Geotechnical Styles control the way geotechnical features appear in AutoCAD Civil 3D. They are called geotechnical style sets as each location type can use a different style setting, for instance a trial pit may use a different plan symbol and label compared to a rotary core hole.
Geotechnical Style definitions are saved at system level in the OpenGround Cloud database, the styles themselves are made up from a number of components, the log strip template and various settings are also stored in OpenGround Cloud; however, there are a number of AutoCAD based items including Point styles and blocks, which must be saved in a drawing template.
Refer to Updating an AutoCAD Drawing Template in this User Guide.
Command: HBSI_StyleManager
From the OpenGround Cloud ribbon click Styles to display the Geotechnical Style Manager.
The Geotechnical Style Manager is divided into two elements, at the top is the Geotechnical Styles Grid, and at the bottom is the Styles Editor.
The Geotechnical Style Grid lists all of the geotechnical styles defined and works like any standard OpenGround Cloud grid, with the column headers being used for sorting and filtering the data. Selecting a style by clicking on it in the grid will populate the Style Editor.

- Copy: Click Copy to make a duplicate of the selected geotechnical style set, the Style Editor is populated with the copied style.
- Delete: Deletes the selected Style.
- Set Current: Makes the selected style Current and refreshes the Geotechnical features in the drawing using the selected style definitions.
- Templates: The template screen is used to manage the Civil Extension profile templates avail-able in the application. The templates are stored in OpenGround Cloud, the Template Manager can be used to import new template components when they become available from Bentley.
- Import: Imports new Civil Extension profile templates component file (.hbc) into the Civil Extension.
- Delete: Deletes the selected templates from the Style Manager
