SC. Surface Sets
As outlined in Domain Mappings, Spatial Conformetrics looks at the intersection of a production solid and a schedule solid. To generate these solids, a set of start and end surfaces needs to be defined for each solid type. These surfaces can be specified inside a surface set. Multiple surface sets can be created, which is useful when different pits have different production surfaces.
Creating a Surface Set
Press the blue plus button located in the toolbar of the Surface Sets panel.
Give the surface set a meaningful name, i.e., "Pit1/Stage1".
Provide the relevant surfaces by dragging the surface from the Layers panel or loading it in via file by clicking on the black downwards pointing arrow at the end of the cell.
A description of the surfaces that can be loaded is shown in the table 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 period |
The Schedule Future surface may be used to differentiate between "Over Dig" and "Out of Plan" material. See SC. Domain Mappings for more information.
