  • Drag the slider to move forward and backward through the transactions.

  • Use Previous Period and Next Period buttons to jump between time periods.

  • Click a row in the CSV rows table to view a specific transaction by number, Period, Block Type, Block Name, percentage minedremaining, and possible errors.

  • Use the Layers panel to import and toggle different designs and surfaces. More For more details about this panel, functionality see here.

Description

All Periods

A zip file containing a stage plan for each period

To File

A single stage plan exported to file

To Layer

A single stage plan exported to the layers panel

If “To File” or “To Layer” was chosen, additional export options will appear.

Option

Description

Current View

A stage plan will be generated for the period currently selected in the record transaction table.

Initial State

A stage plan will be generated based on the initial state of the imported solids.

End of Period

A stage plan will be generated based on the state of the solids at the end of defined period.

Description

Surfaces

Topo

Specified Topo surface will be stitched into the stage plan.

Pit Designs

Specified Pit Design surface will be stitched into the stage plan.

Dump Designs

Specified Dump Design surface will be stitched into the stage plan.

Options

Clip Blocks by Design

Clips any blocks that extend below the pit design or above the dump design.

Grid Constraints

‘Full Extents includes all data in the stage plan. ‘Blocks’ limits the data in the stage plan to only selected Blocks.

Grid Resolution

Grid size of the resulting stage plan. Smaller grid size will give a more detailed surface at the price of processing time and file size.

Surface Morphing

Suface

Suvery surface which contains the current face positions.

Method

Vertical

Material from the Schedule Solid will be depleted vertically and repositioned in the void that exists between the Productuion Surface and Schedule Solid. This method honors the volume of the void and the volume filling it. Once the void has been filled, any excess material will occupy the foot print of the orignal solid but at a reduced height.

Image Added

Horizontal

Material from the Schedule Solid will be depleted horizontally and repositioned in the void that exists between the Productuion Surface and Schedule Solid. Materil will fill the void in the opposite direction as the solid is being depleted. This method honors the volume of the void and the volume filling into it.Once the void has been filled, any excess material will be left at its original height but occupy a reduced foot print of the original solid.

Image Added

Forced

Material from the Schedule Solid will be repositioned in the void that exists between the Productuion Surface and Schedule Solid. This method does not honor the volume of the void and the volume of material going into it.

...

Once the void has been filled, any excess material will be thrown away.
