Annotate a Section

When a section is created, the section template layers and styles are automatically incorporated into the section. This simplifies the process of annotating the section with accurate values and styles. All the native ArcGIS Pro editing tools are available for annotations.

Activity Steps

1. Open a section, see Open a Section.
2. On the Edit ribbon tab, in the Features group, click Create.

   The Create Features panel displays.

   Warning: It is important that the section being edited is the Section Template layer and not the downhole layer, which is the drillhole layer. The section template layer always has the section name as the prefix; for example, Section1. Minimise all other layers to avoid confusion. Only section template layers send data to the 3D environment to be modelled with the Solid From Template tool.

3. In the Section Template Layer select the attribute you want to digitise; for example, O (for oxide). Digitise the appropriate polygon, point or line. An example is displayed in the image below.

   

4. Add a gradient to the digitised layer if required.
   1. Right-click the digitised layer under the Contents panel and select Symbology from the menu.

      The Symbology panel displays.

   2. Click the coloured box in the Symbol column for the required layer.

      The Format Polygon Symbol panel displays.

   3. Select the Properties tab and click the Symbology Layers icon .
   4. Select Gradient Fill.
   5. Adjust the Appearance by selecting a Color and line Width.
   6. Set the Direction as Linear and the Type as Continuous to get the even gradient displayed in the example image below.
