Shapes

Use the Shapes screen to define geometric constraints that govern how MSO builds individual stope shapes within the framework tubes. These constraints include width, dip, strike, and side ratio rules, ensuring that the generated shapes conform to practical mining geometry and geotechnical standards.

You can apply both fixed and dynamic rules to width, dip, and strike, either by setting limits or linking to block model fields. This enables highly controlled and geologically consistent shapes.
