Orientation

Use the Orientation screen to control how MSO slices, aligns, and processes the block model to generate stope shapes. It determines the spatial framework MSO used to evaluate and segment the orebody, which directly impacts the geometry of the stopes created.

Each optimization method offers distinct geometry assumptions that match different deposit styles and mining methods. You can also control the direction, dip, and strike of generated slices or prisms, ensuring the output is geologically and operationally aligned.

Note: The settings that appear on this screen are dependent on the Optimization Method you pick.
