The following tools are available in the dynamic portion of the [[GMS:Toolbars| | The following tools are available in the dynamic portion of the [[GMS:Toolbars|tool palette]] whenever the [[GMS:Boreholes|Borehole Module]] is activated. Only one tool is active at any given time. The action that takes place when clicking in the [[GMS:The GMS Window|Graphics Window]] depends on the current tool. The following table describes the tools in the borehole tool palette. | ||

The '''Select Contact''' tool is used to select the interfaces between soil layers. Selected contacts can be deleted as long as there are at least two contacts remaining on the borehole after deletion. In plan view, the selected contact can be dragged anywhere in the XY plane with the mouse. In other views, the selected contact can only be dragged up and down along the Z axis, unless the ''Control'' key is held down, in which case the contact can be dragged anywhere in the viewing plane. The coordinates of the contact can be edited in the [[GMS:The GMS Window|''Edit Window'']]. Multiple contacts can be selected sequentially by holding down the ''Shift'' key, or they can be selected automatically using the [[GMS:Creating and Editing Boreholes#Auto Select|'''Auto Select''']] command. Selected contacts can be used to create TINs. A horizon id can be assigned to a selected contact(s) by selecting the '''Properties''' command in the ''Edit'' menu. | The '''Select Contact''' tool is used to select the interfaces between soil layers.

First a prompt asks for the missing coordinate (i.e., in plan view, the z coordinate is asked for). Boreholes can not be created in oblique view. The borehole is given a default name of "New Borehole" and three segments which are ten units long by default. A newly created borehole can be edited using the other tools in the Tool Palette or the [[GMS:Boreholes|''Borehole Editor'']]. | | align = "center" | [[File:Create Borehole Tool.svg|6 px]] || '''Create Borehole'''|| The '''Create Borehole''' tool can be used to create a new borehole at the location clicked on by the mouse.

To create a single cross-section, click on the first hole and then double-clicks on the second hole. Multiple panels of a cross section can be created at once (i.e., a fence diagram) by single-clicking on sequence of boreholes and double-clicking on the last borehole. | ||

The figure below shows a set of borehole cross sections. The cross section selection icon is the black diamond near the center of each of the cross sections. A cross section can be edited by selecting its corresponding icon and selecting the [[GMS:Borehole Cross Sections|'''Cross Section Editor''']] command from the ''Borehole'' menu or by double-clicking on the selection icon. | The figure below shows a set of borehole cross sections.
