Locating rock bolts automatically with Rock Bolt Detection

1. On the Query ribbon tab, go to the Rock Bolts group and select Rock Bolt Detection.

   The Rock Bolt Detection panel appears.



2. From the Bolt type drop down list, select a bolt type to search for, or select Manage... to create a custom bolt (see Creating a custom bolt below).

   

3. Select Floor Filter and enter a Height limit to set the minimum scanning height (meters). Only points above this limit will be scanned.

4. Name, select or drag in the Destination container. The default container is scrapbook.

5. Click OK or Apply. The rock bolt detection tool will find all the rock bolts and place them in a sub-container labelled rock bolts.

Creating a custom bolt

If a bolt type is not available in the drop down list, you can create it using the rock bolt type manager tool. To create a custom bolt, select Manage... from the Bolt type drop-down list of the rock bolt detection tool.

Enter the new bolt type's details as appropriate and click Save.

In the above example we created a custom bolt type named New Bolt that is 1 m long, with a protrusion of 10 cm, to be coloured orange in the view window.
