In the Stage Plans > Schedule Sequence step you can review the mining schedule.
Navigation
Drag the slider to move forward and backward through the transactions.
Use Previous Period and Next Period buttons to jump between time periods.
Click in the CSV rows to view a specific transaction by number, Period, Block Type, Block Name, percentage mined, and possible errors.
Use the Layers panel to import and toggle different designs and surfaces. More details about this panel functionality see here.
For users of third-party scheduling applications, press the Import Schedule button to import from CSV.
Generate Stage Plans
Press the Generate Stage Plans button and select the appropriate export option.
Generate Stage Plans for All periods
To generate stage plans for all periods:
Press Generate Stage Plans button.
Select “All Periods” option.
In the Save As window specify a saving path and file name. All periods file will be saved in “.zip” format.
Export Stage Plans window will open, where you can specify export stage plans settings.
Path | View or change saving path to a working folder of exported stage plans file. |
---|---|
Block Records tree | Flag block records/levels to include in export. |
Surfaces
| Select layers of Topography, Pits and Dumps designs to include in the stage plans export. |
File Format | Select file export format: *.00t”, *.dtm, *.dxf, *.csv, *.obj. |
Clip Blocks by Design | Clips any blocks that extend below the pit design or above the dump design. Clip Blocks by Design shouldn’t be used except in advanced use cases - it may lead to unexpected results. |
Include Period name in File Name | Flag to include the period name in the exported stage plans file name. |
Grid Constraints
|
|
Limit Expand Distance (m) | Clips out topography and designs farther than this distance from the blocks (this option is displayed only if “Blocks” grid constraint is selected). |
Grid Resolution (m) | Grid size of the resulting stage plan. |
Generate Stage Plans to File
When generating stage plans to file you have three export options, available through Generate Stage Plans button > To File option dropdown:
Current View
Initial State
End of Period > specify end of period, as required.
In the Save As window specify a saving path, file name and file format (*.00t”, *.dtm, *.dxf, *.csv, *.obj).
Export Stage Plans window will open, where you can specify export stage plans settings.
Path | View or change saving path to a working folder of exported stage plans file. |
---|---|
Block Records tree | Flag block records/levels to include in export. |
Surfaces
| Select layers of Topography, Pits and Dumps designs to include in the stage plans export. Optionally select a matching survey surface. This is used to detect the actual mining direction to use in each scheduling block. |
Clip Blocks by Design | Clips any blocks that extend below the pit design or above the dump design. Clip Blocks by Design shouldn’t be used except in advanced use cases - it may lead to unexpected results. |
Grid Constraints
|
|
Limit Expand Distance (m) | Clips out topography and designs farther than this distance from the blocks (this option is displayed only if “Blocks” grid constraint is selected). |
Grid Resolution (m) | Grid size of the resulting stage plan. |
Generate Stage Plans to Layer
When generating stage plans to layer you have three export options, available through Generate Stage Plans button > To Layer option dropdown:
Current View
Initial State
End of Period > specify end of period timeframe, as required.
To generate stage plans to layer:
Press Generate Stage Plans button.
Select “To Layer” option and specify a period required.
Export Stage Plans window will open, where you can specify export stage plans settings.
Block Records tree | Flag block records/levels to include in export. |

Limit Expand Distance (m) | Clips out topography and designs farther than this distance from the blocks (this option is displayed only if “Blocks” grid constraint is selected). |
Grid Resolution (m) | Grid size of the resulting stage plan. |
Generated to layers Stage Plans will be added to the Layers panel.
If a block is partially mined at the selected date, then the stage plan will apply a mining direction that matches the Survey Actual surface.
