Description

Flag Toe/Crest string

Allows you to apply standard Vulcan naming conventions to pit or dump strings.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Flag Toe/Crest string option for more information.

Tolerance

Allows you to set pre-defined distances and angle tolerances.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Tolerance option for more information.

Assign Berm/Batter values

Allows you to apply batter angles and berm widths to a pit or dump outline before projecting it.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Assign Berm/Batter values option for more information.

Condition String

Allows you to perform checks on the nominated toe or crest strings to determine if points must be added or deleted to satisfy certain conditions.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Condition String option for more information.

Project String

Allows you to create a projection of a pit/dump outline from a nominated angle to a nominated or relative level, or until it intersects a grid or triangulation model.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Project String option for more information.

Berm String

Allows you to project a berm or bench from a nominated pit or dump outline.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Berm String option for more information.

Auto Pit

Allows you to generate a pit or dump from a selected outline, using constant bench heights and widths.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Auto Pit option for more information.

Incline

Allows you to apply an inclination to a single bench (or berm) polygon.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Incline option for more information.

Multi Incline

Allows you to apply an inclination to a number of perimeter strings at once.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Multi Incline option for more information.

Geology

Allows you to load a database or ASCII map file containing drillhole locations, as well as grid mesh models into the current Vulcan window.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Geology option for more information.

Pairs

Allows you to create toe and crest strings by projecting from either toe, crest or mid bench strings.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Pairs option for more information.

Toes and Crests

Allows you to create toe and crest strings from a pit triangulation.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Toes and Crests option for more information.

Update Toe

Allows you to create advanced solids and lines in a simple and fast manner. These solids can be used to calculate reserves from a block model or to calculate volumes from a triangulation.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Update Toe option for more information.

Blocks

Allows you to create scheduling blocks through interactively cutting bench solids into smaller blocks.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Blocks option for more information.

Progress Maps

Allows you to create a progress map layer for each period based on current topography, pushback designs, and scheduling information.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Progress Maps option for more information.

Dump Design

Allows you to conduct fast and simple dump design and planning.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Dump Design option for more information.

Rehab Design

Allows you to generate a rehabilitated waste dump based on a current waste dump design. The resulting rehabilitated waste dump will be saved as a solid triangulation in a nominated directory.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Rehab Design option for more information.

Pit Topography

Allows you to generate an updated pit topography, pushback solid and topography intersection line for a previous topographic surface against a surface of a new pit design.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Pit Topography option for more information.

Long Section

Allows you to define a long-section line and the parameters for generating a prestrip model.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Long Section option for more information.

Prestrip

Allows you to generate a prestrip model along the planes set up through the Long Section option.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Prestrip option for more information.

Define Angles

Allows you to assign an angle value to one or more line segments.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Define Angles option for more information.

Planes

Allows you to create a plane around a nominated string.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Planes option for more information.

Move Pit\Dump Wall

Allows you to change the position of a pit wall.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Move Pit\Dump Wall option for more information.

Relimit

Allows you to move a wall to another position by relimiting to a triangulation.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Relimit option for more information.

Make Mask

Allows you to create a polygon around the walls of a pit.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Make Mask option for more information.

Phase Generator

Allows you to automatically calculate the tonnage or profit from a block model.

Refer to the Open Pit > Open Cut Design > Phase Generator option for more information.
