AHGW:Create Geophysical Plot Wizard

The Create Geophysical Plot Wizard dialog is accessed by clicking either Import XS2D Image Wizard or Create Geophysical Plot Wizard for Wells (depending on what options are desired) on the Arc Hydro Groundwater Toolbar. This tool helps create geophysical data plots for the selected section lines or wells in ArcGIS.

Cross Sections

When Import XS2D Image Wizard is clicked, the wizard contains the following steps:

1. Step 1: Cross Section Setup
2. Step 2: Scale
3. Step 3: Output Feature Classes

Scale

Step 2 of the Create Geophysical Plot Wizard

This step defines the plot and scale properties.

Plot Properties

• Plot width
• Plot offset
• Background vertical buffer
• Plot position

Scale Properties

• Scale label
• Scale vertical offset
• Maximum scale value
• Minimum scale value

• Scale location

Sample Plot and Scale

Output Feature Classes

Step 3 of the Create Geophysical Plot Wizard

This step defines the output feature classes.

Log Feature Classes

• Output log point feature class
• Output log line feature class
• Output log polygon feature class

Scale Feature Classes

• Output scale bar ticks feature class
• Output scale major ticks feature class
• Output scale minor ticks feature class
• Output scale vertical lines feature class
• Output scale background polygon feature class

Miscellaneous Options

• Append new feature or overwrite
  • Append
  • Overwrite existing feature with same data type

Wells

When Create Geophysical Plot Wizard for Wells is clicked, the wizard contains the following steps:

1. Step 1: Geophysical Plot Setup

Note: A well layer that follows the Arc Hydro Groundwater Schema must exist on the map prior to using this tool. A warning to this effect will appear if such a layer does not exist.

Geophysical Plot Setup

The following sections, options, and fields are available:

• Selected Well Properties section – Displays the Layer name and ID on the left. The following drop-down is on the right:
  • Well reference elevation field – Select the desired field from the drop-down. The default selection is "LandElev".
