The Select Strata Type form will let you either create a new strata or use an existing project strata.&nbsp; If the strata already exists in the project you should select this option. If it doesn\u2019t exist create a new strata. The strata are automatically added from&nbsp; boreholes and other cross-sections in the project. After you have added or selected the strata&nbsp; to edit, the Edit toolbar should be shown at the top of the cross-section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start by adding the top layer boundary of the strata by selecting Top from the Add button on the toolbar or popup menu. &nbsp;Then click on the left cross-section boundary where the strata will start. Next click on the top boundary points from left to right, placing at least one point at each borehole. Finish the boundary by double-clicking on the right cross-section boundary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the bottom layer boundary the same way as the top, by selecting Bottom from the Add button on the toolbar or popup menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After the top and bottom boundaries have been entered, finish editing the strata by selecting Done from the toolbar or popup menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the remaining strata the same way as the previous one, except for the top layer boundary you can use the bottom of the layer above by selecting Top &nbsp;from the Snap button on the toolbar or popup menu.
