Creating Existing Ground Cross Sections
265
NOTE
When there is only one existing ground surface, the Select Surface dialog
box does not display because the program selects the existing ground
automatically.
3 Select the correct surface, and then click OK to return to the Existing Ground
Section Editor.
4 Select the station you want to edit by clicking the Prev, Next, or Station
buttons.
The Station button displays a dialog box where you can type the station to
move to.
5 After you have selected the station you want to edit, you can use the following
navigation buttons to move between rows of section information for the
selected station:
n
 and : Use these buttons to move up or down one row at a time.
n
H and E: Use these buttons to display the very first row (Home) or the very
last row (End) of the Offset, Elevation, Grade % values at a time.
n
U and D: Use these buttons to move up or down one screen of Offset,
Elevation, Grade % values at a time.
TIP
Press TAB or ENTER to move through the fields.
6 From the Existing Ground Section Editor, you can do any of the following:
n
Add an offset by clicking Insert Offset. This option clears a row above the
row your cursor is located in.
n
Delete an offset by placing your cursor in the row to delete and clicking
Delete Offset.
n
Add a station by clicking Insert Station. You are prompted for the station and
a new surface name. You are prompted for a surface name because multiple
surfaces may exist in the cross section file. Accept the default (the current
surface name). With multiple surfaces, enter the data for one surface, click
Section View button to accept first surface data. You can then click the Insert
Surface button to add additional subsurface definitions.
n
Delete a station by clicking Delete Station. You are prompted to confirm the
deletion.
NOTE
Create cross section data for a new subsurface by clicking Insert Surface.
The New Surface Entry dialog box is displayed. Type the name of the
surface you want to create cross section data for, and then click OK.
Click Insert Station to begin creating station offset/elevation data. Each
time you enter a new station value you are prompted to enter new
surface name. Click OK to accept the default, or enter a new surface
name. If you want to add additional subsurface data at an already
sampled section, select either Prev, Next, or Station, and then click Insert
Surface to begin creating station offset/elevation values.
You can use the Insert Surface option to create cross section data for
subsurfaces. However, if you have borehole data, then you could use the
Interp Control option instead. With the Interp Control option you enter
the borehole data. Then you use the Interp Surfaces button to create the
subsurfaces for each station based on the borehole data you entered.
