Tool set of geologic hatch patterns and map-unit markups for coloring and patterning geologic maps, cross sections, and boring logs, following the FGDC Digital Cartographic Standard for Geologic Map Symbolization (FGDC-STD-013-2006) and its Pattern Chart. This tool set covers 4 categories with 617 tools, available in a standard version (black patterns, the standard's map-unit colors) and a redline version. Each of the 206 hatch patterns comes as two tools: a Polygon markup and an Area measurement markup that reports its area, both with a transparent background so a map-unit color shows through. The pattern density and color can be changed in Properties. The map-unit colors are Polygon markups in the standard's colors, the age labels carry the standard's geologic age symbols with an editable unit letter, and the fossil symbols are vector snapshots that can be moved, resized, rotated, and recolored. Every tool is named after its pattern number or FGDC reference number, so placed markups list and count by name in the Markups List.

Examples of tools included:

  • Overprint patterns
    • 89 patterns of the Pattern Chart, series 100 to 500: surficial, sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic and miscellaneous, glacial, and periglacial patterns
    • Dots, ovals, specks, lines, bars, dashes, chevrons, plus signs, grids, triangles, marsh tufts, cobbles, and polygon nets
    • Each pattern as a Polygon tool and an Area tool
  • Lithology patterns
    • 117 patterns, 601 to 733: gravel, conglomerate, breccia, sand and sandstone, siltstone, shale, limestone, dolostone, chert, coal, peat, till, and loess
    • Metamorphic and igneous rocks: schist, gneiss, granite, tuff, porphyritic and igneous rock options, quartz, and ore
    • Each pattern as a Polygon tool and an Area tool
  • Map-unit colors and age labels
    • 109 map-unit color fills from the standard's suggested colors, by geologic age from Quaternary to Precambrian and for volcanic and plutonic rocks
    • 34 geologic age labels from Cenozoic to pre-Archean, with an editable unit letter
  • Fossil symbols
    • 61 fossil symbols: invertebrates, trilobites, brachiopods, corals, crinoids, ammonoids, gastropods, vertebrates, fish, mammals, plants, trace fossils, tracks, and microfossils from foraminifera to pollen
    • The fossil locality symbol with an editable locality number

The 206 hatch patterns are also included as a hatch pattern set (Geologic Hatch Patterns) for any other markup.

Delivered as a Bluebeam Revu profile that loads all 4 tool sets and the hatch pattern set in one import, plus the individual tool set files and the hatch pattern set file, in standard and redline versions.

How to use

  • Import the profile (Revu > Profiles > Manage Profiles > Import, or double-click the .bpx file), or import single tool sets from the Tool Chest (Manage Tool Sets > Import).
  • Pattern and color tools: click a tool, click around the area, and double-click to finish. Draw the map-unit color first and the pattern over it.
  • Age labels and fossil symbols: click a tool, then click the sheet.
