Hi Everyone,
We frequently like to show additional bits of data next to our borehole symbol on our plans, such as top of rock elevation, water elevation, thickness of organics etc.. I am looking to see if there is a customizable mechanism that will allow me to pull this additional data out of the database and bring into Civil 3D and OGC mapping for display, whether that mechanism is updating a view in the database, or other configurations that can be made by a user or an admin.
While some of the data we need to display with the boreholes on the plan, such as ground surface elevation, station and offset is currently available for labeling, it appears to me that in both Civil 3D and in the Professional Mapping that this data is limited only a few fields in the "Location Details" table.
I am interested in hearing about any work-around that will allow me to bring in additional data from the database for labelling in Civil 3D and Professional Mapping.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
Hi Mike,
The short answer is to use the 'XYZ | Point Group' function from the ribbon. You can find a more detailed example here on LEARNserver.
This will display additional data as text and/or a symbol (note that the 'Surfaces' button on the XYZ panel has a similar interface with a surface being the output as an alternative).
Note that this technique works with the data 'as is'; there is no support for expressions. Therefore, you may need to use a report view or calculated field for some of the items you want to report, e.g., thickness.
Thanks,
Phil
Hi Phil! I hope all is well with you. This worked like a charm, thank you!
Glad to hear that, Mike - thanks for letting us know
