The top and bottom boundary of a segment can be edited by selecting the boundary in the segments area and then selecting Popup > Edit. The Edit Boundary form below will be displayed.

 

 

The following can be edited on this form:

 

Use Strata: This is used to select an existing strata for the boundary instead of specifying the points.

 

The coordinates for the points describing the boundary are displayed as a series of distances and elevations. Each boundary must start and end on the edge of the cross-section or on another boundary.

 

Distance: This is the horizontal distance to the point.

 

Elevation: This is the vertical elevation to the point.

 

The buttons at the bottom of the list are used to move to the first point, move to the previous point, move to the next point, move to the last point, insert a point, or delete the point.

 

 

Deleting a Segment

 

If the strata contains multiple segments, segments can be deleted by selecting the segment in the segments area and selecting Popup > Delete.
