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 pass validation and data quality checks in VRIFY Prepare.

Geology data is organized into four subfolders, each with its own workflow. 2D Geological & Structural Mapping follows a validation and data quality workflow. 3D Objects follows a workflow that includes validation, conversion, and data quality steps. Geology Photos and Geology PDFs & Sections are published directly without validation.


Prepare and Upload Data

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

Subfolder

Preferred Formats

2D Geological & Structural Mapping

.shp (four required file types: .shp, .shx, .dbf, .prj)

3D Objects

.dxf, .dwg, .nwd

Geology Photos

.jpg, .png

Geology PDFs & Sections

.pdf
