The Planning Workspace

This topics describes the screen elements you can use to support your strategic planning projects. Many of these components can be resized and repositioned. Screenshots will show a typical layout.

This topic focusses on the tools that specifically relate to the strategic planning functions in your product, including the optimal extraction sequence calculation workflow and the strategic planning database. Other, more general tools exist for displaying and formatting 3D objects, evaluating the model, editing data, wireframing and so on, and these are described in their respective context-sensitive help topics.

You can read a general topic about your application layout here.

Studio NPVS, RMS and Maxipit include a wide range user interface customization options so don't worry if screenshots in this or other topics don't match your own application. Links to customization topics are provided further below.
