gINT-005: FENCE REPORT DESIGN

 

Course Description

gINT 005 teaches you the design of fence reports, and introduces some other options for modeling geotechnical data. A fence report places multiple "fenceposts" of borehole information in proper relation to each other, relative to the borehole coordinates and elevations. Fences show the relationships of layers in the boreholes, suggesting what the subsurface layers consist of. You will create a simple fence form then add a variety of features to it, including frame elements, a header of company and project information, borehole identification labels, water level symbols, and a custom title input at report output time. You will also see how to customize the grid and axes. Next, you will be introduced to importing and exporting data between gINT and surfacing/modeling software, and you will learn how to draw cross-sections on a fence report.

The course covers the following topics:

  • Understanding Fences
  • Specifying Report Properties
  • Adding a Graphic Column Entity
  • Previewing the Report Output
  • Adding Grid Lines
  • Adding a Borehole Number to Each Fencepost
  • Offsetting the Fenceposts from the Axes
  • Inserting a Frame and Title Block
  • Creating Water Depth Symbols
  • Adding Two Report Headings (one of them user input)
  • Adding Axis Labels
  • Setting the Print Order and Background Fill
  • Modeling Overview
  • Contouring Data Using Surfer and gINT
  • gINT and Rockworks
  • Drawing Cross-Sections on Fence Reports

Completion of gINT 001 or prior experience using gINT is recommended for this course.
