Highlights

Key improvements in this release:

  • Arbitrary cross-section — project seismic onto section

  • Improved borehole data loading and handling

  • Log Viewer fully rebuilt

  • Improved seismic interpretation

  • Raster Calculator — mathematical operations on raster layers

  • Metadata manager implemented

  • Overall improvements in user interface and performance

Cross-Sections & Spatial Accuracy

  • A new “Set Cross Section” button on the toolbar lets the user select any feature in the map to set it as the cross-section geometry for the current 2D window.

  • Display intersecting grids and project seismic data from nearest seismic lines as well as geotechnical data onto this generic cross section.

  • If “Set Cross Section” is selected when right-clicking on a feature in the Ground Model Table of Contents (TOC), the feature’s geometry will be used as cross-section geometry for the current 2D window.

  • Various improvements to cross section window settings provide more control over display and configuration.

  • Seismic data and other features are now visible in cross-section views that use geographic coordinate systems (e.g. WGS84/degrees).

  • Buffer zones around feature-defined cross-section lines are also now correctly sized in these systems.

  • Buffer corridors now terminate with flat, perpendicular cuts rather than rounded ends.

  • Distances, axis tick labels, and buffer units now automatically reflect the project's spatial reference (metres, feet, etc.) without manual adjustment.

  • Surface intersection lines in the Cross Section Viewer now display the correct colour with a black outline for improved clarity.

AGS Scanner & Import

  • Loading AGS borehole data is significantly faster with substantially reduced memory usage, improving performance on large datasets

  • AGS Import now reports whether the borehole elevation column contains all-positive, all-negative, or mixed values, and lets you choose to keep or flip the sign before importing.

  • A new Skip borehole option allows boreholes with missing survey coordinates to be skipped rather than cancelling the entire import. Remaining valid boreholes are imported successfully.

  • Boreholes with missing survey coordinates are now consistently detected during both the scan and the import steps.

  • Select files to include — A new “Include” checkbox column lets you pick exactly which files to import or merge, rather than acting on a single selected file

  • Multi-file import with Merge or Separate mode — When two or more files are checked, the import dialog lets you choose between Separate mode (one set of tables per file) or Merge mode (one combined set of tables under a shared project prefix), defaulting to Merge

  • Smart project prefix — The “Project / table prefix” field is pre-filled from the longest common filename prefix across your checked files, falling back to the parent folder name if no common prefix exists

  • Save Merged AGS — A new toolbar button lets you write the combined result of all checked files to a single .ags file without importing it into the project. It fully validates that all checked files share the same schema and have no duplicate LOCA_IDs before writing

  • Pre-import data validation — AGS files are now scanned for malformed DATA rows before import begins. Rows with missing fields prompt a skip-or-cancel choice, giving you full control over how data quality issues are handled before any data is written

  • Improved import progress and reporting — The import dialog has been redesigned with aligned controls, and import progress now displays per-table line counts alongside a summary report at the end

  • Improved file list controls — New explicit Remove Selected, Clear All, and Scan Selected buttons make the workflow clearer. Clicking a file row now simply selects it without triggering a scan

  • Better error surfacing — TYPE-row column-count mismatches against the HEADING row are now detected, and parse errors during scanning appear as messages rather than crashing ArcGIS Pro

  • The AGS Scanner now closes automatically when its associated map is closed.

  • The scanner title updates correctly if the map is renamed.

  • The Preview Selection button in the AGS Scanner is disabled until at least one LOCA ID is checked, preventing empty previews.

CSV & LAS Import

  • The CSV Import pane is now available from the CSV Import Button in the Ground Model toolbar.

  • A new Rows tab lets you override the header row, unit row, data start/end, and comment-line prefix — with content-preview combos and an Apply button that re-scans the file. A summary line shows the current classification result. For large files that the scanner samples, the Last data row field now reports the file's actual last data row rather than being capped at the sampling preview window.

  • A new Columns tab manages coordinate assignment. X and Y are mandatory fields — you must select a column or choose Manual. Z still allows None.

