Hi Gustavo;

You're certainly starting from the bottom up! For an application like this, why not take a look at GRASS? For at least part of the work? You can export your data to PostGIS when the mood strikes you.

Take a look at http://grass.itc.it/grid3d/

Alternatively, if you're determined to write a bunch of code to work in conjunction with PostGIS, maybe some of that code already exists in GRASS.

Hi all,
i want to use PostGis for geological work ( fluid diffusion,stratigraphy, boreholes, mining...). I was searching in Inet but seems there are no tools, data models,... So my alternative is to integrate different softwares with python and a database schema. Of course, i have to work with 3d geometries ( i´ve read the last thread about x3d)... the problem is to operate in a 3d environment.. I´ve got to separate visualization and operations ( make something and then visualize in browser or other software ). For example, work with geometries in a 3d draw environment then export to Postgis with Cam2Camp tools and then make some python scripts to calculate what i want ( volumes, horizontal and vertical sections, distribution of materials, grid creations,integration with numerical models... ). And all this into a defined schema to insert boreholes, geophysical, geomorphological and geochemical data and integrate all of them... I´m scared! And it´s not an easy way...
But before this, any experience?
Thanks in advance Gus
