Description
Create drive wireframe co-axially around drive control string.
How to use
Before using this command, select-cross-section should be used to set up the required drive cross-section. Underground drives are then designed by defining and modifying drive control strings. The link-complete-drive command is used to automatically assign drive cross-sectional perimeters to each point along a control string, and then link them together to form a wireframe model of the drive. The volume, tonnage and other quantities are automatically determined and stored in a drive evaluation file, and if a block model has been opened, the drive will be fully evaluated against it. The newly-created wireframe data will be added to the current wireframe object. Use of the toggle command x-sections-switch controls whether or not the created drive cross-sectional perimeters will remain in memory.
Use of the toggle command wall-strings-switch controls whether or not wall strings and roof strings will also be automatically generated. The wall strings may be very useful for drive design and layout purposes.

Using this command in conjunction with the 3D Solid linking method. If you have strings on adjacent sections that are to be linked together, and those strings cross each other when viewed in the direction of wireframing, then temporary vertices are inserted into the string and these temporary vertices are used when the wireframe is created. Since pairs of strings are wireframed at a time it is possible for these temporary vertices to be created for one pair of strings and not the other. In this situation a wireframe may be built which contains inconsistencies. Therefore the 3D-Solid method is not suitable for use with the older linking commands if adjacent sections contain strings that cross each other in the direction of wireframing. |
