Manipulate the 2D View of a 3D Stockpile

Security Note: You need the Allow the user to open the 3D stockpile viewer security right in the 3D user group security rights group for this activity.

Activity Steps

  1. Open the 3D Transaction Viewer.

    The Stockpile View displays two views of the 3D stockpile: a top view and a side view.

    Note: The label for each view includes the data type that is used in the colour legend. You can Change the Viewing Options for the 3D Transaction Viewer.

  2. To view the location of a transaction within the stockpile, select the transaction in the Transactions table.

    Each transaction listing includes the following information:

    • Icon:
      • Blue tick—Processed transaction
      • Red circle with white cross—Transaction with a warning or error
      • Disk with small letter I—Transaction that has been modified since searching for 3D transactions
    • Whether the transaction is a stacking or reclaiming transaction
    • The stacker or reclaimer type
    • The transaction quantity
    • The transaction date and time

    The transaction blinks in the side view of the stockpile.

  3. To change the stockpile slice displayed in the side view, drag the marker (red triangle) along the X-axis of the top view.
  4. To view information about a transaction, click the 2D view in the location of the transaction.

    A tooltip displays the quantity, density, date, age, product and quality of the material in that part in the stockpile.

  5. To assign a movement product to multiple transactions within the stockpile:
    1. Click and drag the mouse pointer to highlight a section of the side view of the stockpile.

    2. Right-click and select Set Product from the menu.
    3. Expand the Product Categories or Brand Categories tree and select the product or brand.
    4. Click Save.
  6. To export the 3D shape as a CSV file:
    1. Right-click and select Export » Export 3D Shape from the menu.
    2. Select a location and enter a suitable file name.
    3. Click Save.

      A message displays the size of the exported file.

    4. Click OK.
  7. To export the 3D shape as an MM3D file:
    1. Right-click and select Export » Export Detailed 3D Shape from the menu.
    2. Select a location and enter a suitable file name.
    3. Click Save.

      A message confirms the file creation.

    4. Click OK.
  8. To save both the top and side views of the stockpile as a single image:
