# Versions 9.0.6 and 9.0.7 - General Adaptations

With the release of object type versions **9.0.6** and **9.0.7**, both major and minor adjustments were made to the object type **Geotechnical Investigation EN ISO 22475 (2018)** \[ENISO002] and its associated geotechnical data types.

These changes include:

* Adaptations to **DIN 18196 (2023)**
* Adaptations to **DIN 4023 (2023)**
* Improvements to dictionaries, layouts, visualization, data input, and output formats

This page describes the **general adaptations** to the object type.\
\
[Structural changes to geotechnical data types](/object-types/geotechnical-investigation-en-iso-22475/versions-9.0.6-and-9.0.7-structural-changes.md) are documented separately and should be reviewed **before updating**.

## Reference: Corrections

### Adjustment of the Output for System Variables

The output of the system variables:

* `$TRPLUS` (+ / and)
* `$TRMINUS` (− / to)

is now displayed **without inverted commas**.

### Discontinuities

* Multiple keys can now be entered in the field **Roughness (TF\_RAUIG)**

**Screenshot placeholder:**\
`E2_discontinuities_roughness.png`

* The default value for the input field **Type of structure (TYP\_TF)** has been removed\
  This enables the deletion of an existing layer.

## Reference: Adaptations to DIN standards

### Adaptation to DIN 18196 (2023)

#### Soil Groups

Three new soil groups according to **DIN 18169 (2023)** have been added to the dictionary:

**Dictionary:** `(E2) Soil group` \[E2BOHGR]

* Large boulders (BG)
* Boulders (BL)
* Cobbles (BS)

### Adaptation to DIN 4023 (2023)

#### Adaptation of Dictionaries for Major and Secondary Components

**Major Components**

**Dictionary:** `(E2) Major components` \[E2PSTYPE]

The following changes were implemented:

* Added entries:
  * *coarse silt*
  * *large boulder*
* Standard text for **organic soil \[EN ISO]** changed from `OR` to `O`\
  (only for the standard **DIN EN ISO (deutsch)**)
* English translation for **DIN EN ISO (deutsch)** adapted\
  (previously displayed in capital letters)

![](/files/yKBuHcXWQVs5KC6Xs1S8)

**Secondary Components**

**Dictionary:** `(E2) Secondary components` \[E2SSTYPE]

The following changes were implemented:

* Added entry:
  * *coarse silty*
* Standard text changes (only for **DIN EN ISO (deutsch)**):
  * *organic \[DIN]*: `h` -> `o`
  * *organic \[EN ISO]*: `h` -> `o`

#### Adaptation of Fill Patterns

Fill patterns have been adapted to match the **colour values defined in DIN 4023**.

For the standard **DIN EN ISO (deutsch)**, fill patterns were updated for the following dictionaries:

* `(E2) Major components` \[E2PSTYPE]
* `(E2) Secondary components` \[E2SSTYPE]
* `(E2) Genesis` \[E2GENESE]
* `(E2) Well design - back fill` \[E2ASBVER]
* `(E2) Well design - casing` \[E2ROHEL]

## Reference: Visualisation adaptations

### Adaptation of the Display for WRT Cutting Conditions

New visualisations were introduced for the following conditions:

* *Highly jointed* / *Very highly jointed* (graphic type 46)
* *Liquid* (graphic type 45)

This was achieved by adapting the dictionary:

**Dictionary:** `(E2) Condition WRT cuttings` \[E2BOHGUT]

<figure><img src="/files/8gUThTuvhFmbGqE7vpnJ" alt=""><figcaption><p>Borehole-log visualisation of the new cutting conditions - "Limestone, highly jointed" (left) and "Topsoil, liquid" (right).</p></figcaption></figure>

### Adaptation of the Display for Weathering Grade

A new visualisation was introduced for the weathering stage **Residual soil** (graphic type 43) for the standard **DIN EN ISO (German)**.

**Dictionary:** `(E2) Weathering grades` \[E2VERWIT]

For visualisation, the graphic element **Special symbol** with the special symbol type **Weathering grade** can be used.

### Adaptation of Sample Visualisation

Samples of **category A-E** are now displayed **uniformly in full colour** for the standards:

* DIN EN ISO (deutsch)
* INT (english)

**Exception:** Water samples

**Screenshot placeholder:**\
`E2_samples_categoy_A-E.png`

  * 2 - slightly
  * 4 - very
* Translations have been added for:

  * *very* (`$TRCODE4B`)

#### Sample Type

**Dictionary:** `(E2) Sample type` \[E2PROBAR]

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.geodin.com/object-types/geotechnical-investigation-en-iso-22475/versions-9.0.6-and-9.0.7-general-adaptations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
