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.
