We've got a huge database of historical data on a project. There are several hundred holes. I've got a proposed surface for new construction. I'm trying to come up with a way to find out which holes do not extend far enough into the ground to reach the layer for proposed excavation. I guess a list isn't particularly needed, but perhaps highlighting/visualizing within the file. If I can get a relative distance from that layer, it would be helpful too.
Hi Jeff,
I may have a solution, if you add the lithology for your boreholes, and then create terrains for the deepest layer, using top and bottom; you will end up with a MicroStation terrain element that would represent the bottom of your deepest layer and also the bottom of all boreholes. Let me know if that works

I've created a layer representing the bottom of the holes. I'm not certain it really gets me where I want. I'm talking about measuring a vertical distance from the bottom of the hole to a specific tin. Say for instance I've got a historic boring with a top of hole 1150 and a bottom hole of 1125. A future project is going to cut this area to 1120; I've got a tin for the proposed excavation. Now say I've got 100+ holes along this project. I want to generate a list of distances from the bottom of each hole to the proposed excavation. So the answer for the example hole would be 5 or -5, depending on how I write it. I know I can measure each one individually, but I'd like to figure out a way to do this more efficiently. I'd even be satisfied with a list of proposed tin elevations at each borehole location. I could do the rest pretty easily.
