FFLoop Drift Example

Top  Previous  Next

Step 1: Import digitized mine plans.

 

The plans for this example are in a file called "bulk.dxf".

These are imported using the File > Open Construction Lines command.

 

 

Step 2: Next we start the FFLoop routine and set the CLoop snap mode.

 

FFLoop can be started by selecting ID_BUILD then ID_BUILD_FFLOOP (CAD > Build > FFLoop).

CLoop snap mode can be set by selecting ID_SNAP_TRACE_LLINE (CAD > Snap > Trace CLoop).

 

 

Step 3: Build the FFLoop.

 

The FFLoop is built by selecting one of the points on the desired construction line.

 

 

Step 4: Extrude the floor plan into a 3D drift.

At this point we have constructed the floor plan of the drift.

This can now be extruded into a 3D shape by picking ID_BUILD_OFFSET (CAD > Build > Offset/Extrude).

Set the offset vector to (0 0 5).

 

 

Step 5: Build the drift.

 

The FFLoop can now be built using the function.

Specify 10 as the Mesh Spacing, then press OK.

 

 

Step 6: Construction Complete.

 

This completes construction of the drift.
