GEM4D Version 1.7.5.2 available for download

Version 1.7.5.2 adds a feature that I have been thinking about for many months - fitting a curved surface through mapping data that take account of their orientations (similar to some geological packages). It took me some time to figure out, but the results are great and it opens a world of new possibilities. Many thanks for KdP that often discussed this with me, and also the inputs and thoughts from RT, LH and KB on specific aspects. New functionality Add "Top toolbar => Dis

Version 1.7.5.1 is mainly a bug fix update , although I also got some interface changes done on aspects that have been annoying me for a while. Many thanks for the very quick responses from MdC and RT on errors they found in Version 1.7.5.0! New functionality Add check boxes to the "Mesh => Files and Objects => Files" list control (top list to the left where the file names are displayed).

The main components of the drill hole functionality are eventually completed! This is a milestone for GEM4D, and many future additions and improvements will be married to the drill hole module. New functionality All aspects of normal drill hole logging are now supported under "Ribbon => Drillhole" - collars, surveys and attributes. See discussion below for a instructions to use the drill hole functionality. Many additions will be added during the year, such as composites and

GEM4D Version 1.7.3.0 available for download

My time for programming was very limited the past year, and I had to make it work with small time windows between other responsibilities. This resulted in a higher frequency of small bugs, at I did not have the luxury of extended focused sessions. I also struggled to update the Blog each time I published a new version of GEM4D. Apologies for that, I will attempt to manage this better in future. Version 1.7.2.6 was published before, but I did not update the Blog and thus incor

Many changes to Version 1.7.2.5 will not be obvious, as I am working on the back-end to support lines and drillholes. These two entities are closely related and will open a whole new dimension of functionality options when completed. Many thanks this time to CH, KdP, GB, AJ, NT,JW, JV, RT, JD, AJ, NW, SW, AK, TB, PC, TM, RJ, AT, GS and GK. GEM4D can now be downloaded in two different formats: Installation file as before.

Version 1.7.2.4 has been available for some time, but I just could not find the time to update the blog. Another update will probably be available by the end of the weekend, and I hope to get time to update the blog this time. Only small logic changes and bug fixes this update, and apologies for the discomfort the previous update caused some.

Some additions were made to the CSV export of information as lines, a filtering option added, and PrisVec was added to the distribution. Thanks for feedback from to JD, MF, AB, JL, AJ, NB, KdP, JB, GS, KB & GK.

Version 1.7.2.2 contains many smaller updates from feedback after the large Version 1.7.0.0 update.

Version 1.7.2.0 has many additions and could be unstable until the new functions are fully tested, and some of the existing functions could be affected due to the many code changes required. The most noticeable additions are support for drill hole surveys, new clipping options, slope reconciliation support, cumulative frequency plots, volume calculations, and automatically adding coordinates to a grid by picking in the scene.

Version 1.7.1.2 is a large update with many additions and improvements. The most noticeable improvements are Marker/Mapping data that now loads 5-7 times faster than before, fitting of mathematical surfaces through data points, colouring meshes on the shortest distance to other meshes, picking individual vertices in large data sets, and the automatic display of statistics for Marker/Mapping data next to the charts. I also started with the drillhole support which is long overd

Version 1.7.0.4 adds many data filtering options to extract data spatially. I had some thinking about this, as filtering is typically not intuitive in packages I used in the past. The best way still seems the filtering methods used in REM3D, but the implementation is much improved in GEM4D. See my upcoming 2015 Quarter 4 Newsletter for more details on filtering.
