Capabilities

What the full program does

Stereonet & rose diagrams

Poles, great circles, density contours, Fisher statistics, 2D and 3D views, exported as PDF or PNG.

LiDAR processing

Load several point clouds at once, strip vegetation, extract bare-earth terrain and lineaments.

3D terrain & coordinates

3D box with coordinate labels in any reference system, including UTM.

Structural measurement

Compass, ruler and fault-plane measurement tools with symbols anchored to the terrain.

Fold & fault workflow

Fold plunge and hinge, fault plane, movement sense and displacement parameters.

Imagery for structural studies

Satellite basemaps and Sentinel-2 / DEM retrieval for structural interpretation.

Fracture network & blocks

Discrete fracture network generation, block building and stability checks.

Built from fieldwork

Developed on real datasets

DFN Block Builder grew out of our fracture-network and LiDAR work on the Jos Plateau. It is designed for geologists who need structural results without stitching several tools together.
