Description

Select and define a face mine unit, or activate a mine tonnage zone.

 

How to use

When being used to define a new face, you are prompted to select the required face segments on any available perimeter. In cases where segments from different perimeters overlay each other, the perimeter selected will be the one on which the cursor pick is inside.

A face can comprise a number of segments, as long as they are adjacent. A perimeter can also comprise a number of separate faces. Identified faces are displayed with a small filled triangle pointing inwards. If the perimeter containing the selected face is anti-clockwise, it is automatically made clockwise.

When the face has been selected, you are prompted to enter an advance rate per time unit for the new face. If an error has been made during face selection, the deselect-face command can be used to reverse the effects of face selection.

 

Selecting tonnage zones

The select-inner-face command can be used to activate tonnage zones after they have been defined using the assign-results command - you are prompted for the extraction tonnage per time unit. After selection, the tonnage zone is displayed with filled squares to indicate that it is now active.
