  • Benches with high estimated contour have a high value in the EstCon column.

• Draw (or extend) polygons to encompass shallow floors or batter trims.

• For each polygon, choose to Send Down, Remove the interior area, or if an area is to be mined with the bench above, choose to Send Up.

• The default setting is Send Down, to update click on the polygon and go to properties window beneath the graphics window and click the drop down arrow.
