Geotechnical borelogs in profile

Hello,

I am using Geopak v8i SS4.

I have created a few new borehole cell patterns and have tried everything I know to get the patterns to appear in the profile view.  However, everything I have tried has failed.  The following is the workflow I am using:

  1. Created and defined cell library patterns.  Ensured each pattern is set as "can be placed as cell" in model properties.
  2. Defined pattern names in Preferences and saved the cell library name/location with each pattern in use.
  3. Defined the cell pattern name in the csv file named "materials.csv", under material_name column.
  4. Also, attached cell library to the element pull down under cell.
  5. Placed cell library file and csv files in working directory which happens to be the gpk folder for the project.
  6. I have typed RC=<s[pace> <return> in key-ins to release old cell library connections.
  7. Have deleted rsc files.
  8. Have re-booted system, renamed cell library when moved to gpk folder, deleting older copies to streamline data connections.

Yet nothing seems to produce the cell patterns in the profile borelogs.   I do however, get only two of the patterns out of 8 that should show in the borelogs, and one of those is out dated, but is not updating.

I would like to complete the project this weekend if possible.  Any thoughts of what I am missing would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance for any help with this issue.

  • Hi Beebe Ray,

    Yes, I actually tried that.  From what I remember, it did not help.  The workflow that I believe worked, is this:  Once I did the above steps, I also performed a compress on the dgn file and a re-build database on gpk, then rebooted, and that appeared to work.  But I believe there is some corruption in the file because my profile cell is longer than my alignment.  I rebuilt the data a few times but could not eliminate the issue with the profile cell being longer than the alignment.  However, was able to eventually get the project completed anyway despite that.  I think the linework I used for the profile (from graphic linework) was not compatible with Geopak, it was a spline according to the element information.  I tried to draw a basic line as a test but it did not seem to work.  I was asked by engineer to add another profile, also from linework, and the profile shot across the model space beyond its limits.  I just trimmed the line and moved on at that point to complete the figures despite remaining issues.  If you have suggestions how I may correct the file corruption (assuming it is), that would be the remaining question at this time.

  • Beebe Ray,

    I wanted to add that I do not believe I made a new Geopak project, and started a new dgn file in conjunction with the performance issues of cell hatch not updating.  I eventually tried a new dgn file, which by itself, did not help, and eventually re-built my Geopak project, not actually sure if that helped.  If re-building the Geopak project and starting over with a new dgn file is advisable, I will add that step to my workflow for correcting non-updating cell hatch patterns.  I always start with a new Geotechnical project when I make any borehole changes, which by itself did not fix the problem..
