% before,

[00:36:17.050]
now I’m going to select 75%.

[00:36:20.170]
I’m going to, of course, included the project as complete

[00:36:25.570]
and click onto next.

[00:36:28.020]
I’m going to select to stay in the default project branch.

[00:36:31.820]
And I’m going to say,

[00:36:33.637]
“That I have created the numeric model

[00:36:39.660]
and extrusion of lithologies along the tunnel.”

[00:36:48.447]
I’m going to click onto next

[00:36:50.910]
and the project is now going to be uploaded into Central.

[00:37:03.060]
Now that the project is published,

[00:37:05.120]
if we go back to the project tab in Leapfrog,

[00:37:10.350]
we’re going to see the now a second version

[00:37:12.780]
has appeared in our project history.

[00:37:16.370]
Where you want to see my notes

[00:37:19.340]
that I just typed into the publishing workflow.

[00:37:25.340]
So this is everything I wanted to cover with you today.

[00:37:28.830]
Thank you very much for attending this webinar

[00:37:31.690]
and happy modeling.
