Hi David, That works, but also, the description for the function says that, "Default delimiter is a comma and space." So I just used: Number: > Thanks, Brian L.

Forum Post: RE: Multi Project Output, Text Docs Report
Hi Brian, No problem. I like to explicitly show the syntax when writing code especially when posting in the forum. That way for other users that aren't familiar with function writing they can tell where the delimiter is supposed to go in case they were to want something other than a comma.

Forum Post: RE: Question Regarding Column names
Thank you, Aparna. I was able to unlock the library file so that it is no longer in read-only. See attached - I'm able to double click and edit the word "Material Description" but, cannot edit anything in green or red text. When I double click, nothing happens. Any ideas on how I would go about editing this? Thanks!

Forum Post: RE: Question Regarding Column names
It could be that the columns in green is in a Report block. Do you see any block name on the outside of the report? For example this is a report template and has these are the blocks that are color coded as per the entity it represents..... See if your report has something similar. IN The 'material description' title is a separate entity because of which you are able to edit it completely. Once you check the blocks report, go to the menu bar on the top of the report design page for Blocks>Edit Log blocks> and select the appropriate block name from the yellow pull down object selector . If you need more help on this, then I would need to look at your project and library file. In that case, send me a private message at Aparna.matange@bentley.com

Forum Post: Fence reports, fence tab not under output tab
I am a very new gINT user and I am trying to create a fence report, however I do not see the fence tab under output and I can find any help on this anywhere, is there any way to add it ?

Forum Post: Fences: Initialization error, no points available for plotting
Hi I am very new to gINT. I am trying to generate a cross section fence report. I am under OUTPUT > Fences and have selected my output file and relevant point IDs. All of my points have a latitude and longitude and elevation. When I click the preview eyeball I get the following error message: " Initialization Error : No points available for plotting, All points were lacking coordinates and / elevations" I went under report design, clicked the graphic column entity and looks like it has the right block in there. I am wondering if there is something I am doing wrong ? is latitude and longitude the same as northing and easting ?

Forum Post: RE: Fence reports, fence tab not under output tab
Hi Ceire, Fence report option is available for gINT pro and gINT pro plus. For gINT Logs you will see only Logs option under output. Please check if you have gINT logs are your purchased and licensed product. If you need to use fences, then you will need to upgrade to gINT pro or pro plus by contacting you Bentley Account Manager or through Bentley Sales.

Forum Post: RE: Fences: Initialization error, no points available for plotting
Ceire, For a point to output on a Fence, it must have values in the East and North fields in the POINT table and must have some data in the database that is specified for output in the Fence report. If you need more help regarding fences, attached is the link to the Fences Tutorial:

Forum Post: RE: Fences: Initialization error, no points available for plotting
So the file I have been given to work with does have data in the POINT table. The fields are labeled lat and long, but the units are in easting and northing ( six digits, not from 180 to -180) , so I guessing that it is the easting and northings just labeled differently. The elevations are also there. Is there anything else that could be prohibiting it?

It will be difficult to answer this without acutally seeing your project and library files. Please send me a private email at aparna.matange@bentley.com to trouble shoot this further.

Forum Post: RE: Question Regarding Column names
Thanks Aparna - that helped a lot! One other question - is it possible to create a column that calculates thickness of each different lithology layer? When I look at other logs I find myself trying to do a lot of mental math (gets old after looking at 100+ logs!). Ideally it would calculate the thickness based on the depths. Thanks!

Forum Post: RE: Question Regarding Column names
Sam, in your input if you have a field/column created say in your lithology table for example which has the thickness data, you can then tag that column to your report or add a new column to the existing report or edit an existing column in your report which will show that thickness data based on depth. To show this data, you will need to create another Text vs Depth column in that report which will associate your thickness data appropriate to the correct depth. If you need to know how to add, modify columns in your report, and how to add text vs depth column, you can go through this tutorial on log reports.

