block-model-variable-octree-structure
The block-model-variable-octree-structure component defines the structure of a variable-octree subblocked model.
Subblocking repeatedly splits blocks along each axis until there are a maximum of n_subblocks_per_parent
subblocks. The number of splits can differ per axis, allowing anisotropic refinement — for example,
finer vertical resolution than horizontal. This is the most flexible subblocking strategy and is
well suited to models that need multi-scale resolution adapted to complex geological boundaries.
Used by: block-model.

Properties
block-model-variable-octree-structure (v1.0.0)
The structure of a variable-octree subblocked model. Subblocking is carried out by repeatedly splitting blocks along each axis, until there are a maximum of n_subblocks_per_parent subblocks. This number can be different per axis.
