Modifications to data or creation of new data can only take place in the active layer. The selected/displayed layer is the active layer. Layer Chooser: All available layers are displayed in the layer chooser. The up arrow can be used to scroll through previously run functions. While typing commands using the keyboard, the command chooser will auto-complete your keystrokes. In parentheses after the function name, the short-cut key is also displayed. Three modes of dynamic view movement in the viewport are attained using the mouse: ModeĬommand Chooser: All commands run (either from menus, toolbars, or typed in) are displayed in the command chooser. All data types are viewed in the viewport (string, surfaces, databases, block models, etc…). Viewport: This is the 3D graphical environment in Surpac. Text in the message window may be copied and pasted. Its position can also be toggled between floating and docked. It can be resized, minimized & maximized. Message Window: All information relayed from Surpac to the user is displayed in the message window. Status Bar: The status bar show vital information such as cursor coordinates, current view dip and azimuth, change of distance in axis when moving or copying, connectivity to databases & block models. Simple file management is also accomplished within the Navigator from the context menu (right-hand click). File is opened into the active layer and replaces all other data in that layer. File is opened into the active layer and is appended to whatever other data in that layer. The name of the layer is that of the file opened. Result File is opened into it’s own layer. Keyboard modifiers are used to define the open mode to use: Mode Three modes of opening files are accomplished from the Navigator by clicking and dragging files into the viewport. Navigator: Explorer-like view of all mapped drives. Menus are located above the separator line in the context menu, and toolbars below. Menus or Toolbars may be displayed or removed by right-hand clicking any region with no menu item and selecting or de-selecting the menus/toolbars from the subsequent context menu. Others include Edit, Create, Display/Hide, View, Inquire, File Tools, Block Model, Database, Mine Design, Blast Design, Ring Design, & Scheduling. The two default toolbars are called Status Items, & Main. Toolbars: There are 14 different toolbars to choose from in Surpac. Others include Applets, Blast Design, Block Model, Database, Mine Design, Ring Design, Solids, Surveying, & Scheduling. The two default menus are called Main Menu & Applications Menu. Menus: There are 11 different menus to choose from in Surpac Vision. GRAPHICAL INTERFACE Surpac’s graphical user interface (GUI) is comprised of several areas as shown in the figure below: The following sections will briefly describe the various aspects of the program covered in lab exercise. Many of the things you learn in this lab exercise will provide a foundation of skills to be used in later weeks for other labs. In the coming weeks you will be exposed to such modules as Geological Database, Block Model, Open Pit & Underground Mine Design, Open Pit and Underground Blast Design, and Solids. Surpac Vision consists of several modules, which can be enabled on each licence. It is a 3D Mine Design and Geology package used in the mining industry for such tasks as surveying, mine design (open pit & underground), blast design (open pit & underground), exploration, and tailings simulation.