  • A new Preamble tab lets you select a key-value separator (Colon, Equals, Comma, or Whitespace) and define a start/stop row range, making it straightforward to import files where the preamble uses Key: Value lines while the data body is comma-delimited.

  • The Raw tab now includes a Format columns button that aligns file content with tab separators for easier reading. First and last data row fields are pre-filled with detected values after each scan.

  • CSV Import can now create grouped multipoint, polyline, and polygon outputs. Binary LiDAR LAS files are clearly reported as unsupported when grouped geometry is selected.

  • Feature classes imported from CSV files now correctly display their vertical unit and domain in the Metadata Manager instead of showing Undefined.

  • The Import tab now shows two titled panels side by side: an output coordinate preview on the left and the import target on the right. The Import and Map Preview buttons have moved from the top toolbar into the right panel, directly below the geodatabase and feature class pickers.

  • Feature classes imported from LAS files now correctly display their vertical unit and domain in the Metadata Manager.

  • A substantially redesigned Well Info tab gives full control over how well identity, coordinates, and elevation are resolved before import.

  • A dedicated well name picker has been added. The Well-ID field no longer auto-defaults to the WELL mnemonic — you must explicitly choose a unique identifier such as UWI or API before importing.

  • The Cancel button now works during the parse phase of large LAS files.

  • Clicking Import when multiple validation problems exist now shows a single bulleted report listing all issues at once — consistent across both CSV and LAS panes.

  • The ArcGIS Pro Messages dock pane now shows lifecycle log lines for every scan and import operation, including row counts, anomaly counts, and blocker categories.

  • Re-importing wells or CSV files no longer triggers mid-import prompts. A new Overwrite existing tables checkbox on both pane toolbars lets you decide up front whether to drop existing destinations — the default is to skip silently. The post-import summary now includes a deduplication ledger.

  • The LAS import pane displays the same telemetry information available during CSV import, giving a consistent view of import activity without switching between panels.

Well Log Registration

  • A new batch tool on the Logs palette registers many log feature classes against a wells feature class in a single pass. It reads well identity from companion metadata tables created by the CSV and LAS importers, performs an upfront validation scan so you can review what will happen before committing, and optionally moves each log onto its matched well location.

  • The tool suggests a Well Id for both CSV and LAS logs, and is laid out as a clear scan-first sequence with later steps shown but disabled until a scan has been completed. Pressing Scan no longer clears any well-id mapping already selected.

  • A single multi-select Browse button replaces the previous multi-step source picker. The tool no longer asks you to manually map X, Y, and Elevation columns — well locations are taken directly from the log geometry for new wells, or from the existing well record.

  • A new Assign log X,Y from well option sets the log feature class coordinates from the well's location, useful for CSV logs imported without spatial coordinates. This option reliably clears itself after each successful apply and displays a warning if the target feature class has no coordinate system defined.

  • Re-registering an already-attached log to a different well is blocked, and the message explicitly names the well the log is currently attached to.

Well Location and Elevation

  • A new Populate Well Feature Class tool, available in the Logs menu, fills an existing well feature class from a source feature class by mapping WellId and WellName columns and copying X/Y/Z coordinates. A confirmation step is shown when reprojection between coordinate systems is required.

  • Well location points now carry elevation as a Z value, sourced from the well header, LAS files, or the Register Well Log workflow, so wells display at their correct depth and height in 3D scenes.

  • Newly created well feature classes (well-header and _Logs layers) are now created as 3D feature classes, storing an elevation value for each well location.

  • A path-resolution bug that previously prevented any Adjust Z run from succeeding against valid inputs has been resolved.

Borehole Processing

  • A new Adjust Z command is available in the Logs palette. It calibrates borehole Z values against a reference surface raster and writes adjusted copies to an existing target geodatabase, replacing the previous AdjustAGSDepth workflow.

  • Adjust Z accepts any borehole-log layer type — AGS _LOCA feature classes, wells header feature classes with _Logs companions, or standalone log feature classes with Z geometry. An inline info line confirms which input case was detected before you press Run.

  • The target geodatabase can be selected via the standard ArcGIS Pro item browser. The Messages list shows a [DONE] confirmation on success or full error details on failure.

