SC. Conformance tab
- iarmstrong
Once you finish your conformance project setup, populating all the data required and running all the steps, the Conformance tab becomes available.
In this tab, you can review site conformance, display pit benches and dump lifts of interest, view and configure custom reports, export conformance data in various formats.

The Conformance tab consists of four main parts, some of which include additional tabs and panels. For a detailed description of each, see below:
Overlays panel
The Overlays panel is used to work with layers, surfaces and domains.
Layers panel
The top Layers panel is common for all Alastri apps and is used to add and toggle pits, dumps and topos layers. For a full description of the Layers panel icons and its functions see here.
Surfaces panel
The Surfaces panel is used to toggle surfaces to display in the viewport. These surfaces and their colours are configured in the Surface Sets setup step.
Domains panel
The Domains panel is used to toggle domains to display in the viewport. These domains and their colours are configured in the Domain Mapping setup step.
Viewport
The Viewport provides a graphical representation of all the 3D conformance solids of Reserves and Dumps on your mine site. The user can select the levels to be displayed (pit/stage/bench), switch to the display of dumps or open pits, display or hide schedule and production surfaces, zoom in to one or multiple solids, etc.
Toolbar
The toolbar is provided on top of the viewport. Use these tools to see and interact with the 3D design area.

| Use the scale bar to estimate distances and scale in the viewport. |
Compass
The compass widget sits in the top right of the viewport.
Plan View | Click on the axis cones to snap to orthogonal views | |
|---|---|---|
Zoom Extents | Click on the grey cube to zoom to extents | |
Night Mode | Click on the sun icon to toggle night mode |
Information panel
The Information panel is the main area to review Polygons and Reserve information, interact with Cross-section tool, review charts and configure and export Reports.
Cross-Section tab
Click in the Cross-Section panel to view cutaways of the conformance solids.
Press the cross-section icon from the top toolbar to begin.
Click and drag on the screen to define the breadth and bearing of the section plane.
To reset the cross-section line, simply click in the desired location and start stretching the A<-->B line, or click the minus icon in the upper left corner of the bottom panel.
Zoom, pan and vertically exaggerate the view inside the Cross-Section panel.
Step forward and backward with the blue up/down arrow icons in the Cross-Section panel.
Toggle layers in the Surfaces and Domains panels to display different Production or Schedule surfaces or Domains.
Set the step size as required.
Reserves tab
Open the Reserves panel to compare the actual and scheduled reserves.
In the Domain list, use the checkboxes to show and hide different reserves groups.
In the Fields dropdown, toggle fields you wish to display in the left list.
In the Parcels dropdown, toggle parcels you wish to display in the top row.
Use the Min/Max toggle to inspect the data for missing or rubbish values.
Use the Export button to export Reserves data to Excel, Text or CSV format.
Table tab
The Table tab is where you can review the reports configured in the Table Options step. Configured reports will appear in the Table panel.
The settings in Setup > Settings > Options may cause greater or lesser degrees of accuracy in the solid calculations.
Each scheduled component in the Report table contains an Error row — the greater the error, the lower the accuracy of the result.
Aim to keep Error-values lower than 1%. This can be achieved with tighter reserving grid sizes and lower minimum height thresholds.
Waterfall tab
Open the Waterfall tab to see the conformance chart.
Select polygon/bench from Benches panel to display a chart for it. You can select single RL or multiple using <CTRL> and <SHIFT> keys.
Use the Chart Field dropdown to select data to display (will be shown on the left).
Hover the mouse cursor over bars to see detailed information.
Press Copy to Clipboard button to save the current chart view.
The left "Planned" component is always 100%.
The right "Production" component is the ratio of (Cut / Scheduled).
The subtotals of each "Planned" and "Production" component are shown in the waterfall from left to right.
Benches panel
The Benches panel contains a tree structure listing all polygons/benches in a certain order, i.e. Pit - Stage - Bench.
By selecting a record, its polygons will display in the Viewport.
You may select the whole pit or stage by clicking on it.
Use <CTRL> and <SHIFT> hotkeys to select multiple benches.
Double click on the tree level to zoom to its polygon in the Viewport.
Various Export options available via Benches panel are described in the child section.
