Merge blocks that share common sides, to create a single new block.
Create a block on the current section, either above or below the topography, specified by a template or block profile. This option is most useful for creating moveable blocks on the fly, from areas that are below the topography, yet outside the limits of your initial, in situ block layouts.
Remove a block from the current section and update the current topography. This option is most useful for simulating truck and shovel operations.
Export a block on the current section, to another section or to the same section.
Make a block on the current section invisible and class it as 'null'. This option is most useful in situations where an in situ block does not need to be moved, and hence should be ignored.
Select a dragline from the dragline database, to use on the current section.
Set the dragline position on the current section.
Remove the dragline extents box from the current section.
Undo all of the other options on the Move Blocks submenu, that have been carried out on the current section.
