Survey Database - Development Design Strings

To access this menu:

Display the Project Data control bar, expand the Survey Database folder. A Development Design Strings sub-folder can be found at either the area or level scope of the menu tree, depending on its Data Scope setting.

Development Design Strings - Data Usage

Any Development Design Strings folder within the Survey Database will contain point data representing planned/scheduled underground development activities. Typically, this data is generated using a product such as Studio UG but can be created by other Studio and competitor packages. This data can be useful when comparing development progress against plan, and either linked or extruded to form development design solids, used in compliance and volume reporting EOM reports.

Area and Level Data Scope

Data of this type can be found at one of two levels in the Survey Database 'tree':

Area: more general scope. Adding data at the Area scope will make the data available to all levels within the underground database structure.
Level: more specific scope (and the default setting). Adding data at this area will make the data available only to the current area. Other areas will not be able to use data to report EOM results for any other level on the database.

Within each folder, one more date folders may appear. These represent the date associated with the data when it was added to the database.

Loading 3D Survey Data

You can load data from any date folder at any level, and even load data from multiple dates to for a visual comparison.

This data is added to your Survey database using the Add to Database tool.
