Method

Vertical

Material from the Schedule Solid will be depleted vertically and repositioned in the void that exists between the Production 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 original solid but at a reduced height.

Horizontal

Material from the Schedule Solid will be depleted horizontally and repositioned in the void that exists between the Production Surface and Schedule Solid. Material 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.

Forced

Material from the Schedule Solid will be repositioned in the void that exists between the Production 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.
