Beginning with GeoStudio 2007, you no longer apply boundary conditions to nodes and element edges as you used to. Now you can only put boundary conditions on points and lines.
At first that doesn’t seem very different, but you quickly run into a problem when you want to add a pressure boundary only partway up a slope:

The trick is to split the line in two. You can do that using the Draw Points command, and adding a point where you want to split the line. It then becomes two lines, and you can apply the boundary condition to only the one you want.
