The functions covered in this post include: Create stereographic projection from selected data, Create Planes from stereographic projection and Dip/dip direction of the intersection line of two planes.ġ) How to create a stereonet from structural measurements?įirstly, use the Data Visualizer function described in the last blog post to plot 2D or 3D structural measurements on screen.

In part 2 of this 3 part GEOVIA blog post series we continue to discuss some of the key functions available within this suite of tools that help users interpret and plot structural data. *Structural symbols visualising the dip of a bedding plane across an area and Stereonet projection The key benefits and use cases of this toolset are outlined in the GEOVIA Blog post, entitled ‘ Extending Geology Modeling for Structural Geologists with the Surpac Structural Suite’. With the release of the GEOVIA Surpac 6.9 Structural Suite, geologists now have the capability to visualise, interpret and plot these trends.

The modelling of structural geology is often an over-looked, misunderstood and underutilised facet of the mining process, where deeper knowledge of structural trends can provide vital insights into design considerations, safety, ore genesis and structural controls on mineralisation.
