Bench Templates store incremental heights, which are then used to divide regions into horizontal layers. The conformance per layer (bench) can then be reported against. Multiple templates can be created, with templates being able to be applied to different regions in the “Polygon Options” step. The steps to creating a standard and mixed heigh Bench Template are outlined below.

Create the bench height options to use in the project. You may choose a single template to cover all pits, or have multiple templates for different mine areas.

Standard Template
Press the blue plus icon to add a new bench template.
Rename the bench template to "12m".something meaningful, i.e. “10m”
In the Definition Benches panel, change the height value to 12.the desired height
In the Layers Result panel, show the pit(s) using this template.
Click through the bench list to see the preview in the 3D viewport.
...
the height increments will be shown
Turn on relevant surfaces from the layers panel. When iterating through the height increments, the region that falls within the currently selected increment will be highlighted
Create a mixed-height template
A mixed-height template allows for the height increments to be different values. This transition in heights occurs at a defined RL.
...
Press the blue plus icon to add a new bench template.
Rename the bench template to something meaningful, i.e. "10_5m".
In the Definition Benches panel, press Add to Bottom.
Change Set the transition RL to (for example) 800.
Change the height below 800RL to 5.
In the Layers panel, show the pit(s) using this template.
Click through the bench list to see the preview in the 3D viewport.
...
for the heights change, i.e. “800"
Set the heights below and above the transition RL
In the Result panel, the height increments will be shown
Turn on relevant surfaces from the layers panel. When iterating through the height increments, the region that falls within the currently selected increment will be highlighted
