3D Soil Profile Modelling

[Meg D]

Hello,

 

I was wondering if I could get some help on how to plot various soil profiles on a 3D Model of a deep excavation site. I've plotted the exterior of the area, borehole to borehole, using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012. The problem I'm facing is that when I start plotting the layers of the different soils, say from borehole 1 to borehole 2, it ends up protruding from the face of the distance from borehole 1 to borehole 2. I'm not sure of how to make sure the plot is on a fixed axis, like y-z axes, to ensure I have a reference point. How can I go about this? Any insight would be much appreciated.

You have to create multiple surfaces 1 surface for each soil layer type (depth below surface) then you could look at them all in 3d.

 

You will need to create a multiple pts each with the same x,y, but different z and a code 12.345,123.45,13.67,clay 12.345,123.45,23.67,rock then import soil group of points.

 

You would have been better posting in the CIv3D section, Moderator move maybe.

I can use the Create Surface tool for that and input the respective coordinates for each of the soil profiles, one by one, right? I have boreholes in the center of the model too.
