Duplicating a Scenario

You can duplicate a scenario to apply the same parameters to different block models, after the parameters and attributes have been associated with a new block model.

Important: Duplicating a scenario can involve changing the block model. Duplicating a scenario does not duplicate the results of the original scenario. No link is maintained between the original and duplicate scenarios, so changes made in either model are not passed to the other.

Creating a Scenario
  1. From the Pit Optimization section of the action bar, select Duplicate Scenario .
  2. In the Duplicate Scenario dialog box, enter a descriptive name.
  3. Select to activate the Block Model field.
  4. Select the Representation reference of the Optimization Block Model. When duplicating a scenario, you can change the block model.
  5. Select to activate the Terrain Surface field.
  6. Select a terrain surface.
    OptionDescription
    Point cloud Enables you to select a point cloud representation that can contain multiple surfaces scanned at different dates. In such a case, you specify the surface from which the date is selected.
    Note: If you select a Point cloud within a terrain surface, the Capture Time option becomes available.
    Polyhedral surface Enables you to select a polyhedral surface of a terrain object in the tree or the 3D area. Usually this is a previously imported triangulated surface from an external format.
    Important: You can only select a healed surface. For more information, see 3D Modeling > >Virtual Planet > Geosciences Converters User's Guides.
  7. Specify the Capture Time.
  8. Click Ok.