  • Output workspaces are clean — spurious feature classes and stray relationship classes no longer appear alongside the intended output.

Log Viewer

  • New look and feel — Light/dark theme toggle, cleaner layout, and consistent discrete color assignment across sessions

  • Crosshair cursor - A full crosshair now spans all data tracks simultaneously, making it easy to read your position across all channels at a glance. A toolbar dropdown lets you control whether the vertical line appears in all channels, only the current one, or not at all

  • Drag-to-edit clip ranges — Clip boundaries are now shown as visible guidelines inside each channel. Hover over a boundary to highlight it, then drag to reposition it live

  • Consistent curve colors — Same-named curves share the same color across all boreholes. A new “Group by” option lets you cluster curves by column name

  • Richer surface intersection labels — Surface intersection lines now display the surface name, vertical domain, and unit directly above each line — for example, “Top Chalk (depth, m)” — making it easy to tell apart surfaces with similar names across different domains. Labels are clipped to each borehole’s columns so long names don’t spill into neighbouring boreholes. Hovering over a truncated label shows the full text as a tooltip, so no information is lost in narrow log channels

  • Clearer toolbar controls — Old single-letter buttons replaced with labeled dropdowns (“Vertical axis” and “Curve scale”) with descriptive option text

  • Instant surface intersections — Surface intersection lines now appear immediately when checking a raster in the Ground Model Table of Contents, even when the Log Viewer is already open

  • Toggling AGS curves while the Log Viewer is active no longer causes unintended changes to the 3D/2D scene

  • The Domain filter in the info bar is now hidden when the Log Viewer is the active window.

  • The Settings menu item for log curves is now greyed out while a Log Viewer window is active.

Seismic Workflows

  • SEG-Y import now generates 8 levels of detail (LOD) by default instead of 4, improving rendering performance when working with large seismic volumes.

  • The automated horizon tracking algorithm is now more accurate and reliable.

  • The mode previously called "No Autotracking" has been renamed to Manual for improved clarity.

  • Undo and redo operations now correctly refresh the interpretation display.

  • Interpretation results can now be exported to ASCII format for use in external workflows and data exchange.

  • Seismic interpretation import now supports a By Feature matching mode, allowing polyline features to be imported with either Single or Multi Feature control.

  • Attempting to run interpretation on a 3D seismic source in the web client now displays a clear error message rather than silently failing.

  • SEG-Y files located in folders with Chinese or other non-Latin characters in their path now scan and import correctly, instead of failing silently or producing errors.

  • A new Update Seismic URL tool makes it possible to update seismic feature class URLs directly from the Ground Model toolbar.

Analysis & Data

  • A full Raster Calculator has been implemented, enabling mathematical expressions and operations directly on raster layers within the Ground Model environment.

Navigation & Interface

  • The Ground Model TOC has been split into two panels, an upper feature class panel and a lower panel displaying the individual features. This makes data easier to locate and reduces unnecessary scrolling. For wells and boreholes, the lower panel will also be split vertically, showing the groups to the left and available logs to the right.

  • A new built-in search field allows quick lookup of entries in the TOC — especially useful in large, complex Ground Models.

  • Action buttons in the Ground Model Viewer have been moved to the bottom ribbon for a cleaner, more consistent layout.

  • New bidirectional zoom controls synchronize views between windows:

    • Zoom map to match the current 3D window extent

    • Zoom 3D window to match the current map extent

  • The map now follows the cursor position in the 3D viewer in real time, making it easier to cross-reference locations between views.

  • The Help button now opens the updated GitHub Pages documentation site.

  • Selections made in the map are now reflected across all Ground Model windows and the TOC.

  • Users can filter the TOC by the current selection for focused navigation.

  • A new Selection Only toggle filters the TOC to show only map-selected items.

  • The filter clears automatically when the selection is removed.

  • Cursor coordinates in the info bar now show the correct unit, decimal precision, and cardinal direction for the active coordinate system.

  • The along-track distance in the info bar now correctly displays in feet when the scene uses a foot-based coordinate system.

  • The depth label in the info bar correctly reflects whether the axis represents Time or Depth, along with its corresponding unit.

