Steps
Confirm both the source and destination software support Open Mining Format (OMF) export/import, since OMF is an open, vendor-neutral 3D data exchange format developed under the Global Mining Guidelines Group's interoperability project.
Export the model (block model, surface, or point set) to OMF from the source tool rather than relying on a proprietary format conversion.
Where OMF isn't supported natively (e.g., moving directly between Vulcan/Surpac and Deswik), use Deswik's documented direct import/conversion of Vulcan and Surpac models as an alternative path.
Import the OMF (or converted) file into the destination tool and validate that block model geometry, attributes, and coordinate system carried over correctly.
For grade-estimation workflows, remember Deswik itself does not generate block models — geological models still need to originate in Leapfrog, Datamine, Vulcan, Surpac, or another modeling package before being brought into Deswik for planning.
Known gotchas
OMF adoption varies by vendor and version; always verify current support in each specific tool version rather than assuming universal compatibility across the whole mine-planning ecosystem.
Multi-vendor workflows (e.g., Leapfrog for geology, Deswik for planning) typically require licensing multiple platforms — OMF solves data exchange, not licensing/access to each tool.
