Advanced MSO Settings

Use the Advanced screen to gain deeper control over how MSO interprets and manipulates stope shapes during the optimization process. It is used to refine the structure, resolution, and configuration of stopes beyond the base geometry defined in the Shapes and Framework screens.

This includes options to break down full stopes into smaller sub-stopes, apply refinement logic, handle narrow ore, or link stopes to structural constraints like control surfaces and development headings.

Advanced options are especially useful when:

• You require more selective or segmented output (for example, smaller, more flexible stopes).

• You need shapes to follow development layout or mining fronts.

• You want to implement custom refinement rules for slope, smoothness, or contact alignment.

To open this screen:

1. Select the Report ribbon.

2. Click Mineable Shapes (New).

3. Toggle the display of the Manager sidebar using Scenarios >> Manager.

4. Select or create a scenario.

5. Select Optimization>> Advanced.