3D View & Performance

  • The 3D view now renders on demand rather than continuously, significantly reducing CPU and GPU usage when the viewer is idle.

  • Switching between the 3D view, 2D cross-section, and log viewer is now significantly faster due to fewer redundant feature-layer queries.

  • Panning and zooming in the 3D view now work correctly at close range.

  • Raster and seismic layers now load instantly on first display, eliminating the brief freeze that previously occurred.

  • After performing depth conversion or other data-modifying operations, affected features are immediately removed from the 3D viewer and the Table of Contents reflects the current feature set — no additional interaction required.

  • The 3D viewer now automatically zooms to fit the first dataset when it is displayed into an empty view.

  • Zoom to object in 3D now correctly applies the configured zoom-out factor and supports non-animated zooming.

  • The log cursor label is now smaller, uses the application font, and no longer shimmers when panning in 3D or cross-section views.

  • New high resolution dynamic wind turbine symbology

  • Ocean waves are now visible regardless of the coordinate system in use, including lat/lon scenes. Flat rasters no longer flicker or show through the ocean surface due to Z-fighting.

  • Raster layers with RGBA source data rendered as 3-band RGB now correctly display transparent pixels instead of rendering them as black.

Metadata Manager

  • A Metadata Manager has been implemented. This is available from the toolbar and will let the user define vertical domain and unit for the different data types.

  • Domain and unit are now shown in separate columns directly beside each feature class entry in the TOC.

  • Sortable columns - Click any column header to sort the dataset list, making it easier to locate and organise entries in large projects

  • The Metadata tab now shows the Unit field at the top, and Domain is set automatically to match the chosen unit, preventing depth/time mismatches during import.

  • Automatic vertical domain — The Vertical Domain field is no longer manually editable — it is now derived automatically from the assigned unit, reducing the chance of inconsistent entries

  • Scan progress indicator — The Metadata Manager now shows a progress indicator while scanning, so you can see when the scan is running rather than waiting with no feedback

  • Instant selection updates — The “Used by” list now refreshes immediately whenever you change your selection

  • Bulk editing — Domain and unit can now be edited across multiple selected entries at the same time

  • Remove unused entries — Unused metadata entries can now be deleted via a right-click context menu, keeping your metadata clean and manageable

Seismic Scanner

  • The Seismic Scanner now supports both SEG-Y, VDS and ZGY formats.

  • The Seismic Scanner now displays a warning when a VDS file without SEG-Y trace headers is opened, rather than silently showing empty values.

  • Trace headers can now be exported to CSV or copied to clipboard directly from the Seismic Scanner.

  • The SEG-Y Scanner now reports correct statistics — including trace count, coordinate extents, and inline/crossline ranges — when a VDS file is loaded.

  • The SEG-Y Scanner now validates byte positions before allowing import, preventing incomplete or malformed imports.

Depth Conversion

  • In-place overwrite — Depth-converting an existing seismic or raster dataset can now overwrite it directly. Map layers remain valid after conversion and the old seismic display is cleared automatically from the viewer

  • Re-running depth conversion to overwrite an existing local VDS file no longer fails with a file-lock or chunk-read error.

  • Automatic domain tracking — Depth conversion now reads the vertical domain (time or depth) from the input and carries it through to the output, so downstream tools always know what they’re working with

  • Selection-aware conversion — Only selected features are processed when an active selection is present, removing the need to filter or duplicate your dataset first

  • Output loads automatically — The converted layer is added to your map on completion, no manual loading required

  • Domain mismatch protection — Seismic interpretation now checks that the interpretation layer and target seismic line share the same vertical domain before allowing picks, blocking mismatched combinations with a clear error

  • Seismic feature classes no longer appear in the Feature Class source list or the Seabed Data picker, preventing incompatible data types from being selected as input.

  • Depth-converted 2D seismic lines now carry the correct SEGY trace headers and binary header from the original survey. Toggling a layer after an overwrite conversion also now displays the data correctly.

  • Running a depth conversion no longer incorrectly overwrites the seabed input feature class type to Raster in the Metadata Manager.

