The layer name can be used to quickly fill in the symbol, title and description of the layer from a list of previously defined strata referred to as Lithologic Macros. These names can also be used later by the Cross-Section module to automatically generate the strata for a cross-section.

 

If the “Use Strata Names List” option is selected in the template, the names will need to selected from the list of lithology macros. The names selected for each layer in this situation will have to be unique for each layer. By using this option and specifying unique strata names, the auto-generation of the strata in the cross-section will be greatly improved.

 

The lithology macro form will display a list or previously imported macros.An existing lithology macro can be selected for the layer using the Select button. The title and symbol can also be updated for the layer using the checkboxes at the bottom of the form.
