	%X This paper presents the result of the implementation of
a series of algorithms intended to be used for representing in most of
the 3D geographic software, even Google Earth, the subsurface
formations properties combining 2D charts or 3D plots over a 3D
background, allowing everyone to use them, no matter the economic
size of the company for which they work. Besides the existence of
complex and expensive specialized software for modeling subsurface
formations based on the same information provided to this one, the
use of this open source development shows a higher and easier
usability and good results, limiting the rendered properties and
polygons to a basic set of charts and tubes.
