Where appropriate, the ‘attribution of geological units will be based on the BGS Lexicon and Rock Classification Scheme code ([http://www.bgs.ac.uk/lexicon/home.html/ www.bgs.ac.uk/lexicon/home.html]; [http://www.bgs.ac.uk/bgsrcs/ www.bgs.ac.uk/bgsrcs/])’<br />
<br />
Any additional attribution needs to be separately agreed and costed.<br />
<br />
'''A standard 3D geological model consists of (or can be exported) as one or more of the following components:'''<br><br />
''DTM, downhole data (boreholes), geological coverages (geological map lines), geological cross- sections, fault outlines, fault planes, geological surfaces, geological volume shells, geological thickness maps (isopachyte maps)''<br />
<br />
'''These objects can be delivered in the following standard formats (depending Terms & Conditions):'''<br />
<br />
'''Files'''<br />
* Cross-sections (including simple legend and location map)<br />
* Boreholes (depending on confidentiality clauses) as tab separated ASCII files, Excel or AGS format<br />
* Geological unit extents or coverages as 2D ESRI shape files<br />
* Geological sections and boreholes as 3D ESRI shape files<br />
* Geological sections as maps/plans (jpeg, png, 2D PDF)<br />
* Surfaces and thickness grids as ASCII or ESRI grids<br />
* Surfaces and fault planes as triangulated meshes (GOCAD t-surf, or ASCII Indexed Triangle Mesh)<br />
* Coverages, sections and surfaces as Bentley CAD output (dgn)<br />
* Coverages, sections and surfaces in Autodesk CAD format (dxf, dwg)<br />
* Sections and boreholes as Google .kml files<br />
<br />
'''Viewers/editors'''<br />
* All objects in 3D PDF format ('''note limitation to Windows''')<br />
* DTM, boreholes, coverages, sections, surfaces and shells (for structurally non-complex models) in ''LithoFrame Viewer''<br />
* Faulted model surfaces in ''GeoCando ''or ''Geoscience Analyst ''model viewer (not yet deployed in serious projects)<br />
* Boreholes, sections and coverages in ''Groundhog Desktop ''compatible .xml (view and edit)<br />
<br />
Bespoke outputs (thematic maps, bespoke software formats) can be generated at an additional cost, '''<u>if</u>''' tested beforehand. The client will be responsible for providing full specifications of any specialised/bespoke formats, or bearing the cost of BGS investigation into the format. Any edits to the specification supplied during the course of the project will incur an additional cost.<br />
<br />
Schematic outputs, cartographically enhanced sections and 3D cartoons that require specialist cartographic/design staff need to be agreed with the client and costed appropriately. <br />
