Geological Objects Properties

This page documents the properties available for geological objects in VRGS. These properties appear in the Properties panel when an object of this type is selected.

Geobody/Geopolygon​

Properties available for Geobody/Geopolygon objects:

Geobody/Geopolygon - Dip Oriented​

Property name: Dip Oriented
Description (in app): Is the body dip or strike projected

Geobody/Geopolygon - Fill Style​

Property name: Fill Style
Description (in app): Auto: drape the fill on the surface when possible, else project. Surface: on-surface fill only. Projected: legacy extruded fill

What it does
Controls how the geopolygon fill is rendered in the Vulkan 3D view. Auto (the default) drapes the fill directly onto the outcrop surface, following the digitised outline exactly, and falls back to the classic projected fill while the surface region is being computed or where it cannot be determined. Surface shows only the on-surface fill. Projected always uses the legacy extruded fill (the outline projected along the display dip vector).

When to use it
Leave on Auto for normal facies/region mapping. Choose Projected for geobodies that intentionally project their fill onto other surfaces, or to match the legacy appearance. See the Geopolygons & Surface Fill guide for details.

Geobody/Geopolygon - Mode​

Property name: Mode
Description (in app): Uni-directional or bi-directional

Geobody/Geopolygon - Name​

Property name: Name
Description (in app): Name of identifier of this object

Geobody/Geopolygon - Facies​

Property name: Facies
Description (in app): from the Facies List

Geobody/Geopolygon - Unit​

Property name: Unit
Description (in app): The stratigraphic unit or interval the geopolygon lies in

What it does
Names the stratigraphic unit the geopolygon lies in, from the project's Units list, or the interval, from the Intervals list listed after them. A geological log through the geopolygon offers that interval's or unit's older and younger contacts as picks at the geopolygon's base and top.

When to use it
Record which unit or interval a mapped body belongs to. Apply in the Interpretations tab's Active Descriptor sets it for every selected geopolygon at once. See Geopolygons and logs.

Geobody/Geopolygon - Structural Dip​

Property name: Structural Dip
Description (in app): The structual dip of the geopolygon

Geobody/Geopolygon - Structural Azimuth​

Property name: Structural Azimuth
Description (in app): The structual dip of the geopolygon

Geobody/Geopolygon - Extrusion Dip​

Property name: Extrusion Dip
Description (in app): The dip of the display extrusion vector

Geobody/Geopolygon - Extrusion Azimuth​

Property name: Extrusion Azimuth
Description (in app): The azimuth of the display extrusion vector

Geobody/Geopolygon - Area​

Property name: Area
Description (in app): The Area of the geobody

Geobody/Geopolygon - Cross Sectional Area​

Property name: Cross Sectional Area
Description (in app): The Cross Sectional Area of the geobody corrected for the body structural orientation

Geobody/Geopolygon - Width​

Property name: Width
Description (in app): The width of the geobody corrected for the structural orientation

Geobody/Geopolygon - Height​

Property name: Height
Description (in app): The height of the geobody corrected for the structural orientation

Geobody/Geopolygon - Depth​
