This is an impressive feat and those who use Dynamic Shells say this is the best thing about the recent versions of Gems. What Geovia has been able to do is compress conventional block models into very small objects that take up little space. Consumers would be well-advised to look into Geovia’s claims before they open their wallets. Some of my contacts who use Geovia products (Gems and Surpac) have confirmed that, despite Geovia’s marketing language and spin, Dynamic Shells is NOT based on the implicit method of modelling-as I had suspected. There are six compelling reasons why Micromine’s implicit modelling software should be successful.Īll these reasons are equally important, but before I get to them, I’ll briefly comment on ‘Dynamic Shells’ from Gemcom (now Geovia), following up on an earlier post about that software. Those who are only occasional users of Leapfrog will finally have a choice other than ARANZ Geo products and I predict that many will choose Micromine’s product over Leapfrog software. For the consumer (especially the Micromine user who is also a current Leapfrog user), these are exciting times. What I saw was quite impressive, so I asked myself: Will Micromine’s implicit modeller be a market winner? From what I saw, I expect it will be popular, but only time will tell. Micromine invited me to their office and gave me a preview of their implicit modelling product before its release.
