Strata Manager

Command: HBSI_StrataManager

From the OpenGround Cloud ribbon, click Strata to display the dialog box.

The Strata Manager is used to create and display strata surfaces based on the Band By selection.

The manager is designed to make it fast and easy to switch between strata surfaces, the display of each surface can be checked On or Off; there is no need to change the surface style to hide the surface.

The grid lists all strata as specified by the Band By option in the project and gives summary information for the various strata.

The grid can be sorted by clicking on the header of any column, clicking again will change the sort order.

The grid contents can be filtered by using the filter icon in the column header.

Band By: The banding option is used to specify the type of geotechnical data to be used to create the surfaces on. Changing the banding will not affect the current surfaces but will allow new surfaces to be created using the selected banding.

Include Base of Locations: Indicates if the last depth value from a location should be used in creating the strata surfaces, including the last value from a hole that may create inaccurate sur-faces. The last value from the hole, highlights the depth of the hole and not the depth of the base of the strata. For instance, in Trial Pits the geology will continue past the bottom of the Trial Pit. Toggle On Include "Base of Locations" will force the last value from the location to be used in creating surfaces.

• State: The state icon indicates if the data in OpenGround Cloud from which the surface was created has altered; if the surfaces are using the latest data the icon will be a green tick, if the sur-face needs updating the icon will be a red cross.
• Visible: When toggled ON will create both the Top and Base surfaces representing the stratum if they are not already created, and automatically display the Top surface. Toggling off will hide the surfaces.

Use the down arrow to control the display of both top and base surfaces independently.

• Strata name: The column name will change to reflect the current Band By option, the value dis-played is the unique name for the stratum, the value is dependent on the Band By option.
• View: Click the button to display the Stratum Locations dialog. The dialog will display a list of all the locations used in creating the surface. The top and base of individual locations can be toggled on and off so that their data is not used in creating the surface.
