Forum Post: RE: Font Size
The Height Override expression allow you adjust the size of the text to fit within a depth interval. Double click on the text or text vs depth entity ..go to the configuration tab..You will see the height override expression tab. You can write an expression to fit your needs. If you are trying to make a text entity smaller based on the length of the text see communities.bentley.com/.../14166.make-text-smaller-depending-on-number-of-characters If you are wanting it to fit in a small interval on a text vs depth entity you would write and expression See Help Index Height Override Expression (property) for example expressions. If you want something that calculates the scale of the range and compares that to the font height(see below represented as 0.05) you could reduce if range falls below that threshold. This is a generic expression and you tables and fields may be different. you would need to modify according for the specific tables and fields you are using. This expression would go in the height override expression of the text entity. This also assumes you are aligning your text (depth expression) in the middle of the range. > - >))>>_ )>>_ _ _ >_ )>>_ _ _ >/ >)>>,0.0000)>>,_ >/ >)>>,0.0000)>>,_ Else,0.05_ )>>

If your question is, can I enter data into a component description table, and use a gINT Rule to generate a formatted description paragraph and write it to a field in the project database... the answer is, you could but you'd need to write all the VBA code to do it all. The User System Data would play no part in it.

Forum Post: Getting error "Unable to open 'table'. Unrecognized database format" for a gpj file. Also shows "Automation error".
Trying to open a gINT project but unable to do so. I have Windows 10 and gINT version v8i 08.30.04.285. I am able to open all other projects and have tried repairing the file and importing it but with no success.

Hello, Looks like the project file is corrupted. You can try opening the project using the backup file. When a gpj is opened in Input or Data Design (if not opened read-only) a backup is created in the same folder. Each new backup is numbered as 1. gINT keeps only 2 backups, always deleting bak2 and renaming bak1 as bak2. You will have to rename the .bak1 file to .gpj. Also in the C:\Users\Public\Documents\Bentley\gINT\temp there is a file with X in front of the project name with extension .gbk. This could be the recent project file as well. Just change the extension to .gpj. These might give you the project close to the recent if not most recent.

Forum Post: Consolidating lithological sections for gINT fences
I've generated a fence diagram for a series of boreholes, and there are many cases where the lithology is the same over multiple lithological sequences. I was hoping to consolidate these smaller lithological sequences into one larger sequence, and because of the large quantity of boreholes, I was hoping to automate this. Any help would be appreciated

Hi Michael, I assume you are talking about the individual graphic sticks where you have a layer from 5 to 10 that is CLAY and then another that is 10 to 12 that is CLAY and you want to consolidate the graphic to go from 5 to 12. If that is what you want then you can edit the fence report graphic column.. In REPORT DESIGN..Fences.. Pick the fence you want to modify from from the yellow drop down at the top.. Then double click on the graphic column entity to open it's properties...goto the configuration tab and check "consolidate adjacent like sections" hit ok to save .. then re-output the report

Xian wrote. I asked the question regarding geology description and you said that it need a VBA code to do it all. I'm not good in VBA code, can you please tell me how to write the code for that or give me an example. I'm sorry for my poor English, its not my native language. Hi Xian You can refer to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\gINT V8i\docs\gint_rules_code_V8i.pdf There are three potential approaches 1. Bentley exposes component description methods in the gINT Rules API , then you take advantage of this in VBA. 2. Duplicate the component description logic in VBA code 3. Investigate if you can export component description results to a csv file via a text table report, then import it in to the gINT project. This process can be controlled by a script generated in VBA. I once did a similar thing with soil classifications before the soil class method were exposed in the gINT Rules API. I do not know it this is possible. You should contact the person that sold you gINT and ask them for help. Or I can assist on a consulting basis - this is not a 10 minute thing, it could take days.

None of those files exist in that folder. Is there any way to repair the project file itself?

If you haven't then, you can try using the Repair/Compact Databases tool under the Utilities tab.

The Repair/Compact tool did not work. It came up with an error: Unable to open file for cleanup Unrecognized database format. Also tried to import the project into another and I got error 3343 Unrecognized database format. Is there anything else I can do before I tell the end user they need to start over on the project?

Forum Post: Adding breaks in boring logs.
I have several borings that have layers that are spread over multiple pages when I output my boring log report. I would like to find a way to modify the depth scale or add depth breaks for certain parts of my logs. For example, I have a depth scale of 30' per page. In one particular log, I have a layer that is from 10-80' bgs, so there are almost 2 pages of my log that include solely this one layer. I would like to eliminate these unnecessary pages for my final log. I'm new to using gINT, so any help is much appreciated.

