Increment offsets may be used to force a minimum or maximum vertical lag between phases. 

Every bench at elevation "E" in the Successor stage is made dependent on the bench at elevation "E+Offset" in the Predecessor stage. Offsets may be positive or negative. 

To add an Increment Offset

  1. Press the clipboard icon to add a new rule group.

  2. Rename the rule group (i.e. mining rules, backfill rules, land-bridge rules).

  3. Using the tree hierarchy on the right, select the successor record and double click on the predecessor.

  4. Set vertical offset in the Vertical Offset column in metres:

    1. Negative to keep the successor elevated over the predecessor,

    2. Positive to keep the predecessor elevated over the successor.

  5. Verify the dependencies in the Preview panel.
