Aligning Plot Sections
A plot sheet's section definition can be interactively aligned with specific points without changing other section properties. A series of sections is defined by the current center point and the section width, that is, if the current section is vertical at a northing of zero with a width of 50 then other sections will have centre points of ... -100, -50, 0, 50, 100 ....
To adjust a section position in a plot sheet projection:
Note: Adjusting the section can affect multiple other section definitions if you are modifying a Master Section.
-
Display the plot sheet containing the projection whose section you wish to modify.
-
Left click to select the projection.
The Projection (Section) and Projection (View) ribbons display.
-
Display the Projection (Section) ribbon.
-
You can now modify the section definition using any of the following ribbon commands:
-
Position >> Pick to move to the section that contains the selected hole collar or intercept. The existing section centre points are not changed.
Tips: Turn off clipping so that the point for inclusion is visible, and rotate the view perpendicular to the section and then select the new centre point in the rotated view.
-
Position >> Snap to move the section to the next selected point. The new section will transect the picked point retaining its azimuth and inclination.
-
Tip: You can also change the section definition for a plot projection by editing the projection's properties. See Projection Properties
