Cross-Section Extension Module

Features

The cross-section extension module is the latest version of our WinFence program and has all the old features and many new ones. These features consist of numerous common features as well as industry specific features. Below is a list of some of the common features.

Common Features

  • Sidebar for quick and easy editing

  • Grid nodes from contour maps are displayed on the cross-section and can be used to automatically adjust the strata boundaries

  • Strata boundaries can be used to create contour maps in the extension contour module

  • The automatic creation of cross-section strata has been improved with tighter links to the boring/well module

  • Cross-sections can be included in page layouts for a project and shown either individually or as part of a montage

  • Cross-section path line can be straight or bent

  • Intersecting cross-sections can be displayed on a cross-section

  • Intersecting cross-sections can be used when automatically generating a new cross-sections

  • Cross-sections can use data entered in the boring/well extension module to show lithologies, graphs, geophysical logs, samples, and well details at borehole locations

  • Strata from the boring/well extension module are automatically added to the cross-section

  • Cross-sections can contain an unlimited number of layers, lenses, and intrusions

  • Strata boundaries can be connected by straight lines or a curve can be fitted to the boundary

  • Boundaries can be snapped to other layers or intrusions

  • Points defining strata boundaries can be graphically edited and deleted

  • Horizontal and vertical scales of the cross-section can be specified or automatically fitted by the program

  • Either custom or supplied lithologic symbols can be used to represent different strata, more than 300 are supplied with the program

  • The foreground and background colors of the strata can be specified

  • The size of the strata symbol can be adjusted

  • Floating paragraph text boxes can be added anywhere to a cross-section

  • Lines, poly-lines, arrows, and rectangles can be added anywhere to a cross-section

  • The cross-section legend can contain lithologic symbols with standard or custom lithology descriptions
