SC. Surface Sets

As outlined in Domain Mappings, Spatial Conformetrics looks at the intersection of a production solid and a schedule solid. To generate these solids, a set of start and end surfaces needs to be defined for each solid type. These surfaces can be specified inside a surface set. Multiple surface sets can be created, which is useful when different pits have different production surfaces.

Pit1 Surface Set

Creating a Surface Set

  1. Press the blue plus button located in the toolbar of the Surface Sets panel.

  2. Give the surface set a meaningful name, i.e., "Pit1/Stage1".

  3. Provide the relevant surfaces by dragging the surface from the Layers panel or loading it in via file by clicking on the black downwards pointing arrow at the end of the cell.

A description of the surfaces that can be loaded is shown in the table below.

Production Surfaces

Production Surfaces

Production Start

Survey surface from the opening date

Production End

Survey surface from the closing date

Schedule Surfaces

Schedule Start

Plan depletion surface from the opening date

Schedule End

Plan depletion surface from the closing date

Schedule Future

(Optional) Plan depletion surface for the next period

The Schedule Future surface may be used to differentiate between "Over Dig" and "Out of Plan" material. See SC. Domain Mappings for more information.