2D/3D Viewer

  • Domain filtering — A new Domain selector in the viewer toolbar lets you filter your view to show only Time- or Depth-domain layers. When a seismic defines the cross-section, the selector automatically limits options to compatible domains

  • The Zoom To action is now available for both 2D and 3D seismic data in the cross-section viewer, correctly centering the camera on the full horizontal extent and depth/time range.

  • Line and point features in the 2D cross-section view can now be correctly selected by clicking.

  • The Measure tool no longer fails when calculating distances in the cross-section window.

  • Screenshots of the 2D cross-section view now correctly capture seismic content at high resolutions. When the chosen resolution exceeds the supported maximum, the Take Screenshot button is disabled and a warning is displayed.

Charting and Deliverables

  • Support for Map Series index polygons allows structured map output across defined spatial extents

  • Table of Contents layer checkboxes are restored to their original visibility state after each screenshot, preventing unintended layer state changes across a sequence of captures.

  • Seismic tiles are now pre-fetched at the correct resolution for the target screenshot dimensions, ensuring output images are rendered at the expected level of detail.

  • Multi-screenshot in 3D views now correctly cleans up between items, waits for seismic data to render at full resolution, and captures geometry at the intended camera position.

  • The Multi-screenshot tool now correctly saves polygon geometry when using Map Series Index Polygons as input. Saving output to an existing feature class no longer fails when the geometry type does not match.

Dark Mode & Theming

  • The entire Ground Model add-in now follows the active ArcGIS Pro theme automatically, including full support for dark mode.

Stability

  • General stability improvements across the entire Ground Model add-in

Known Bugs

  • When a project is closed with a selection active, this selection is still active when repoening. However, the selection only option is greyed out in the Ground Model Table of Contents.

Ground Model 2.2.9

Release date: 09.03.2026

  • SEG-Y Scanner now supports IBM floating-point format, a legacy encoding found in older SEG-Y datasets.

Bug fixes

  • SEG-Y import: coordinates from byte positions 73/77 were stored with 32-bit precision instead of 64-bit, causing rounding errors that produced a staircase stepping pattern in seismic line geometry.

  • SEG-Y import: incorrect ensemble numbers when using the auto-generate option.

  • Raster to interpretation: disconnected raster patches were incorrectly connected with straight lines. Breaks between segments are now preserved.

Ground Model 2.2.8

Release date: 02.02.2026

This is the first release that also supports ArcGIS Pro 3.6.

Support for file-based token licensing is added. Licenses can be bound to a specific machine and carry an explicit expiry date. This enables license distribution in restricted environments without a network connection.

  • Geocap sends token to client

  • Client opens Pro -> Project -> Options -> Application -> Geocap Ground Model and browses in the token file

  • Restart Pro

  • In the Message pane a confirmation will appear that the file was read.

Ground Model 2.2.5

Release date: 19.11.2025

  • Only ArcGIS Pro 3.3 and newer is supported (the .net 8 series)

  • Added support for seismic interpretation with geometry type points.

  • Added support for multi-screen shot of seismic interpretation with geometry type points.

  • New tool Register Well Logs allows you register a point feature class as a well log.

The following functionality has been implemented in this release:

Screen Shot:

  • A new dock pane for capturing Geocap viewer windows screenshots.

  • Configure cross-section layout, including axis parameters, in screenshot.

  • Screenshots can be saved as files or stored as attachments in a feature class.

  • When stored with a feature class, screenshots integrate very well with ArcGIS Pro Map Series.

  • Support for batch generation: Create screenshots of multiple seismic features or multiple seismic interpretations in a feature class. ArcGIS Pro selection is honored,providing precise control over feature inclusion

  • This release supports ArcGIS Pro 3.5

Ground Model 2.2.1

Release date: 27.03.2025

This release contains several new features and improvements. An upgrade is recommended.

Domain Conversion

  • Support for domain conversion of more data types: VDS files (2D seismic), Seismic Feature Classes (2D seismic), generic feature classes, and rasters can now be converted between time and depth.

  • Improved user interface: Selecting input data is now easier—users can choose data directly from the map instead of browsing for files on disk.

