The Interpretation Edit command is the main command for editing and manipulating geo-technical profile views. The command has been designed to make it easy to identify the different strata and to highlight the corresponding profiles.

Command allows the strata profiles to be easily modified but still contains the link with the strata surface, the edits made to the profile are generally reflected in the strata surface.

Command: HBSI_ModellingManager

From the OpenGround Cloud ribbon Interpretation Panel press the Editicon which will display the Interpretation Manager dialog to edit geotechnical profile views.

• Start Edit: Press Start Edit and select the geotechnical profile view from the drawing to work with. To select a profile view, click on the profile view border or gridlines.

Selecting a profile view will put the profile view in edit mode and change its appearance, apply-ing transparency to the strata hatch areas and boreholes, profiles styles will also be changed to highlight the current profiles being edited, emphasising the vertices on the profile.

The Interpretation Manager dialog will also be updated to list the strata in the project and activate the buttons.

For each stratum listed the following options are available:

• Hatch: Toggle On or Off to display the stratum hatch band
• Top: Toggle On to make the stratum top profile editable
• Base: Toggle On to make the stratum base profile editable
• Highlight: By clicking on the stratum Name in the list, the Stratum band in the profile view will be highlighted. The actual amount of transparency and the profile styles used are defined in the Interpretation Settings command.
• Boundary: When toggled On displays vertical lines where the intersection of boundaries occurs with the alignments for any boundaries associated to the stratum surfaces
  

To edit a profile toggle On the appropriate profile to make it editable, either the Top or Base; multiple profiles can be edited at the same time by toggling on the appropriate check boxes.

Only profiles that coincide should be edited simultaneously otherwise undesirable changes will be made.

For the editable profiles the following commands are available:

• Follow: Select an existing polyline, line or profile for the editable profiles to follow, press Enter to follow the whole of the selected object or pick the left and right extents from the drawing, the section to be updated will be highlighted red. For the selected section the editable profiles will be updated and vertices along the profile will be replaced with those from the selected line.
• Draw: Draw a series of points for the new profile, any existing profile vertices between the start chainage and end chainage will be replace with the newly drawn profile section. The whole pro-file or just part of the profile can be redrawn. Repeating the process just replaces existing pro-file vertices with the new.
• Add: Add a new vertex to the editable profiles at the chainage point picked
• Remove: Remove a vertex from the editable profiles at the Chainage point picked
• Trim: Remove excess profile from the left or right of the editable profiles, on the profile view click the place to trim and then indicate whether the left or right side should be trimmed, the side to be trimmed is highlighted red. Note: trim can only remove the section's profiles that have been added using the Edit interpretation functionality for the current profile view, it can-not trim profiles that already existed.
• Reset: Removes all edit made to the current editable profiles for this profile view.
