Generate Cross Sections Automatically With QNOPY's Soil Studio

A field-to-report workflow built for environmental and geotechnical teams

Every time new boring logs or monitoring well data come in, building a cross section usually means starting over, redrawing in a separate CAD tool, re-entering data by hand, or updating a file that's already out of sync with the field. For teams managing lithology, stratigraphy, and groundwater data across dozens of borings, that rework adds up fast. Soil Studio, QNOPY's boring log and cross section tool, removes that step entirely.

From Field Data to Finished Cross Section - Automatically

Once your borehole and monitoring well data is in QNOPY, logged in the field with Speech-to-Form, entered through Guided Soil Classification, or imported from existing records, Soil Studio builds the cross section directly from that same dataset. No separate app, no manual redrawing, no second file to keep in sync.

Because the visualization stays connected to your project data, a cross section that used to take hours now comes together in seconds, and it updates automatically as new logs and readings come in, so what you're sharing is always current.

Geologically Accurate Interpretations

Automatic doesn't mean oversimplified. Soil Studio lets you show pinch-outs where a layer terminates between boreholes, so missing strata are represented accurately instead of being artificially connected across the gap.

Personalize It Your Way

No two investigations are the same, and your cross sections shouldn't be either. The Display Panel gives you full control over vertical exaggeration, layer visibility, data overlays, and borehole width; no redrawing required.

Client-Ready Reporting, Ready to Export

A generated cross section isn't just a plot of soil layers; it's a finished deliverable. Soil Studio auto-places boring locations on an aerial map, stamps the section with the generation date, location count, distance, vertical range, scale, and groundwater status, and carries your firm's own logo, so there's no extra formatting before it goes to a client or regulator. When it's ready, export to PDF, DXF, KML, JSON, GINT, or LogPlot, the formats many teams already use, so moving from a legacy drafting workflow to QNOPY doesn't mean losing compatibility.

Why It Matters

Less redrawing means more time for analysis. Because QNOPY connects field collection, lab data, and reporting in one platform, your data is entered once and part of why environmental and geotechnical teams in 25 countries already run their projects on QNOPY.
