New features
End-length Control on Numeric Compositing
The numeric compositing tools in Leapfrog Geo 4.1 have new options for handling residual segments. It is
now possible to add an end-segment to the previous interval, distribute the remainder equally along the hole
or within the domain, or discard it, depending on the specified minimum length.

Stereonet in 3D
Visualise a stereonet in the 3D scene to aid the discovery of trends, relationships and geological structures.
Position the stereonet beside structural measurements, form surfaces and other modelling data to get a
different perspective on how the structures relate to the surrounding data. For example, align the view with
the intersection of two planes, along the intersection line, to discover potential fold hinges and ore-shoots.

Two-way Structural Data Selection

When structural data points are displayed and categorised on a stereonet, the data is also displayed in the
3D scene. Structural data can either be selected in the stereonet or in the scene. Initiate a structural
selection in the stereonet and continue your selection in the scene. This flexibility maximises the stereonet-
scene interaction and optimises structural data analysis.

Improved Statistics on Block Models

Statistics have been improved on block models and sub-blocked models. Multiple interpolant values within
each lithology of a geological model can now be compared, and rows can be grouped by category or
numeric. Additional statistics such as total volume and coefficient of variation have been included.

Ignore Duplicate Points
When fixing errors on points tables, all duplicates can be quickly ignored using a single-click. This will
ignore all but the first row when multiple rows share the same coordinates.

Improved Copy of Section Layouts

The workflow for copying layouts between cross sections has been enhanced to facilitate batch copying of a
layout onto multiple cross-sections at once.
 Page 6
Batch Export Serial Section Layouts
Export multiple layouts from a serial section. Layouts can either be exported as a single PDF file, or individual
PDF, SVG, PNG and GeoTIFF files, which can then be combined into a single zip.

Reload Polylines
Polylines created in other Leapfrog projects or software packages can now be reloaded. Latest changes will
dynamically update all dependent objects.

Add Columns to Points and Structural Data

Imported points, structural data and lineations can now support importing of new column data.
 Page 7
Copy points
Points objects may now be copied within the project. This workflow is useful when testing different settings
and scenarios.

Copy meshes
To further facilitate testing different settings and scenarios, create copies of all mesh types in the Meshes
folder.

Value Filter for Meshes

Value filters now work with evaluations on meshes, filtering displayed triangles according to the min / max
settings. This workflow can be used to focus on an area of interest, for example, to visualise areas such as
a steeply dipping slope of a pit wall or a high value area of an interpolant evaluated on a pit-shell or fault
plane.

Comments on Subfolders
Leapfrog Geo now supports comments for subfolders for improved project tree organisation and project
auditability.

Viewing Out-of-Date Objects

In previous versions of Leapfrog, it has not been possible to view objects in the scene while they are in the
processing queue waiting to be processed. It is now possible to view these out-of-date objects while they are
queued as these objects will remain in the scene until they start being processed. Out-of-date objects waiting
to be processed are displayed in the project tree with their names greyed out.

View Geological Models as a Single Object

To improve the organisation of the shape list, geological models now appear as a single object. This makes
it easier to work with complex geological models. The visibility of individual volumes is controlled using the
Edit Colours option.

Numeric Models Folder

The terminology for specific project tree items have been revised. The Interpolant Folder is now renamed the
Numeric Models folder. Numeric, indicator and multi domained Interpolants are now referred to as RBF
interpolants, indicator RBF interpolants and multi domained RBF interpolants.

Open Mining Format

Leapfrog Geo 4.1 supports import and export of Global Mining Standards & Guidelines Groups file
interchange format: Open Mining Format v0.9. This facilitates interoperability with the other software
packages in the mining industry.
