Sections and Civils Section work similarly to header sheets although they also use some other items. When designing sections, many of the items available under the General category are available and work the same as with normal borehole and header templates. The way that Sections are setup for use is also very similar. For more information on these please find the corresponding section in the guide.
The section templates do not have a depth related area. The area used to plot the strips will be whatever is left after the header and footer have been setup
Note: The way that Sections and Civils Sections are setup are identical, therefore this guide will com-bine the details of the two items below.
When creating a section, a new item under the Design ribbon of the interface appears labelled Section Items. This area stores all of the section properties that can be defined.
This option is used to select which strip will be used on the section template.
The following items can be shown on the section template along the horizontal scale. If an item is unchecked, then it will not appear on the template. An example of these items is shown below:
The following items can be defined, and their properties edited on the section template;
Font Size - This sets how large the font appears on the vertical scale.
Long Marker Length - This sets how large the marker size that appears next to the depths are.
Display Minor Ticks - This sets whether there will be a marker every 0.1 meters or if turned off, every meter.
Display Markers on Right - This sets whether the vertical scale will be repeated on the right hand side of the page or not.
The Legend option allows for different picklist images to be used within the legend that appears on the template.
In version 1.30+ of Template Studio, a new function has been added that allows for a user to select whether the Picklist value is displayed or whether the actual description for that picklist is displayed instead. For example, in the above image, the Picklist description is displayed, how-ever, by changing the option below to be not the Geology Code would be displayed instead.
