Line colour. type, and width settings on the Pit Design | Display tab, and also editable in the Property Window, are set by default when the form is cleared (or used the first time). These default colours have been tested for clarity against both a white and a black background.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Toe | A Toe string is the bottom string of a pit or stockpile. |
| Crest | A Crest string is generated as the pit or stockpile expanded. A crest (with the exception of the final crest) has a corresponding Toe string at the same Z or elevation. |
| Road | A Road string is generated when you add a Road. A Start point is defined on a Crest or Toe string. |
| Contour | A Contour string between successive Toes and Crests can be used to denote benches. |
| Slot Ramp | A Slot Ramp string is generated when you add a Slot Ramp. A Slot Ramp is an alternative to a spiral road and is suited to shallow pits. |
| Pseudo Toe | A Pseudo Toe string denotes where the toe would be without the Berm gradient. |
| Road Centre-line | You can choose to display a road centre-line (on the Input tab). The centre-line is the line along which the gradient and the length of the road are calculated. |
| Other | Other strings can also be assigned a colour and a line style. |
