Overview

The Ramps submenu contains tools for the creation of open cut mine designs with ramps or haul roads. For the creation of open cut mine designswithoutramps or haulroads, that is, straight projections, use the Open Cut Design submenu.

The creation of a mine design with ramps is performed through the Design Pit/Dump option, which applies berm widths and batter angles to entire strings. To apply different batter angles and berm widths to different line segments in a string, use the Assign Berm/Batter values option.

The remainder of the options in the Ramps submenu allow you to further enhance the design. These options include fitting of curves to haul road centrelines, expanding centre lines to the required road widths, applying grades.