  • Automatic output handling: The output from domain conversion is now automatically added to the current map.

Seismic Interpretation

  • New Dock Pane: Seismic interpretation has been moved to a dedicated Dock Pane.

  • Import interpretation points (for example from Kingdom) and edit these.

  • Improved Undo/Redo support for seismic interpretation editing.

  • Shortcut keys added for seismic interpretation.

  • Enhanced user experience: Users can now seamlessly switch between interpretation modes, interpretation features, and seismic lines during interpretation.

  • Multi-Feature Interpretation: Added support for interpreting multiple features per seismic line.

SEG-Y to VDS Import

  • A new Analyze button automatically scans for suitable choices for the most common byte positions

AGS

  • A new AGS Scanner has been added. Some features include:

    • Preview raw contents of the AGS file

    • Import to feature classes. This replaces the previous GP tool for AGS import with a more performant version.

    • Easily add hundreds of AGS files by adding a folder

    • Preview log data straight from the file - no need to import

    • Scan for common errors

Other Improvements

  • Raster display: Mosaic data is now supported.

  • Seismic 2D window: Geometry extrude and Z-value override settings are now supported for feature display.

  • Geocap Viewer: Features now inherit their initial symbology from the map.

  • UI improvements of viewer settings panels

  • Update icons and toolbar layout

Toolbox

  • The toolbox has been simplified - many tools now have Pro-native alternatives that offer improved performance and flexibility. These can be found in the Ground Model toolbar.

Ground Model 2.1.32

Release date: 27.01.2025

This is a bugfix release. An upgrade is recommended.

The following issues are fixed in this release:

  • A break in backward-compatibility between different versions of various programming libraries and ArcGIS. This only applies if you are running a version of ArcGIS Pro older than 3.4. This would lead to general instability and crashes in particular when converting SEGY to VDS.

  • The SEGY to VDS import would by default set the Delay Rec Time value size to be 4 bytes instead of 2. This would lead to the wrong delay rec time values read for SEG-Y files that had a non-zero value for mute time (somewhat uncommon).

Ground Model 2.1.31

Release date: 16.12.2024

This release contains bugfixes and various improvements. An upgrade is recommended.

  • Added support for ArcGIS Pro 3.4

  • Bugfix in Seismic interpretation from Raster Tool

  • Raster intersection in 2D viewer on seismic with many traces now works again.

  • Added support to set byte offset of Vertical offsets (= Delay rec time) for Segy to VDS import

  • Bugfix on depth convert of VDS files. Using velocity model with seismic interpretation poly lines now works again.

  • AGS Log Reader now provides an option to enforce the sign of the ground level column (LOCA_GL) to be negative. You should use this when reading subsurface AGS logs. The AGS standard does not mandate which sign to use for the ground level values, so some files have positive ground level values also for logs below sea level. Note that when using the Adjust to Depth tool the Z values are recalculated based on the provided surface, not the ground level in the file.

  • Improved LAS Log Reader to better detect X Y location in metadata.

Ground Model 2.1.27

Release date 23.10.2024

This release has numerous bugfixes and an upgrade is recommended.

New features:

  • Support for seconds of arcs when reading SEG-Y files. When the coordinate unit flag (byte pos 89) has a value of 2 both the SEG-Y scanner and the SEG-Y to VDS import panel will assume the coordinates are seconds of arc and will transform the coordinates accordingly.

  • The SEG-Y to VDS import panel now has the byte positions for coordinates labelled plainly as X and Y

  • The Adjust AGS Depth tool now handles columns with missing coordinates

Ground Model 2.1.26

Release date 16.09.2024

  • Cloud Browser now supports listing of a single bucket. When creating the connection choose Single Bucket in the Bucket List Option and enter the name of the bucket.

  • SEG-Y Scanner

    • The scanner will now be created from the current map. This map will automatically be used for map interactions, such as map preview. If the map is closed the scanner is closed too.

    • The scanner now supports showing intersections with surfaces in the map. To use this ensure that the settings in the Coordinate Settings group are set correctly along with any Delay Rec Times settings in the Samples viewer, then choose Show surface intersections in the Display tab in the samples viewer.

