The Sample Project
Add a New Vertically Bored GHEX
Now that you have defined a zone we need to add the specifications for our ground heat exchanger. For this project we will be using a vertically bored GHEX but once we are 
done, you can go back and experiment with adding horizontally bored or horizontally trenched options to the design.

button in your tool tray.
HINT: In the future, if you click on the GHEX button by mistake, you can hide the dropdown list by clicking anywhere else on the page.
