Validate and Publish Geology Data

Learn how to validate and publish Geology data in VRIFY Prepare so it is available for use in VRIFY Present.

Overview

Before Geology data can be added to a 3D Slide in VRIFY Present, it must first be validated in VRIFY Prepare.

Geology data is organized into four subfolders, each with its own workflow. 2D Geological & Structural Mapping and 3D Objects follow a Validate and Publish workflow. For 3D Objects, validation also converts the file to a usable format. Image files in Geology Photos and Geology PDFs & Sections follow the same Validate and Publish workflow. PDF files are published directly without validation.

Prepare and Upload Data

Upload and sort your files into the correct subfolders in Files before starting this workflow.

See Upload Files to VRIFY.
