Playing MineSched Animations

You can play MineSched animations in your experience from 3DSpace or 3DSearch.

You can use a MineSched animation to display the general overview of the schedule. This animation displays geometrical subdivisions (either blocks, solids, or polygons) that are coloured according to the activities in the time periods defined in your schedule. The activities can be:

  • adding material
  • removing material
  • monitoring or modifying the size of the stockpile.

Before you begin: You must be granted the GEX (Earth Contributor) role.
