Creating a simple custom shading

Select the gear icon next to the Shading dropdown. This opens the configuration dialog.
Press the blue plus icon to add a new shading set.
Rename the shading to "Grade".
Drop down the Shading Field and select “Reserves: DryTonnes.FE”.
In the Values table, enter cutoff grades (such as 52, 54, 56, 58, 60) and assign a colour to each interval.
Press OK to accept.

7. In the Blasts/Digs panel on the right, from the Shading dropdown select the blasts shading you have created - Grade (Note that custom shadings are shown in bold orange, while standard shadings are shown in normal black).

8. Select Stage(s)/Bench(es) from the tree on the left to display them in the viewport and review the result.

Colors assigned for block shading can be seen in the Legend (bottom right, below the viewport).

Creating a complex blast shading

Select the gear icon next to the Shading dropdown. This opens the configuration dialog.
Press the blue plus icon to add a new shading set.
Rename the shading to "Data Source".
Click the Complex tab to open the code editor.
