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. |
