Strategic Planning Plots

In addition to 3D window visualization of mining surfaces, your application also employs “Plot Views” (also known as “Section Views”) for the visualization of block models, surfaces and outlines. Typically, these are useful for hardcopy outputs, where more than one "projection" of data may be useful for reporting, along with other plot items such as North arrow, legend keys, clip art and so on.

You can create plot views for any data based in a 3D window using the create-plot-view command (quick key 'cpv') or by the collection of tools available on the Manage ribbon that appears once the Plots workspace is displayed.

One or more plot sheets can contain one or more plot items (a projection of a 3D data is also a plot item). Plot items can represent 3D data views, legends, tables, a north arrow, a data table or any one of a wide range of things to enhance your plot.

See Plots Window Overview.

Key Plot Functions

  • Plot block models with color coded legends in plan or vertical sections. Query cells for attribute values.

  • Hosts one or more projections representing a view (independently formatted) of 3D data. These projections can be tailored with regards to formatting and overlay content.

  • Host supporting plot items such as charts, tables and other enhancements to maximize the impact of your report.

  • Plot-specific annotations and strings representing geological structures can be added.

  • All plot formatting can be stored in a template for consistent reporting standards.
