From the Naming options, select one of the following:
Option Description Elevation Applies the bench elevation value, a computed distance that is:
- For benches, the distance between the last bench support and the crest contour.
- For bench supports, the distance between the plane of the last bench support and the current plane support.
By default, this option is selected.Standard Applies an incremental value to each bench and bench support name.
The bench support planes are created accordingly. They work as reference planes to represent the contours of the toes and crests of the pit phase you envision.
