Schedule Sequence step overview

Navigation

Drag the horizontal slider to move forward and backward through the transactions.
Use Previous Period and Next Period buttons to jump between time periods.
Click a row in the table to view a specific transaction by number, Period, Block Type, Block Name, percentage remaining, and possible errors.
Flag Show Missing Destinations and Show Missing Sources if you wish to display in the viewport dumps or sources outside of the imported solids.
Use the Layers panel to import and toggle different designs and surfaces. For more details about this panel, functionality see here.
Use Generate Stage Plan button to create a Zip, File or Layer of a specified state or period. More details see in the section below.
Use the Legend to see blocks color-coding.

Generating Stage Plan

Press the Generate Stage Plans button and select the relevant export option.

Exporting options

Option	Description

Option	Description
To Zip	A zip file containing a stage plan for each or selected periods.
To File	A single stage plan exported to file.
To Layer	A single stage plan exported to the Layers panel.

If “To File” or “To Layer” was chosen, additional export options will appear.

Option	Description

Option	Description
Current View	A stage plan will be generated for the period currently selected in the record transaction table.
Initial State	A stage plan will be generated based on the initial state of the imported solids.
End of Period	A stage plan will be generated based on the state of the solids at the end of defined period.

Stage Plan Settings

Settings	Description

Settings	Description
Surfaces
Topo	Specified Topo surface will be stitched into the stage plan.
Pit Designs	Specified Pit Design surface will be stitched into the stage plan.
Dump Designs	Specified Dump Design surface will be stitched into the stage plan.
Options
Clip Blocks by Design	Clips any blocks that extend below the pit design or above the dump design.
Grid Constraints	‘Full Extents’ includes all data in the stage plan. ‘Blocks’ limits the data in the stage plan to only selected Blocks.
Grid Resolution	Grid size of the resulting stage plan. Smaller grid size will give a more detailed surface at the price of processing time and file size.
Surface Morphing
Surface	Survey surface which contains the current face positions.
Method
Vertical	Material from the Schedule Solid will be depleted vertically and repositioned in the void that exists between the Production Surface and Schedule Solid. This method honors the volume of the void and the volume filling it. Once the void has been filled, any excess material will occupy the foot print of the original solid but at a reduced height.
Horizontal	Material from the Schedule Solid will be depleted horizontally and repositioned in the void that exists between the Production Surface and Schedule Solid. Material will fill the void in the opposite direction as the solid is being depleted. This method honors the volume of the void and the volume filling into it. Once the void has been filled, any excess material will be left at its original height but occupy a reduced foot print of the original solid.
Forced	Material from the Schedule Solid will be repositioned in the void that exists between the Production Surface and Schedule Solid. This method does not honor the volume of the void and the volume of material going into it. Once the void has been filled, any excess material will be thrown away.
