Lithology to Numeric Voxel

Use the Voxel > Conversions > Lithology to Numeric Voxel menu option (geogxnet.dll(Geosoft.GX.VoxUtils.ConvertThematicVoxelToNumericVoxel;Run)*), to convert an existing Lithology Voxel to a new numeric Voxel.

Lithology to Numeric Voxel dialog options

Input lithology voxel

Select the voxel file to be converted.

Script Parameter: TRANSLATE_THEMATIC.INPUT_VOXEL

Output numeric voxel

Specify the name of the numeric voxel file to generate.

Script Parameter: TRANSLATE_THEMATIC.OUTPUT_VOXEL

Lithology table

Browse to select the lithology file (*.csv).

Script Parameter: TRANSLATE_THEMATIC.THEME_FILE

Output property

Specify the property to use in the conversion.

Script Parameter: TRANSLATE_THEMATIC.OUTPUT_PROPERTY

Application Notes

*The GX tool will search in the "...\Geosoft\Desktop Applications \gx" folder. The GX.Net tools, however, are embedded in the geogxnet.dll located in the "...\Geosoft\Desktop Applications \bin" folder. If running this GX interactively, bypassing the menu, first change the folder to point to the "bin" folder, then supply the GX.Net tool in the specified format.

Input Voxel

The input voxel must be a lithology (thematic) voxel.

Output Voxel

The resultant voxel has a data type of FLOAT.

Lithology Table

The lithology table must be a valid comma separated values (CSV) file and must have a lithology classification field named "Code", as well as a field containing the numerical values to assign to each code.

Output Property

The output property must be a numeric field in the lithology table.

If a 3D Viewer is open when running the conversion, the output numeric voxel will be displayed in the 3D Viewer window.
Otherwise, the output voxel will be displayed into a new Voxel Viewer window.

  • If the output voxel does not display, open the Advanced Settings dialog (Project > Settings >  Advanced), and under the Voxel Settings section, check if the Display Created Voxels option is set to "True".
