Tasks Pane - Visualize

To access this panel:

Display the Tasks Pane, then select Visualize from the area list.

The Visualize panel is used to generate and display data associated with the optimization workflow.

Links to each of the key 3D data inputs and outputs are listed here. Links are disabled if no data of that type yet exists in your project.

Viewable data is split into two categories; models and surfaces. This data may or may not already be loaded into a 3D window. If already loaded, it is regenerated and reloaded.

Loaded 3D data will appear in the primary 3D display window along with a dedicated animation toolbar, and available as one or more object overlays in the Project Data control bar.

See Visualizing Surfaces and The Surface Animation Toolbar.

Model Visualization Options

The following model visualization options are available on the Visualize panel:

Imported – View the model as originally imported (and used as a basis for creating the economic model). See Data Import Essentials.
Economic – If an economic model has been generated, click to view it in the primary 3D window. See Economic Model Essentials.
Optimized Pit – If a nested LG pit model has been generated, click to view it. See Pit Optimization Essentials.
Optimized Pushbacks – If a pushback model has been generated, click to view it. See What is a Pushback?
Optimized Schedule – If an OES has been generated, view the OES model here. See Scheduling Pushbacks.

Surface Visualization Options

Click an active link in the panel to display the following:

Topography – View the default topography associated with the current plan.
Ultimate Pit – View the current ultimate pit surface data.
LG Phases – Displays the Show Surface Options screen, used to control the surfaces you wish to include in your loaded surface object.
Pushbacks – View generated pushback surfaces.
Scheduler Period Pits – View per-period surfaces.
Other Surfaces – Displays the Choose Surfaces to Display screen.
