Ramp Builder: Automatic projection of ramps. Did you know that MinePlan has a tool for automatically creating ramps? With the Ramp Builder tool, located in the OP Eng Tools menu, you can create a ramp in a practical and automatic way, using the foot and crest lines. After specifying foot and crest lines, the user can determine parameters such as: Ramp Slope; Width; Cut/fill percentage; Face angle; Ramp Position. By defining the start and/or end points of the ramp, with the Preview option it is possible to visualize the result before saving it. By clicking on Apply, the result will be saved in a geometric object, with the lines and surface of the ramp and the foot and crest lines already updated. Figure 1: Ramp Builder. In addition to Ramp creation, the tool also has optional settings for…

It can be used to generate the contours of a topography, or the toe and ridge lines of a pit design, for example. To do so, simply access the tool from the Polyline or Surface menus. You must then select the required geometry, and define the elevations at which you want to create the contour lines. In the Elevation section, the Find Limits option can be useful for finding the vertical limits of your element. The Increment box allows you to define…
