Edit Profiles

Command: HBSI_EditProfileView

Profile Views once created can be edited. There may be a need to add/remove Borehole Locations or remove strata hatching from being displayed as examples.

Step 1: Selecting a Profile to Edit

From the Civil Ribbon Click Edit. Use the mouse to highlight and select an existing Profile View.

The Geotechnical Profile Wizard will be displayed (Create and Select alignment is disabled).

The following can be edited:

• Name: Rename the Profile
• Style: Change the AutoCAD Civil 3D Profile View Style
• Band Set: Change the AutoCAD Civil 3D Profile Band Set
• Geotechnical Surfaces: Toggle on/off Strata bandings as well as Hatching.

It is also possible to add non-strata surface Profiles to the profile view, these will be listed in the Geotechnical Surfaces grid.

Step 2: Select Locations

This Step in the wizard mirrors that of the Location selection process when creating the profile initially.

Style Locations:

Style: Select the Geotechnical Style specifying the Profile log strip style to be used on the Profile View;

Step 3: Filter Locations

• By Buffer: Enter a distance to use to find all borehole locations within the specified distance from the alignment.
• Dynamic: Toggle On dynamic for the Geotechnical Extension to search for new borehole locations within the buffer distance to project onto the Profile View when the alignment is modified.
• Show Buffer: Draws a polyline to highlight the extents of the buffer.
• Manual Selection: Provides the option to manually control Borehole Locations to be displayed on the profile view. Manual Selection offers the below three options:

• Add from Drawing: Option to add Hole Locations to the profile by selecting from the plan view. Once selected the location/s will appear in the Wizard.
• Remove from Drawing: Option to remove existing Hole Locations from the profile view by selecting the locations from the plan view. Once selected the locations will no longer show in the Wizard.
• Remove: Option to select a Hole Location from the Wizard and remove it from the profile without selecting from the drawing itself.

• Back: Return back to the previous step.
• Finish Confirms changes made to the profile. The changes are reflected on the Profile View instantly.

The below example illustrates adding a location to the Profile View from Plan selection along with toggling off the strata banding and hatching for FILL.

Manual Selection is chosen, and the Add from drawing selected.

A location from the Plan view is selected and the location appears in the Wizard after the Return key is pressed.

Press finish to finalise the changes being made. The Profile View will be updated to reflect this immediately.

The HBSI Civil Extension is shipped with a number of AutoCAD patterns for geology together with the standard geotechnical hatch styles for AGS legend codes. New geotechnical hatch styles are automatically created when accessing project with new stratum codes not encountered before. The Geotechnical Hatch Manager can be used to edit and refine these automatically created styles.
