Video Tutorial “code-along”: Faults

This tutorial demonstrates step-by-step how to add faults to our geological models created with gempy. It follows the Video tutorial series available on the [gempy YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@GemPy3D). Please follow the first part of the tutorial to learn the basics of modeling with gempy before diving into this tutorial.

Video tutorial faults: Introduction

The first video introduces the concept of modeling faults with GemPy - please view online before starting the tutorial.

# ***Warning***: In the following section we will make several changes to the existing model. This includes adding new elements, groups, surface points and orientation and reordering the structural frame. Executing these cells more than once can lead to errors as things will be added twice.
