UG Survey menu contents
This section provides a summary of the UG Survey submenu and its available options.
The Traverse option to calculate the location of a foresight station by traversing.
The Traverse by Single option is similar to the Traverse option. The only difference is that the horizontal angles in the Traverse by Single option are measured from the left face only.
Use the New Traverse option to calculate and check the location of a foresight station by using the position of two know stations.
Use this option to calculate set out radiations from a nominated station (selected either graphically or by name from a list) to a selected object.
User the Report Offsets option to calculate a set of horizontal and/or vertical offsets. The offset information can be saved to a report file or posted as graphics onto the screen.
Use the Create UG Drive option to create cross sections and open ended solid representations of the underground drives, cross cuts, etc., by supplying a grade line, a set of chainage values, and a left, right, back (up) and floor (down) offset from each chainage point. In addition, each drive cross section may be given a bearing and gradient relative to the grade line.
Use the Create Solid option to create triangulations (both solids and surfaces) that cover and adhere to the underground survey scans passed in as input.
Use the Create Survey Triangulation tool to generate a solid model of a drive based on underground survey data. This function takes centre lines (strings) that define the floor (sill), roof (back) and wall (rib) surfaces to create 3D drives which model breakouts in these surfaces.
Use the Build 3D Drive option to create triangulations from underground survey data, that is, centre lines (strings) that define the floor (sill), roof (back) and wall (rib) surfaces.
Use the Generate UG Drive Strings option to create survey data from triangulations. The option takes a solid triangulation of an underground drive and extracts its strings for roof (back), floor (sill), and wall (rib) positions that help generate a simplified model of the drive.
Use Over-Under Break to compare the UG design to the as-built UG survey solid based in sections. The calculation for each section includes the design area, the actual area, the overbreak area, the underbreak area, and deviation percentage.
