QuickFence/Cross Software details

Top 5 Features:

1) Quickly Choose Borings for the Cross Section

Once you've created some logs using QuickLog, you can add each one to a cross section list with a click of a button. You can also create a list, without QuickLog, simply by entering boring names with their geological layer information:

2) Instantly Generate a Basic Cross Section

After two or more borings have been added to a list, you can immediately preview your cross section. Below is a cross section generated from the list above. Each geological layer is marked with its fill pattern abbreviation (ex. SM). In minutes, you have a basic cross section drawn perfectly to scale. Accomplishing this task in CAD would take hours:

In addition to labeling the layers, you may choose to have them filled with a fill pattern inside the representation of the borehole:

You also have the option of letting the program connect the geological layers using its artificial intelligence:

4) 3) Customize the Cross Section using Drawing Tools

QuickCross/Fence's built-in drawing tools enable you to add layers, lenses, lines, text and symbols. It's like using a CAD program but even more efficient because it places a "node" at each contact point between the layers. To add a new layer or lense, you simply connect nodes. You can also add your own nodes to control how layers pinch out between borings. Click on the samples below to enlarge

4) Generate True 3-D Fence Diagrams

Similar to Using QuickCross, you can use QuickFence to quickly generate a 3-D fence diagram by creating a list of borings with their X,Y locations. You can also rotate the fence diagram.

5) Create Custom Fill Patterns using any Paint Program

The program includes 65 fill patterns. Each fill pattern is a BMP file which you can open and modify using any paint program. This format enables us (and you) to create a wider variety of fill patterns than a CAD program can offer (since CAD can only use vector fill patterns). To create additional fill patterns, you simply save the BMP files under a new name. Any BMP file can be used as a fill pattern -- you could even take digital photos of your soil samples and use them as fill patterns:
