Configure Stope Dip

In MSO stope dip governs the inclination of stope walls, controlling how steep or shallow the shape is allowed to be. You can choose to apply geological or geometric interpretations, specify whether both walls follow the same dip or differ, and define either fixed or model-driven limits.

Note: The angle convention on this screen is degrees.

Activity steps

Define your shape framework's stope width settings on the Shapes screen.
Expand the Stope Dip control group.
Choose how dip settings are interpreted using Application.
- Geological – Dip is based on the true dip of the orebody.
- Geometric – Dip is measured relative to the framework alignment.
Note: Hangingwall Near and Far limits can only be set if the Application is Geological.
Define how the dip of the near and far sides of the shape are handled using Specification.
- Equal – Same dip on both sides.
- Different – Independent dip on near and far side.
Note: Minimum and Maximum Far dip values can only be set if the Specification is Different.

Define Minimum and Maximum dip constraints for your dip configuration. You can also limit how much the dip can change between adjacent blocks or slices using Max. Change.

Note: All values are interpreted as degrees.
