I am producing gINT fence diagrams for a 140-km long rail alignment. I have about 600 boreholes along this alignment, and many of them are very closely spaced. The fenceposts for these boreholes overlap and are difficult to read. Is there a way to offset the overlapping boreholes with a marker that would show the original borehole location?
Elise, there are several ways to accomplish this, but none - that occur to me, anyway - that will work in a single fence report.
One method would be to have a simple graphic like a single line representing the position of the fencepost, labeled with the borehole ID, on a report where the posts are positioned in the normal way (spatially related to their perpendiculars to the baseline). A second report could then show more data for each borehole, but space the boreholes equally, with sufficient room to allow for no overlap, providing a data-friendly presentation instead of the correct spatial relationship..
I'm hoping others (Dave Kyllonen, Johnny Martel, Phil Wade?) with expertise on the subject will have other suggestions for you.
