(In plaxis 2D there is an option in structure for creating soil polygon, but in plaxis3D there is no such option.)en-USTelligent Community 12https://communities.bentley.com/thread/768750?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 07 Jun 2023 11:40:44 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:b4241c6d-ad98-42e3-b4a7-34c5980c70e1Stefanos Papavasileiou<p>You can also check our tutorial exercise:&nbsp;<a href="https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/w/wiki/45574/plaxis-3d-tutorial-02-excavation-in-sand">PLAXIS 3D Tutorial 02: Excavation in sand</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/768747?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 07 Jun 2023 11:10:38 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:d3723635-91df-451e-99fa-eccd21dc3a38Dennis Waterman<p>Dear Arunangshu,</p> <p>In 3D one needs a soil volume, not a soil polygon. Volumes cannot be drawn directly in PLAXIS 3D because it would be quite difficult to draw a 3D volume in a 2D drawing plane. Therefore volumes are made through for instance extrusion of polygons and/or intersection with other planes. The final volume can then be assigned a material to.<br />Hence, they&#39;re not explicitly called Soil volumes, just volumes.</p> <p>With kind regards,</p> <p>Dennis Waterman</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
