SC. Settings
In the Settings section you may set units of measurements, options and thresholds to use in the project.
Enter all global settings to change the behaviour of the project.
Units
Select the units of measurement which match your site coordinate system and local standards.
Units |
|
|---|---|
Quick Set | Use the Quick Set dropdown to select Metric or Imperial units of measurement |
Options
In this section you can configure parameters of your model.
Options | |
|---|---|
Use Block Model | Toggle to use block models for reserving |
Generate Stage Plans | Optional feature to generate stage plans from scheduling blocks |
Grid Size (Reserving) (m) | Grid spacing to use in reserving calculations |
Grid Size (Solids) (m) | Grid spacing to use in 3D solid visualization and export solids |
Minimum Height Threshold (m) | Set this value to discard trivial solids from being displayed |
Minimum Bench Volume (m3) | Set this value to discard trivial volumes from reporting |
Please take note when reducing the Grid Size for Solids and Reserves that there is a trade-off in the calculation time. That is, smaller the value the longer the calculations will take. There are negligible gains to be made from reducing the Grid Size from 1 to 0.1 however, the processing time will increase significantly. The recommendation is to start with values of 5 & 5 and inspect the resultant values. If desired, reduce the Grid Size values and quantify the change in values and the time taken. From this information, you should be able to identify if any significant gains are made and if they are worth the time trade-off.
Hatch Patterns
In the Hatch Patterns fields select a pattern from dropdown to outline different areas for active and inactive polygons.
Hatch Patterns |
|
|---|---|
Active Polygon Hatch | Select a pattern from dropdown to outline active polygon |
Invert Active Polygon Hatch | Toggle to show the pattern inside the polygon. Area which is inside the polygon is called “Active Polygon Area” |
Inctive Polygon Hatch | Select a pattern from dropdown to outline inactive polygon |
