Automatically Generating Dependencies
You can calculate dependencies between blocks based on their overlap and/or if blocks fall within a tolerance vertical distance. This spatial relationship can then be detected to consider to see if blocks qualify for a dependency join.
The Auto Dependencies dialog is used to automatically generate mining block dependencies based on a defined elevation difference and / or block overlap.
One way of setting up automated dependencies is to use a combination of minimum and maximum distance settings. This lets define an 'elevation dependency band' above or below a block, for example:
You can also choose to make blocks dependent if they overlap. Vertical and overlap tolerances can be combined.
Field Details:
The following fields are available in this dialog:
Minimum elevation difference...: enter a distance in measurement units that represents the minimum required elevation difference between two blocks for those blocks to be considered dependent. For example if this value is set to 5 (and the world measurement unit is meters), blocks that are less than 5 meters difference in elevation will not be considered as dependent. This can be useful to ensure automatic dependencies aren't formed between co-located or near-co-located block data in your project.
Maximum elevation difference...: enter a maximum distance value. In this case blocks must be below the specified distance value to be considered dependent (providing they aren't closer than the Minimum elevation difference).
Minimum overlap difference...: specify a distance above which blocks will be considered dependent.
Minimum overlap area...: specify a 2D area (in plan alignment) above which blocks will be considered dependent.
OK: click this button to automatically generate a set of dependencies using the defined Maximum Elevation Difference.
Cancel: click this button to cancel automatic dependency generation.
