Geometry
The pile label, number, type, location, and Ground Slope angle are specified in the Geometry tab.
Label and Numbering
Piles are automatically numbered sequentially, regardless of whether piles are added individually, in groups, or in patterns. No two piles can be assigned the same number. The label for the pile can be edited in the Prefix field. The format of the pile number and prefix can be edited in the Display Options.
