Define Slopes for Region

To access this screen:

• On the Pit Optimization Settings: Slopes screen, select a 3D region and click Parameters.

Define the slope constraints permissible for a selected 3D region, including the general maximum permitted slope angle for the region and azimuth-specific angles.

For a more detailed explanation of the slope definition process, see Pit Optimization.

To define slope constraints for a specific 3D region:

1. Display the Define Slopes for Region screen.

   Note: The code of the 3D region being configured appears in brackets in the title bar.

2. Specify a Max allowable slope angle error (between 0.5 and 10.0 degrees).

   Note: This value is used to determine an optimal filter to use in ultimate pit generation.

3. If azimuth-specific slope angles are relevant, define up to 20 Azimuths (between 0 and 359 degrees) and the corresponding Slope angles (between 0 and 90 degrees).

4. Click OK to return to the Slopes screen.

5. Continue defining pit optimization settings.
