This draws the block model in the drawing which can be rendered in
3D for visualization with the 3D Viewer Window. There are two
options to use grids to limit the top surface and the bottom
surface of the blocks to be drawn. This way, if there is a new
topography of the pit, it will only draw blocks of the remaining
ore. There is an option to use an inclusion perimeter to draw the
blocks inside.
The first dialog shows the Grades, the Layer for
each grade and whether to draw them or not. The block model is then
drawn. It may be viewed in 3D in the drawing to see the various
grades, or loaded into the 3D Viewer Window. It detects the block
model and prompts to be rendered.
This will give a 3D rendered image
of the blocks colored by grade as shown here. Using the Advanced
Options of the 3D Viewer Window, colors can be turned on or off to
see what is in the center, behind other grades.
The first step is to select the
*.BLK file, then select the *.GPF file.
