Type properties

Data can be represented in various ways, as defined by the Type option:

Model_Database_Layers_Designer_Settings_Types

Changing the Type property changes the tabs shown:

Cylinder

Model_Database_Layers_Designer_Settings_Type_Cylinder

Properties

Draw As Core - used to display the generated objects as a core cylinder (disables all other properties).

Value - defines the radius value in drawing units.

Start Angle - indicates the angle to start drawing the cylinder (used for segments).

Range Angle - defines the angle (in degrees) for segments - typically 360 for complete cylinders.

Side (Section) - defines which side to the core that cylinders are displayed on sections.

 

Leader

Offset - indicates the horizontal offset of the leader.

Depth - indicates the actual depth of the leader end (i.e. water level).

 

Disc

Model_Database_Layers_Designer_Settings_Type_Disc

Properties

Relative to hole axis - draws the disc relative to the hole axis (i.e. alpha and beta angles).

Value - defines the radius value in drawing units.

Dip - defines the angle of surface dip, measured from horizontal positive down in degrees.  

Direction - defines angle of the dip direction, measured clockwise from north in degrees.

 

Path

Model_Database_Layers_Designer_Settings_Type_Path

Properties

Side - indicates the side of the core that the line plot is shown.

Offset - indicates the offset of the line plot from the core axis (i.e. enables horizontal stacking).

Value - defines the offset value in drawing units.

Split By - splits data from a single investigation location into multiple line plots (i.e. multiple CPT sounding / DCP data).

 

Symbol

Model_Database_Layers_Designer_Settings_Type_Symbol

Properties

Orientation - indicates if the symbol is shown in the plan or section orientation.

Side (section orientation only) - indicates the side of the core that the symbol is shown.

Offset - indicates the offset of the symbol from the core axis.

Type - indicates the expression or constant name of the symbol (see block definition names).

Value - defines the offset value in drawing units.

Scale - defines the scaling of symbols (default = 1).

Rotation - defines the rotation of symbols (default = 0).

 

Labels

Text - defines text associated with a label.

Color - defines the text color.

Size - defines the text size in drawing units.

Offset - defines the offset from the symbol in drawing units.

 

Label

Model_Database_Layers_Designer_Settings_Type_Label

Properties

Side - indicates the side of the core that the label is shown.

Offset - indicates the offset of the label from the core axis.

Size - defines the text size in drawing units.

Value - defines the offset value in drawing units.

Text - defines text associated with a label.

Prefix - defines a constant string shown before the text.

 

Surface

Model_Database_Layers_Designer_Settings_Type_Surface

Properties

Method - defines the method used to generate the surface (i.e. Kriging).

Section Line - defines the line type presented on sections.

 

Function & Value

Function - defines the data function used to present data.

Value - defines the vertical offset value in drawing units.

Correction - used to correct values (i.e. CPT soundings with variable reading intervals).

noteNote

Value and Correction are disabled when Function is set to 'None'
