The location maps used for projects are derived from basemaps and form part of the GIS. When a project is created all of the layers in the basemap are automatically included in the project map. In addition, layers for boring/well and cross-sections, stations, and sample are also added.

 

After a project has been created or opened; additional layers and annotation can be added, the default templates changed, and the display of the project can be adjusted as described in the sections below.

 

The project is also used to create and open boring/wells, cross-sections, contour maps, lab analyses, geotechnical tests, buildings and excavations, stations, samples, and 3D views. The details of the creation and use of these objects is described in  chapters Chapter 5, Chapter 6, Chapter 10, Chapter 11, Chapter 8, Chapter 9 and Chapter 12.

 

The project information, local coordinates, category, address, and default templates can be edited by selecting Edit > Project Information. The Project Information form will be displayed and can edited as described in Creating a Project.