    • Scanner set back to manual seismic dimension (2D/3D) selector - no attempt at auto detection

    • Performance improvements

  • AGS reader works for Pro 3.3

  • Improved support for dark theme mode in Pro

  • Delayed loading of GM viewer window removes error message when opening a new GM viewer

Ground Model 2.1.23

Release date 03.09.2024

  • Support for depth conversion of seismic VDS files

    • Depth conversion of VDS files will now result in files with similar size as input

    • Depth conversion of VDS is now much faster.

  • It is now possible to scale the delay recording time by a constant value when converting SEG-Y to VDS

  • Bugfix in seismic 2D view in PRO. The display of window extent and cursor will now display correctly after change of spatial reference.

  • Added support for Custom Spatial reference without wkid in Geocap View windows. (distance measurement is not supported for custom spatial reference)

  • Display of VDS files will now take Vertical Offsets from Delay rec Time into account, and display at correct depth.

  • Improved display of 2D seismic. Data reading is now done in a normal “non queued” task. This makes the data fetching faster + does not disable GUI when reading data.

    • More displayed data in 3D window will now have a right click meny (Added support for getting TocItemId for more display types in 3D window.)

  • Support for SEG-Y to NetCDF conversion

  • SEGY-Scanner

    • Shared settings like spatial reference and byte positions that are used by different parts of the scanner has been moved to a dedicated section called Coordinate Settings

    • Support for different color tables

    • Support 3D inlines in samples viewer

    • A check for whether a SEGY file is 2D or 3D. Note that this is not foolproof - a user should confirm that the correct choice is made.

    • Support live trace outlines of 3D volumes

    • Samples viewer has a zero-centered slider for simultaneously moving both min/max sliders

    • Improved dark theme support

    • The vertical axis will always display in ms or meter

    • If used, delay rec time intervals will be displayed in a separate color

  • AGS Log reader

    • The reader will now examine the various TOP/BASE-like columns for actual data values. If no data is found, that column is skipped and other depth columns will be used instead. SPECIMEN top/base columns are given priority, then SAMPLE top/base columns. The exact top/bottom names will vary somewhat from table to table.

    • AGS log reader supports the creation of relationship classes connection the LOCA_ID column of each table to the LOCA_ID column of the LOCA table. Using the attribute table it is then possible to easily navigate between a row in a data table to the corresponding LOCA_ID row in the LOCA table

Ground Model 2.1.19

Release date 24.06.2024

New features:

  • Support for ArcGIS Pro 3.3.

  • Azure support is now working.

  • The web client is now embedded in the addin. It is no longer dependant on remote html or JS files.

  • Seismic data can be displayed in a new Cross Section Viewer by choosing Display in directly from TOC item's context menu.

  • There is now an improved method of creating a seismic feature class : Click the SEG-Y to VDS button and click Create Seismic Feature Class. This method provides a significant performance improvement compared to using the GP-tool version.

  • You can copy a seismic feature class together with its referred VDS files by clicking the SEG-Y to VDS button and clicking Copy VDS Feature class. This tool will not only copy the feature class but also ensure that the VDS file referred to in the feature class are copied to the new location, which may be local file system or cloud.  

  • Right click on the displayed data (ei. seismic line, 3D cube, etc.) in 3D Scene opens context menu

  • Show in TOC context menu option (mentioned in previous bullet point), leads to a short blink of this element in the TOC

  • SEG-Y file navigation only can now be imported. This is done in the SEG-Y scanner.

  • Seismic amplitudes can optionally be imported in combination with the navigation as rasters in TIF, PNG or JPG formats.

  • SEG-Y scanner

    • Now has preview for various Delay Rec time methods constant and as read from byte position 109, including scaling.

    • Added samples/amplitudes viewer to the SEGY scanner

    • Supports depth unit as well as time units in the sample viewer

Bugfixes

  • Fixed bug that caused the Z axis to be misaligned in the cross section viewer

  • Min/Max inputs of a borehole will be applied after clicking OK button in settings panel. Clicking an apply button is not required in this case.
