RR Blast Custom Shading
- Gemma O'Farrell (Unlicensed)
In the Designer tab > Display panel > Blast section > Shading dropdown > there is a preloaded list of automatic shadings for the level hierarchy and reserves fields. We can add to this list by configuring custom shading sets.
Create 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.
Simple shading set on Fe grade.
Blasts shaded by average Fe grade (all materials)
Create 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.
Paste in the sample code below.
Press OK to accept.
Custom shading for Excluded, Grade Control, and Block Model blasts.
Blasts shaded by data source.
