Soil Layers
The sequence and thickness of soil layers is defined in the Soil Layers dialog. Any number of layers can be defined, however it is assumed that all soil layers are horizontal and continuous. Each layer is assigned a soil type from the Soil Properties dialog.

If you are modeling time dependent consolidation, the soil layers dialog will allow you to define the drainage condition at the bottom of each layer.

Soil Layers: Editing
Soil properties and soil layers can be easily edited, allowing you to quickly carry out parametric analysis. For example, if you right-click on a soil layer in the 3D view, you can quickly access the Soil Properties or Soil Layers dialog from the popup menu. This will take you directly to the properties of the layer on which you clicked.

You can also right-click on the soil profile displayed in the sidebar depth control, for shortcuts to the Soil Layers and Soil Properties dialogs.
