- Run the schedule
- Go to the Animation tab > Animation panel
- Drag the slider to a point in time, or select a period from the dropdown selector

Stage plan dialog options
Stage plan dialog:
| Field | Usage |
|---|---|
| Grid resolution | Grid size to use in creating the stage plan. |
| Surfaces > Topos | Pits | Dumps | If selected, the stage plan will stitch together the block depletion surface, the pit walls, the topography, and the dump walls. |
| Clip Blocks by Pit & Dump Designs | If selected, any block which projects below a pit design or above a dump surface will be clipped back to design. |
| Grid Constraint | 'Full Extents' includes all data in the stage plan. 'Limit to Blocks' includes only the selected Blocks Subset in the stage plan. |
| Grid Constraint Expand Distance | Limits the stage plan generation to a given radius around the scheduling blocks. |
| Blocks Subset | The block depletion surface is created from the selected blocks. Can be used to create cut-only surfaces, excluding dumps and backfill. |
