The following exercises focus on managing blocks, connecting them to the network and applying on-bench travel rules.

Blocks Panel

The blocks panel is where blocks can be selected, hidden, and centred in the viewport.

1. Open SampleModelWithBlocks.hinf from the sample data folder.
2. Select "show blocks" from the top button menu.
3. Open the Blocks panel in the bottom left of the Network tab.
4. Expand the block tree.

6. When you tick a row in the tree, that row should be permanently visible in the viewport.
7. When you double click a row, it should centre those blocks in the viewport.

13. Press the cog icon to open the Setup Blocks menu.
    1. Enter different values for the travel level, travel alignment, and block type.
    2. Press okay to accept.

Block Joins

The distance traveled between a block and the network is called the "auto-join". Blocks automatically connect to the network at the same elevation within the auto-join distance of the bench. Users can then deselect auto-joins as required, or add their own manual joins.