After doing all the options to retrieve the project nothing seems to be working. Looks like the project has gone corrupt.

Forum Post: RE: Adding breaks in boring logs.
Hi Brian , To change the scale for an individual borehole goto INPUT open your project. On the Borehole Tab (POINT TABLE) goto the Depth log page field. Specify the number of feet per page you want to display. IE if you want to show all 80 feet on one page put 80. reoutput the report You can set it in the borehole (POINT) table for individual boreholes or in the project table for all boreholes in the project. IE you want all boreholes in that project to show 80 feet per page.

Forum Post: RE: Adding breaks in boring logs.
Thanks, David. What if I want to have a variable depth scale within one page, though? For instance, a page covers depths from 0-80' but 0-10' has multiple layers and requires very detailed descriptions while 10-80' is a single layer with a simple description. Therefore, say I want 0-10' to take up half of the page, to clearly display all of the associated information, with 10-80' taking up the other half.

Forum Post: RE: Adding breaks in boring logs.
See the string of responses in the following post communities.bentley.com/.../198774 It describes a technique to create a variable scale, shrinking very thick layers and inserting a break symbol in these layers to indicate that the scale is not accurate for those thick layers. It is written to do this for a well construction diagram but you can apply the same technique to your boring log with a little more work. Read through the entire series of posts to understand the whole concept. I believe this is what you are looking for.

Forum Post: RE: gINT rules for geology description
I am understanding that you have an expression in the user system data that takes data from a component description table and assembles a paragraph style description that appears on your log. You desire to create a field in your database that has the results of this expression. As Phil said, you could do this with a long and complex gINT rule and it would have the advantage of updating the newly created description if you change one of the components. I am not really sure why you would want to do this as one of the advantages of the component description is that the description is built on the fly as a report is generated and you never have to worry if the description paragraph has been updated with the most recent changes. Having two versions of the same data in your data base is rarely a good idea. If you do not need the description to automatically update if you change one of the components and are OK with having two versions of the same data in your project, you should be able to create it using the following general process. 1. Create a field named "AssembledDescription" in your component description table to hold the assembled description. 2. Create an excel file that has "PointId", "depth" and "AssembledDescription" in the top row of the first sheet. Name the sheet the same as the name of your component description table 3. Create a correspondence file (*.gsx) using the correspondence file utility under the data design tab. Identify your current data structure as the source and the excel file as the target. This will create a correspondence table with three rows in it 4. The expressions for the three fields you want to export will be The PointID from your component description table, the depth from your component description table and the strata description expression from the user system data. 5. export your data to an excel file using the newly created correspondence file. The resulting file should have the boring number in the first column the depth in the second column and the assembled description in the 3rd column. 6. You can then import the excel file using the proper overwrite option. If everything is named correctly you should not need a correspondence file to import but you may want to create one anyways (*.gci) to make sure everything is going where it should. This is sort of what Phil was talking about in his alternate #3. Another method to consider if you are comfortable writing excel text concatenation formulas is to copy your entire component description table and paste it into excel. Then write a formula or series of formulas to assemble the description the same as your user system expression does. Then copy and paste the resulting descriptions back into the field you have created in your component description table. Again, both of these methods do not automatically update if you change one of the components. You have to re-run the process after each change. I have not tried the above using an a user system expression but have done similar things when converting from one data structure to another. I am sorry I can not give you more detailed instructions but I have no details to work with and it does get a bit involved.

Forum Post: Customizing Log reports and fence diagrams
Hi, I am totally new to gINT. I have gathered some basic knowledge and know how of the work environment by sifting through some of the manuals, help files, and online resources on Bentley website. However, I seem to have reached a dead-end in my search to look for ways to customize the borehole logs to suit my needs. My requirements from gINT at this moment are very basic and I am looking for resource material that can directly guide me to achieve these goals. The objectives I want to achieve from gINT right now are as follows; 1. Make a borehole log according to a customized format which we already use in our company. (I have had a look at several of the pre-installed library files and their respective templates but they don't suit me ant I have to make several modifications 2. Import a site layout plan of my project area (with boreholes marked on it). I understand that we can import a dxf but if the boreholes are marked on the dxf, do we still have to input the borehole layout information manually in the INPUT>BOREHOLES screen. 3. Make a fence diagram according to my own custom format. I shall be thankful if someone can guide me to the resource material by which I can achieve the aforementioned objectives.