Forum Post: Grouping of items in graph vs depth entity
I am working on a log template that will graph multiple items wrt depth (similar to inclinometer readings). Assume my data table name is GRAPH with the Key set (PointID, depth). I have set the graph entity to group items by >. GroupID is a field in the GRAPH table that will be used to indicate which group a specific item is to be plotted with. all records that have identical GroupID entries will be plotted as 1 group. I have set the increment data marker property to provide separate symbols for each group. I had presumed that the data markers would be assigned based on the sort order of the <<GRAPH.GroupID field. Ie., if I had GroupID's of 1, 2, 3 Then group 1 would be assigned to data marker 1 and group 2 would be assigned to data marker 2 etc.. This is apparently not the case. The data plots by the groups desired and the data markers are incremented as specified, however, data marker 1 is assigned to the group with the lowest depth in it's group, data marker 2 is assigned to the group with the second lowest depth in the group, etc.. This makes it difficult to generate a legend since the minimum depth in each group will vary from log to log. I assume this could be fixed if I changed my keyset in the GRAPH table to (PointID, Itemkey, depth) and I used the ItemKey field to control groups, is this correct? I really do not want to change my keyset and add a separate parent table to the database for various reasons. Is there another way around this? Thanks for any thoughts anyone can provide.

Forum Post: Modeling above ground water level
Hello, I'm trying to figure out a way to model the situation where the water level is above the ground surface. This occurs during barge explorations or borings in swamp areas for instance. Currently it is shown by placing a negative value to show above the ground surface. As you can see though this places the ground water level symbol at 2 feet above the start of the log description. Ideally, I would like the ground water to show at the top/beginning of the log description area. Ideally I would like to show the water level at the start of the log then display water for 2' then begin the normal soil descriptions (preferably still showing the ground at depth 0). Any ideas how this can be performed. Thanks, Kohltan

Forum Post: RE: Modeling above ground water level
Kohltan, You may want to try and give a value in the monitoring Point stickup column in your water level table. Ideally in standard gINT files, the water levels are calculated based on subtraction of Depth and Monitoring Stickup value (if it has any, else it is assumed as 0). You can try to give -2 for monitoring (although -ve values means below the ground). This will bring the water level symbol right on the top of the log description and will continue to keeping the ground water depth at 0. But then on the log header, the value of At the time of drilling will show the value as 0 and not as -2.

Forum Post: RE: Modeling above ground water level
There are two ways to approach this 1. Simply define a material for water and log it as water starting from zero at the water surface. Your lithology table would look something like: Depth Bottom depth Description Graphic 0 2 water Water (note I use a material graphic that uses the default waves49 tile symbol and is called water 2 4 CL CL I prefer this method but it is sometimes challenging when the water level is fluctuating during drilling. Also, if you are only paying for drilling through soil (ie no payment for "drilling" through water) it can be misleading because the total depth of the boring is not the pay depth. I like it because when you generate fences or logs that have a graphic column, the water material symbol shows as part of the stick so it clearly defines the standing water condition rather than seeming like an artesian condition with the water level symbol above the top of the soil surface. 2. Continue to log the water as a negative depth from the top of soil and modify your report form to begin at a negative depth. In report editor, select properties and in the properties window select the report structure tab; set the top depth expression to something like >)>>-0.999)>>)>>,0)>> You would have to modify the above formula to find the minimum of the entered water depths by referring to the appropriate table and fields. This formula will set the top depth of the log at the next lower integer than the minimum top depth when negative. Example: if you enter a water depth of -2.1 the top depth of the log would be set at -3; if you entered -2 for the water depth it would set the top depth of the log to -2; if you entered 5.6 for water depth (below the ground surface) it would set the top of the log at zero (the outer MinVal function does this) because you do not want to chop off the soil portion of the log. Hope this helps.

As an after thought, you could implement both #1 and #2 in my initial reply. This would give you a log that looks something like this for your original situation

Forum Post: RE: Display Data Marker on Fence Post by Boring Type?
Sorry, one more related question now that I have the borehole data markers displayed. I have created the custom markers using different fill colors to differentiate various phases, but when they display on the fence they are all black. Is it possible to show the colored symbols? I am not sure where the setting would be for this, and since it is now in the text field, it may be controlled by the color there?
