Quickstart — your first section in 5 minutes

In 5 minutes you'll see GeoSection NX at work on a real example.

1. Open the app

Go to nx.geostru.ai/geosection/.

2. Load an example

Toolbar → Open example → pick a packaged dataset (real geotechnical boreholes with typical stratigraphy).

The app loads:

  • Map with the borehole locations.
  • Section trace already drawn.
  • Boreholes (3 to 6 typical holes).

3. Inspect the boreholes

Click a borehole on the map → the side panel opens with:

  • Layer stratigraphy (top, bottom, lithology, symbology).
  • Water-table depth.
  • Core photos (when available).
  • In-situ tests (SPT, CPT, …).

4. Generate the section

Click Generate section. GeoSection:

  1. Projects boreholes onto the trace (cumulative position along the polyline).
  2. Draws the stratigraphic columns of the boreholes.
  3. Linear interpolation between adjacent boreholes for horizons.
  4. Draws the water table as a blue line (dashed in transition zones).
  5. Generates the soil table at the bottom.

5. Export

Toolbar → Export:

  • SVG — vector for Inkscape, Illustrator, web.
  • DXF — vector for AutoCAD/BricsCAD.
  • PDF — paginated report ready for delivery.

Next steps

  • Full workflow — a real project from start to finish.
  • FAQ — questions about boreholes.
