Soil profiles

 

Soil Profiles

Once boreholes are defined and 3D model in rendered, user can simply create a new soil profile (section) and specify boreholes on the profile by drag-drop from boreholes list.

Then according to the soil types and grouping of soil types (defined in Options dialogbox), similar layers are detected along profile and connected together. When there is no corresponding layer, a lens is defined and drawn by VisLog engine.

 

The following soil types are internally supported by VisLog, however user may add his/her own soil types to the library. Some of the following abbreviations come from gINT database standard.
