Soil layer.

Property	Long name	Unit	Description
Name	Name	-	Name of the soil layer.
Comments	Comments	-	Comments on the soil layer.
UserFeatures	UserFeatures	-	UserFeatures of the soil layer.
Conditions	Conditions	-	Head The pore pressure distribution is hydrostatic and defined by the borehole head. Hydrostatic The pore pressure distribution is hydrostatic. Interpolate The pore pressure distribution is linearly interpolated from the pore pressures of the adjacent soil layers. Dry The pore pressure in the soil layer is equal to zero. User defined The pore pressure distribution is defined manually by giving the ptop and pbottom.
Zones	zones	-	Vertical positions of layer boundaries in the boreholes.
GeneratedSoilPolygons	Generated soil polygons	-	Includes information about pore pressure in each borehole in contact with soil layers boundaries detailing conditions, head, field data and all the soil information (material, preconsolidation, volume strain, and thermal and water conditions) per soil layer.
