To really do this, you need modeling software like Vulcan. These programs are amazing and have great capabilities.

Reply:I have previously used three methods depending on what was generally available on-site and what the client specified. The first being to record the individual layers of the pit with their corresponding characteristics i.e. color, soil type, depth, moisture, etc. and create a profile using auto cad or microstation.





The second method is to actually get into the hole and take a digital picture of the pit wall. Then edit the picture by adding in the approximate layers breaks on the picture along with the other characteristics mentioned above. Of course, this method depends on the size of the pit.





The last is to use logging software such as GINT or even just MS Excel to provide a boring log of sorts with each layer broken down according to their characteristics.





Hope this help.
