CPT plot lines with gaps

Hi all,

I'm trying to create some custom reports where I can include both CPT and lab results, but so far I'm stuck on the CPT plots. The areas marked with an arrow have no data and I would like it to be left blank, however the program displays extrapolated data. Is there any way to do this? 

Best,

Marek

  • If you add a depth at the top and bottom of your interval where you have no data and leave the tip, sleeve, and pore pressure values at those locations blank, how does the output look?

  • Hi Allan,

    Tried your way but nothing changed.Any tips and ideas welcome!

  • Hi Marek,

    There is a built in feature that may help you with this. Typically you will only have depth data and not depth bottom. If you goto report design and open the plot vs depth entity . Then goto the lines tab. there are a couple of features that may help. The simplest one is the the maximum depth gap expression. This can be just a number of a more complex logic expression.

    This property allows you to specify a Maximum Depth Gap.

    If the interval between two consecutive data points is greater than the value specified the line will not be drawn between the two points. The units are the same as the units for the data. By default, when you specify a line to be drawn all points will be connected

    There is a great detailed example in gINT help . 

    Goto gINT help .. lookup "Maximum Depth Gap expression" and other options could be the "Suppress Line Segment Expression"

    In your case a simple Maximum Depth gap expression should work

    For example if the gap between two depth records is 2 feet or greater hide the line between those 2 point s. You would just put 2 in the Maximum depth gap expression.

    You can get much more complex in your logic writing an expression and/or use the Suppress line segment expression for other complex items

  • Thanks for the help Kirk! This is where the problem was. While trying to troubleshoot I came across this option, however I was typing in too small value and there was no response in the output, so I quickly abandoned that idea. I think 0.1 is the smallest value that can be typed in "Maximum Depth Gap expression" field.

    Lesson for the future to check all options several times :)
