additional points when Implicit modelling
I have set up a macro that imports a drillhole data update, refreshes the database and rebuilds the implicit models of our porphyries. In order to get the porphyries to build as I interpret them to be I have to add several points to drive the interpolant. To do this I create a lithology interpolant and then edit the interpolated points (adding a few positive and negative distances as in red and blue in image1),
To do this in an automated fashion I have to have the data saved to a separate file, then append them to the new interpolated distance points files, then use the attribute modelling option to model the 0 surface. It would be great if there was an option on the Build Options tab where I could select an additional points or string file that can be included into the building process, eg;
or on the Attribute modelling tab;
That way I can simply have a point or string file that contains the edits that simply get included into the modelling process - making building new edited shells simpler - especially when doing it using the macros.

I think this would be a brilliant addition to the IM tools. If possible, I would really like to see this kind of functionality added to the Lithological Modelling IM tool - skips the unnecessary process of having to rebuild in Attribute Modelling using the interpolated points from Lithological Modelling.
A DTM, by definition, cannot extrapolate beyond the outer points. You may have some points, from another source, to extend the limits of the triangulation.
Ron, something that might work for you is to create your implicit model, then do some explicit wireframing in the areas that require additional interpretation/extrapolation and save these a separate wireframe. Then in your Macros you can perform a solid intersection with your explicit and implicit wireframes. Obviously there are some cons to this method as its not as dynamic as an entirely implicit model, but it is a good way of filling the gaps.
