OpenGround - Locations Manager

Command: HBSI_LocationManager

From the OpenGround Cloud ribbon click Locations to display the dialog box.

Use the Location Manager to specify which hole locations and elements to display. For each location the plan symbol or 3D borehole can be displayed or hidden.

The Location Manager

Location Manager displays the locations from the current project connection in a grid with each row representing a borehole.

The grid can be sorted by clicking on the header of any column, clicking again will change the sort order, or the filtered via the Filter icon

It is possible to sort data by more than one column. Simply hold down the shift key while selecting the first sort column, and then select a second column to order the data primarily by the first column followed by the second.

Include: The Include toggle can be unchecked to prevent the hole data being used in any surface created. Toggled on: the hole will be used, toggled off: it will not be used. This may be required for holes where the data is not reliable. Using this method will exclude the use of data from the borehole in any strata surface created. The toggle in the column header can be used to include or exclude all filtered boreholes.

Plan: The toggle controls the display of the location Plan Symbol.
Strip: The toggle controls the display of the location Plan Strip.
Model: The toggle controls the display of the 3D Borehole.
Zoom: Zooms to the borehole location.
Band By: Specifies the type of geotechnical data to use to create the 3D Boreholes cylinders, the options are:
- BGS Lexicon
- Geology Code
- Geology Code 2
- Legend Code

Changing the option will force the update of the 3D Boreholes with the cylinders now rep-resenting the new geology banding type.

The cylinder strata colour is given by the geotechnical hatch for the stratum, the hatch styles are defined in the geotechnical Hatch Manager. The individual cylinder elements are placed on layers specified by their stratum name.

Note: Geotechnical objects are placed on layers' dependent on their strata name; this includes the individual cylinder elements in boreholes and the geology surfaces. The layers can be found in the standard AutoCAD Layers Properties Manager, the layers are in a group called KNX.

3D Exaggeration: Specifies the vertical scale to use to display the geotechnical objects in model space. By changing the exaggeration, the 3D Boreholes, strata surfaces, XYZ point groups and XYZ surfaces created by the Civil Extension will all have their vertical scale updated.
2D Exaggeration: Specifies the vertical scale to use to display the 2D strips on plan. By changing the exaggeration, the 2D Log Strips will be redrawn with the new vertical scale.
Location Groups: Selecting a group will filter the location grid to only show the locations for the selected group. The select box lists the Location Groups (if any) defined in OpenGround Cloud.

Note: If none is selected then all the locations contained solely within the Location Groups will be displayed.

Select from Drawing: Used to refine which locations are displayed in the location grid,
- Press Select from Drawing and select the boreholes either by clicking the borehole texts, the borehole plan symbols or using the mouse to select the locations then press enter. The location grid will be redisplayed with just the selected locations.
Clear all filters: The location grid will be redisplayed listing all locations in the drawing for the current project.
