OpenGround - Step 1 : Setup Profile

Specifies how and what Geotechnical Profile to create.

Profile View

Name: The name for the profile
Style: Select the Profile Style to be used to create the Geotechnical Profile; these are the standard AutoCAD Civil 3D Profile Styles.

Note: Profile styles can be edited using the standard AutoCAD Civil 3D functionality, refer to Profile View Styles in the AutoCAD Civil 3D help

Alignment: Select the alignment to be used from the drop-down list or either select the alignment from the drawing or create a new alignment
- Select from Drawing: Select the alignment to use in the profile from the drawing
- Create Alignment: Follow the prompts to draw the alignment line press Enter when done. An alignment will be created and used within the Geotechnical Profile.

Geotechnical Surfaces

The grid lists all of the geotechnical surfaces currently created in the drawing. If a stratum surface is not present it means the surface has not been created, cancel the command and use the Strata Manager to create the required surface.

At least one geotechnical surface must be created and included to create a geotechnical profile.

Like all OpenGround Cloud related grids, the rows can be sorted and filtered by clicking on the column headings.

Each stratum is represented by a single row in the grid.

Include: Toggled On or Off to display or hide each pair of stratum surfaces in the new geotechnical profile.
Hatch: If both top and base surfaces have been created for a stratum, then the Hatch checkbox will be active, toggle On to Hatch the stratum in the profile, toggle Off for no Hatch. Hatch styles are defined in the Geotechnical Hatch Manager.
