As outlined in Domain Mappings, Spatial Conformetrics looks at the intersection of a production solid and a schedule solid generated from a set of start and end surfaces. Creating the production and schedule solids is completed in the "Surface Sets" step.
Creating a Surface Set
Press the blue plus button located in the toolbar of the Polygons panel
Give the surface set a meaningful name, i.e., "Pit1/Stage1".
Provide the relevant surfaces, which are outlined below.
Production Surfaces | |
|---|---|
Production Start | Survey surface from the opening date |
Production End | Survey surface from the closing date |
Schedule Surfaces | |
Schedule Start | Plan depletion surface from the opening date |
Schedule End | Plan depletion surface from the closing date |
Schedule Future | (Optional) Plan depletion surface for the next time period |
Multiple surface sets can be created having different start and end surfaces. Surface sets are then applied to defined regions in the following "Polygons" step.
The Schedule Future surface may be used to differentiate between "Over Dig" and "Out of Plan" material. See SC. Domain Mappings for more information.
