The Point Solids step is used to assign visual properties to the objects defined in the previous tasks.

Static stockpiles dump destinations can be visually represented by a closed 3D design file (“.00t”, “.dtm”, “.dxf”) instead of by the traditional Haul Infinity icons. These triangulations will then appear in the animation and dynamically update throughout the schedule to show the fluctuating capacity of the dump point. The list of point solids will be populated from Stockpiles and Dumps defined in the Site Lists step.

In this step you can add solids, assign colors and bearings for the stockpiles and dumps.

To load the triangulation file, click the <…> button in the Solid column and select the relevant file.

Point solids step items

  1. Type column: select the type of object to display (for example, Stockpiles or Dumps). Note that this column displays items created or imported in the previous steps.

  2. Name column: displays the stockpile/dump name specified in the previous step.

  3. Solid column: import applicable solids (if any).

  4. Bearing column: select the relevant bearing.

  5. Layers panel tab: expand the hidden Layers tab to display layers and overlays. More details on this tab see here.

Make sure that all added solids are closed. Otherwise, an error message will be displayed, without resolving you will not be able to proceed to the next setup step.

Click the Eraser icon to erase all the changes and to remove the triangulation file imported for the selected item, and to return the record to its original state.
