GMS:Borehole Commands

When the Borehole module is active the Borehole menu become active. The menu has the following commands:

• New Borehole

Creates a new Borehole.

• Borehole Editor...

Opens the Borehole Editor.

• Cross Section Editor...

Brings up the Cross Section Editor dialog where one or multiple 2D cross sections between boreholes are filled.

• Lock All Boreholes

Turns off the ability to change the position (drag) of created boreholes.

• Auto Select Contacts/Segments...

When one contact or segment is selected, automatically selects matching contacts or segments on other boreholes.

• Auto-Create Blank Cross Sections...

Automatically connects boreholes with blank borehole cross sections.

• Auto-Assign Horizons...

Automatically assigns horizon IDs to borehole contacts based on material ordering and adjacent boreholes.

• Auto-Fill Blank Cross Sections...

Automatically fills all blank cross sections by connecting the contacts on one borehole to those on the other.

• Horizons → Solids...

Opens the Horizons to Solids wizard which can be used to create solids from a combination of boreholes, TINs and conceptual models.

• Horizons → 3D Mesh...

Opens the Horizons to Mesh wizard which can be used to create a 3D mesh from a combination of boreholes, TINs and conceptual models.

• Zoom To Extents

Frames the Graphics Window around the selected objects.

Advanced > submenu

• HGUs → Soils

Copies the HGU material IDs to the soil IDs, overwriting the existing soil IDs.

• Soils → HGUs

Copies the soil material IDs to the HGU IDs, overwriting the existing HGU IDs.

• Snap Cross Sections to TIN...

Opens a dialog allowing the user to snap the top and/or bottom arcs of the cross sections to TINs.

• Snap Boreholes to TIN...

Opens a dialog allowing the user to pick a TIN. The selected boreholes (or all, if none are selected) are moved up or down in the Z direction such that their tops just touch the TIN surface. Multiple TINs can be selected. If a borehole can be snapped to more than one TIN, it will be snapped to whichever TIN is last.

• Add Contacts to TIN

Inserts a new vertex into the active TIN at the location of every selected borehole contact.

• Bounding 3D Grid...

Opens the Create Finite Difference Grid dialog with dimensions defaulted such that the new grid will surround all existing boreholes.

• Contacts → TIN

Creates a new TIN with vertices at the locations of the selected contacts.

• Contacts → 2D Scatter Points...

Creates a new 2D scatter point set with vertices at the locations of the selected contacts.

• Watertable → 2D Scatter Points...

Creates a new 2D scatter point set with vertices at the locations of the water table specified on each borehole.

• Sample Data → 3D Scatter Points...

Brings up the Sample Data → Scatter Points dialog that is used to create a 3D scatter point set from sample data.

• Sample Data → Stratigraphy

Opens the Sample Data → Stratigraphy dialog allowing the user to define stratigraphy (borehole contacts) based on the sample data.

• Horizons → HUF

Opens the Horizons → HUF wizard to create MODFLOW HUF data from TINs and boreholes. TINs or boreholes with horizon data defined are required, along with a MODFLOW simulation which uses the HUF package.
