We develop a QGIS plugin for 3D modelling for geological data. Two main algorithms such as map2loop and LoopStructural are embedded into the QGIS front-end for both map deconstruction and 3D model to help make fast decision for exploration targets.
As the demand for advanced geological analyses and visualizations increases, the integration of three-dimensional elements within GIS platforms becomes essential. This initiative seeks to enhance the usability of existing Loop3D algorithms by leveraging recent developments and innovations within QGIS to address the complexities associated with 3D geological modelling.
In this project, a QGIS plugin has been developed to provide a user-friendly interface for exploration projects. The plugin features, include data processing and integration which incorporate field and knowledge-based geological parameters into the QGIS ecosystem. These various processes involved map deconstruction using the open-source package map2loop.
Furthermore, extensive 3D modelling calculations have been integrated using loopstructural engine to facilitate the transition to 3D geological modelling, whether conducted remotely or locally using docker technology. This project explores the evolving landscape of QGIS development, specifically targeting the enhancement of its capabilities for 3D geological modelling. Through practical applications, our work demonstrates the enhanced QGIS 3D geological modelling capabilities and their relevance in real-world scenarios.
