Tool for the automatic creation of block shapes based on defined parameters.
Description of each option see below:
Select a level from the dropdown where to generate automatic blast shapes: Selected/Current/Visible Blasts/Benches Dlitches and Digs.
Generate Ramp Shots
Flag this option to automatically create a closed polygon around a section of ramp that is less than a user-defined depth.
Enter the Ramp Shot Minimum and Maximum Angles (in degrees).
By default, ramp shots are displayed in blue.
Generate Trim Shots
Flag this option to automatically create closed polygons around a section of Bench/Flitch against the wall.
Note that for Trim Shots to be generated, the wall area must be defined in the Wall Control Designs step.
Set Trim Shot Length and Width (in meters).
By default, ramp shots are displayed in green.
Generate Internal Shots
Flag this option to automatically create closed polygons around of Internal (Production) Shots.
Fitted Blasts | Generating blasts following the Bench/Flitch contour. |  |
Straight Grid | Straight gris across the Bench/Flitch. |  |
Size X and Size Y | Set the Size X and Size Y to the blast dimensions. Note that for medium or long-term planning (ATS), size of the blocks should be relatively large, while for shorter planning horizons (APS) they can be smaller in order to provide more details when sequencing mining. The smaller the size of the blocks, the longer it takes to generate and process them. Keep this in mind when working with larger mines models. | |
