Block Model
On the Block Model tab, in the Block Model group:
-
Click Create Block Model to generate an empty block model file that can be supplied as input to other modelling functions. As well as specifying block definitions and constants, you can also specify block constraints and sub-block blocks that are wholly or partially inside one or more wireframes, or above or below a DTM.
-
Click Index | 3D Block Index to add a unique index number to each record in a block model file. It is generally used to re-index block models produced in 2D Estimation, 3D Estimation, Gridding, and Kriging.
-
Select Index | 2D Block Index to add a unique index number to each record in a block model file or gridded seam file.
-
Click Setup to provide user-defined block definitions, or extents, for a block model that appears to have an irregular block definition.
-
Click Validate to validate a block model for overlapping blocks and ensure that no discrepancies exist between the block model file and the block definitions assigned to it. A check can also be made for missing compulsory field values or invalid non-numeric values.
