GGU-AXPILE: "Soil properties legend" menu item

A legend with the soil properties of the individual layers will be displayed on your output sheet if you have clicked the "Show legend" check box. Using this menu item, you can alter the shape and appearance of the legend.

You can define and edit the position of the legend using the values "x" and "y". You can control the size of the legend via the "Font size". You can also define a background colour in some legends.

The fastest way to modify the position or size of the legend is to press the [F11] function key and then to either pull the legend to the new position or to move the sides of the legend to their new size with the left mouse button pressed.

The depths of the soil layers can also be entered in the legend. When using absolute elevations,
the depth dimension, e.g. "m AD", is defined in the "Edit/Ground level" menu item.

If the "System coloured" combo-box is activated, the soils will be displayed coloured in the soil properties legend and in the system presentation. Otherwise, they will be numbered in the legend.

In the "Soil colours + soil hatching" group box, you can make the desired adjustments according to your individual requirements:

  • "Automatic"
    The program automatically assigns soil colours to the soils. If the check box is deactivated, the soil colours that you can set individually under the “Soil colours” button are used.

  • "Soil colours"
    You will see a dialog box in which you can make your desired settings. Here you can assign a new colour to each soil layer after clicking on the button with the desired number or reassign the colours via "Soil colours/Reorganise" button. You can save your colour settings to a file under "Soil colours/Save" and reuse them for other systems using the "Soil colours/Load" button. In the lower area, you can transfer the colour settings to the Windows colour box as user-defined colours, for example, or vice versa. Click on the "Info" button for further explanations.

  • "Hatching"
    You will see a dialog box in which you can define different hatchings for each soil.

  • "Legend hatching factor"
    A narrower hatching can be achieved in the small boxes of the legend than in the system presentation. To do this, select an entry < 1.00.
