Adding and Removing Waypoints

Waypoints are points on a road network which are specially flagged by the user. Below is a table showing what types of waypoints are available in Evolution.

Type Description
Source Represents an entry point onto the road network from the mining pit or a stockpile.
Destination Represents an exit point from the road network to a destination such as a mill, stockpile or a waste dump.
Permission Represents a point in a pathway which only accepts material transported by certain kinds of trucks.
Force Represents a point in a pathway which included trucks must pass through.

Evolution represents waypoints using what is best described as a 3D tear drop doughnut symbol.

To add a waypoint:

  1. Open the equipment setup and go to the Viewer tab.

  2. Go into Vertex selection mode.

  3. Select a point on the road network.

  4. Right-click to open the context menu and go to Waypoints.

  5. Set the waypoint to a particular source, destination or turn it into a force or permission point.

To delete a waypoint, stay in Vertex selection mode, select the waypoint by drawing a rectangle around it and hit the Delete key.

You can also delete waypoints by right-clicking the object in the View Manager and selecting the Remove option.
