Create XS2D Geophysical Plot Features tool in the Geoprocessing pane

The Create XS2D Geophysical Plot Features tool is accessed by double-clicking on "ArcGISPro Toolbx Tool.png Create XS2D Geophysical Plot Features" under the "ArcGISPro Toolset.png XS2D Editor" toolset under the "ArcGISPro Toolset.png Subsurface Analyst" toolset under the "ArcGISPro Toolbx Item.png ArcHydroGroundwater.pyt" toolbox. This tool creates features representing geophysical data. The tool will create point, line, and polygon features together with a scale bar to represent the geophysical data for use in an XS2D data frame.

ArcGIS Notes – In older versions of ArcGIS, this tool is accessed through the "Arc Hydro Groundwater Tools" toolbox. It appears as a dialog, not a pane.
The icons vary between ArcGIS and ArcGIS Pro.
The names of the fields in this tool might be different in ArcGIS. They should still be recognizable.
The order of the fields in this tool might be different in ArcGIS.

The following fields are available. Required fields are marked with a ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png icon. In ArcGIS, they are marked with a ArcGIS required - green circle icon.png icon. Fields marked with a ArcGIS Pro Warning Red.png icon may not be supported or the table may not exist.

  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png Input SectionLine Features – Click the ArcGISPro Open.png button to bring up the Input SectionLine Features dialog in order to specify the SectionLine features, which define the location of the vertical cross section data.
  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png HydroID of Section Line defining the cross section – Enter the ID of the SectionLine feature being used by the tool.
  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png Input XS2D_Catalog Table – Click the ArcGISPro Open.png button to bring up the Input XS2D_Catalog Table dialog in order to specify the XS2D_Catalog table, which manages data about the feature classes being used to represent cross section data. This table holds information about the geophysical data feature classes, and should be set up in advance with the Create XS2D Geophysical Plot Feature Classes tool.
  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png Input Well Features – Click the ArcGISPro Open.png button to bring up the Input Well Features dialog in order to specify the Well features, which are used as reference points for the geophysical data to plot. It's possible to select specific wells to tell the tool to operate exclusively on them.
  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png Input Table containing geophysical data – Click the ArcGISPro Open.png button to bring up the Input Table containing geophysical data dialog in order to specify the table containing the geophysical data. The table should include a WellID, which points back to the HydroID of the related Well feature, along with fields containing the depth and value for each geophysical data point.
  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png Geophysical Data WellID Field – Select from the drop-down the field in the geophysical data table that contains the ID of the well the data is related to. The WellID value points back to the HydroID attribute in the Well features.
  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png Geophysical Data Depth Field – Select from the drop-down the field in the Well features that specifies the depth values for the geophysical data table.
  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png Geophysical Data DataValue Field – Select from the drop-down the field containing the geophysical data values for the geophysical data table.
  • Append Features to Feature Classes – Optional. Turn on to append new features to the feature class. Turn off to clear existing features in the geophysical plot feature classes with the same FType as the value entered for this tool prior to adding new features.
  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png Well Ground Elevation (if not Z enabled) – Optional (unless Well features are not Z enabled). Select from the drop-down the field in the Well features that specifies the well ground elevation.
  • Data Type Field for filtering – Optional. Select from the drop-down the desired filtering data type. This might be used if your geophysical data table is organized such that all the geophysical observation values are stored in the same field, with a separate field representing the type of data being stored (such as gamma, resistivity, etc.). This way, you can filter out all of the data and only look at one particular data type. If your geophysical data is stored in a separate field for each data type, or your geophysical data table only contains one type of data, do not use this parameter.
  • Data Type value for filtering – Optional. Used only in conjunction with the "Data Type Field for filtering". This parameter specifies the geophysical data type to filter on when more than one data type is stored in the data value field.
Plot Options
  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png FType – Enter value which will be written to the FType field of all the feature created by the tool (e.g., resistivity).
  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png Width of Plot – Enter overall width in map units of the plot to create.
  • Plot Position – Select from a drop-down the position to create the plot in relation to the well. The options are:
    • Center
    • Left
    • Right
  • Scale Location – Select from a drop-down the position to place the scale bar in relation to the plot. The options are:
    • Top
    • Bottom
  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png Scale Vertical Offset – Enter the scale vertical offset to move the scale either up (+) or down (-) by the value (in map units) entered. If there is a vertical exaggeration applied to the cross section, it will also apply to the scale vertical offset. Leaving this at "0" will result in no change.
  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png Scale Label – Enter a text value that will be written into the ScaleLabel attribute of the scale bar features.
  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png Offset Factor – Enter the amount of distance (in map units) to offset the plot from its initial position defined by the "Plot Position" parameter. Leaving this at "0" will result in no change, positive numbers will move the plot to the right, and negative numbers will move the plot to the left.
  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png Maximum Scale Value – Enter maximum value of the scale.
  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png Minimum Scale Value – Enter minimum value of the scale.
  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png Number of Major Ticks – Enter the number of major ticks to create. There must be at least two major ticks: one for each end of the scale.
  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png Number of Minor Ticks Between Major Ticks – Enter the number of minor ticks to create between the major ticks.
  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png Vertical Buffer for Background Polygon – Enter the vertical buffer (in map units) by which to stretch the background polygon. If there is a vertical exaggeration applied to the cross section, it will also apply to the vertical buffer value.
