FFLoop Stope 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 points on each construction line.

Note that points are automatically be generated at 10m intervals along long sides

It is best to pick points that are at sharp corners or bends as the line between the loops will guide the construction process.

 

 

Step 4: Signal completion of construction.

 

Now that all of the loops have been defined, we pick ID_BUILD_FFLOOP (CAD > Build > FFLoop) again to signal completion of construction.

This can also be signalled by picking the last point (i.e. point 3) a second time.

 

 

Step 5: Build the stope.

 

The FFLoop can now be built using the function.

Specify 10 for the Mesh Spacing then pick OK.

 

 

Step 6: Construction Complete.

 

This completes construction of the stope.
