Filtering and Reviewing Boreholes Using the Geotechnical Modeler

The Geotechnical Modeler tool allows you to sort imported geotechnical sample data by a variety of queries. The various filters include filtering sample data by location type, date range, minimum depth, and polyline boundary. Note the message outlined in blue in the image below. This message will update accordingly each time the filter settings are modified.

To filter imported data by Location Type:

2. Select the desired start date and end date using the dropdown calendar to filter the data based on those parameters.
3. Select the Apply Filter button from the dialog box. The data will now be filtered by the sample date.
4. To undo the previous filter selected, clear the checkboxes from the previous step and select Apply Filter or simply select Reset Filter.

To filter imported data by minimum depth:

To filter imported data by polyline:

1. Open the Manage Data dialog box by selecting Geotechnical Modeler tab Geotechnical Modeler Panel Manage Data from the ribbon.
2. From the bottom third of the Manage Data dialog box select the Use Boundary Polyline checkbox.
3. Select the Select Polyline button adjacent to that setting.
4. From the viewport select the desired polyline.
5. Select the Apply Filter button.
