Overview
Geochemistry data is visualized as cylinders, where the height and radius of each cylinder reflects the sample value.
In VRIFY Present, you can control the element, unit, and method displayed, adjust cylinder dimensions, and configure colour ranges to highlight anomalies.
Note: This article applies to VRIFY Present Beta, which includes features not available in VRIFY Present Legacy. View legacy instructions at Building 3D Presentations.
Step by Step Instructions
Note: Only files with Accepted status appear in the Objects & Files panel when building a 3D Slide. If an object or file is missing, check its status on the Files page. Learn more in Understanding Files Statuses. |
Add Geochemistry Data to a 3D Slide
In the Add Objects & Files panel, expand the Surface Geochemistry folder.
Click the + icon beside the file you want to add (for example, SOIL or TILL).
Repeat to add additional geochemistry layers.
Customize Geochemistry Data
Click a geochemistry layer in the Object Settings panel to select it and open its Properties panel.
Set a Legend Title and Subtitle
In Legend Title, enter a display name (for example, Soil).
In Legend Subtitle, enter the element or units (for example, Cd). This defaults to the file name.
Adjust Cylinder Dimensions
Use the sliders to control how the data is visualized:
Cylinder Radius — controls the diameter of each sample cylinder. Decrease to show individual sample points more clearly; increase to create a broader visual footprint.
Cylinder Height — controls the base height of the cylinder. At low values (for example, 1 m), samples appear as thin pins.
Effect Height — controls the maximum spike height. Increasing this value exaggerates value differences and makes anomalies more visible.
Select Element, Unit, and Method
Use the Element, Unit, and Method dropdowns to choose which assay column to display.
The minimum and maximum values for the selected column appear below the dropdowns. The visualization updates automatically when you change a selection.
Configure Bin Ranges
Bin ranges map value thresholds to colours in the 3D Slide. By default, a single range spans the full min–max of your data. Adding multiple ranges creates a graduated scale — for example, yellow for lower values, orange for mid-range, and red for high anomalies.
To change a bin colour, click the colour swatch next to a range, then select your desired colour.
To add a bin range, click + Add. A new range is created, splitting the existing range. Adjust the value thresholds and colours as needed.
Adding multiple bin ranges creates a graduated scale — for example, yellow for lower values, orange for mid-range, and red for high anomalies. Click Reset to return all bin ranges to the default single-range gradient. To remove a bin range, click the – icon beside it.
To remove a bin range, click the – icon beside the range you want to delete.
To reset bin ranges, click Reset to return all ranges to the default single-range gradient.
Additional Notes
To centre the view on a dataset, right-click it in the Object Settings panel and select Focus.
Object customization saves automatically. To save your initial slide view, click Save Changes in the upper right when you are finished editing.
