Auto Profile

This option creates triangulation section polygons and flags the resultant polygons in a way that identifies them for use in other options.

---

Instructions

On the Underground menu, point to Ring Design, then click Auto Profile.

Note:  If a blast database has not been selected yet, you will be directed to open a database using Underground > Ring Design > Open Blast Database before the Auto Profile panel is displayed.

Resultant Layer

Use this to create a name for the new layer that will hold the boundary polygons.

Layer name

Select a layer from the drop-down list, or enter a name for a new layer. The name of the new layer:

• may contain up to 40 characters,

• must begin with an alphanumeric character [0-9] or [a-z],

• cannot include spaces,

• can include hyphens [ - ], plus signs [ + ], underscores [ _ ], periods/dots [. ],

• can include the special characters of ÁÂÃÀÇÉÊÍÓÔÕÚÜÑ that are used in the Spanish and Portuguese languages.

Set as boundaries layer

Use this option to set this layer as the layer in the Open Blast Database panel Boundaries Layer.

Note:  If a boundaries layer has already been selected in the Open Blast Database panel, then selecting this option will cause that layer to be replace with the new one.

Input Triangulations

Select the triangulations that will be used to create the polygons.

Note:  You can also use this option to update existing polygons. To update you must select the layer that has the polygons you want to update. For downstream options to able to use the drive and stope polygons, there can only be one polygon per ring. If the option produces more than one drive or stope polygon per ring, you will need to delete all but the one polygon you want to use for that ring.

Drive triangulation

Select the drive triangulation by choosing it from the screen or selecting from the drop-down list.

Stope triangulation

Select the stope triangulation by choosing it from the screen or selecting from the drop-down list.

Additional triangulations

Select any additional triangulations that are used for clipping.
