What is the LithoFrame Viewer?
The LithoFrame Viewer is a software tool which enables you to view and query complex 3D geological models constructed by the BGS. It was developed jointly by the BGS and INSIGHT Geologische Softwaresysteme: GmbH using the GSI3D 3D modelling platform – www.gsi3d.org.uk.
The software enables you to view 3D geological models in a GIS‐style interface, presenting spatial and three‐dimensional data in terms of maps, logs, cross‐sections (profiles) and also 3D. The LithoFrame Viewer presents pre‐built 3D geological models as provided by the BGS. These data files are delivered in a proprietary, encrypted format, and can be opened in the Viewer just as one would open a document in a word processing application. The LithoFrame Viewer does not enable you to incorporate, view or model your own geological data, nor to edit, modify or export existing data.
The LithoFrame Viewer is designed to be used easily by both experts and by casual users; it is not specialist software. It provides a simple interface to investigate and query 3D geological models in meaningful ways.
