File Information

Stratigraphic Horizons File

The Stratigraphic Horizons file (.hzl) contains a number of sections but the ones used by the Section Design and Range Diagram modules are:

CONFORMABLE

This contains a list of all the surface models, except the topography model. It can contain as many records as you require, with each record being of the form:

'surface' ' ' ' ' '00t' 'mask_layer' 'label' 'N'

PLOT_ATTRIBUTES

This contains a list of all the attributes used to plot each of the models. It should contain a single record for each of the models - if a model is not listed then the default attributes are used. Each record must have the form:

'surface' 'colour' 'pattern'

PLOT_FEATURES

This contains a list of the features that are to be associated with each of the models' profiles - if a model is not listed then no feature is associated with it. Each record must have the form:

'surface' 'feature name'

TOPOGRAPHY

This contains a description of the model used to represent the topography. It should contain a single record of the form:

'surface' '00t' 'mask_layer' 'label'

The surfaces may be triangulation or grid models except when using the Geotech Design (New) module which allows triangulation models only. The maximum number of surfaces that may be listed in the stratigrapic file is 500.
