Intended Workflow – Backs/Walls Mapping

The workflow for Backs and Walls Mapping was designed to be run in the following order:

  1. Mapping > Load Drive Layer

    Loads and sets visibility of design data filtered on a particular level of interest. The tool will load only the layer for that particular level and filter the survey stations (coordinate reference points) from two other survey stations layers. This panel will remember the settings from the last time the tool was run.

  2. Mapping > Add Station

    Note:  If required.

    Creates a user defined Survey Station (coordinate reference point) in the ‘User Stations Layer’ (defined in the User Stations Layer parameter in the Survey Station Layers section of the Global settings) and labels it. This panel will remember the settings from the last time the tool was run.

  3. Mapping > Backs Mapping/Walls Mapping

    Creates a mapping template from survey pickup strings and creates a section view to allow the plan-view mapping of underground geological information in the backs (roof of the drive). Also creates incremented measurements away from a given reference point.

  4. Mapping > Line To Samples

    Enables the quick and easy digitising of a face sample line and storing of logging and sampling data into a drillhole database.

  5. Mapping > Feature Lines

    Allows the quick digitising of lines using predetermined features.

  6. Mapping > Lines To Polygons

    Takes the digitised lines from Feature Lines, finds all intersections between them, breaks the lines according to these intersection points, links the resulting lines into polygons and then applies the appropriate features, where possible.

  7. Mapping > Feature Replace

    Note:  If required.

    Allows the quick and easy reassignment of a feature to a polygon.

  8. Mapping > Add Comment

    Creates a user defined Survey Station (coordinate reference point) in the ‘User Stations Layer’ (defined in the User Stations Layer parameter in the Survey Station Layers section of the Global settings) and labels it. This panel will remember the settings from the last time the tool was run.

  9. Post Processing > Plot Face

    Creates a layer called “PLOT_LABELS” in which an arrow and labels are created (see Plot Face settings) to define the position of the face relative to the survey station. It then creates a plot file (.dhq) of the selected face(s) using a preconfigured drafting sheet and Plot Builder specification file, generated using Setup > Create Plot Resources.
