Independent View Dialog

A Datamine eLearning course is available that covers functions described in this topic. Contact your local Datamine office for more details.

To access this dialog:

Activate the View ribbon and select New 3D Window | Independent.

Multiple 3D Windows

Your application supports multiple, linked 3D windows.

These additional windows can be additional representations of the current window (and linked to it), either by splitting the screen horizontally and/or vertically, or can be an 'external' floating view that is connected to your primary 3D window data and formatting options. All of these views are linked to a single data source and formatting settings.

Each window is supported by its own Sheets control bar sub-menu.

Independent 3D windows are also available. These allow you to set your own window-specific formatting of overlays, sections, grid and many other scene controls. Independent windows can either be embedded or external/floating.

Independent 3D Views

"Independent" 3D views allow you to scrutinise all types of data, with different formatting in unlinked windows. For example, you can fully scrutinise your geological data with independent formatting and loading of any data types in multiple windows; show your resource model as an intersection showing AU grades within bounding structures in one window, then display the model and corresponding drillhole data in the other with front clipping.

Field Details:

New name: enter a name for your new window. If you are creating an independent-embedded window type, this name will appear on the window tab, e.g.:

If you choose a name that already exists, an index number will appear after the new name, e.g.:

Copy overlays from the current view: if enabled (default), all overlays from the currently active window will be copied to the new
