GeoMine Foundation Module for Threedify products

GeoMine Foundation, GeoMine is a fully integrated mining software suite for geological modelling, mine planning and design as well as scheduling for both open pit and underground mines. The Foundation module provides a unified workspace and CAD tools that are common to all other modules in GeoMine, and helps project data flows seamlessly among all modules. No more import and export between disjoint applications each addressing a specific stage of the complex mine planning process.

Foundation Key Benefits

  • Unified Workspace: All modules in GeoMine work coherently and seamlessly within the single integrated workspace, eliminating the needs for incremental import/ export steps, thereby significantly increasing productivity.
  • Easy to use: Fully event-driven non-blocking user interface helps improve efficiency
  • Versatile: Includes a slew of advanced CAD tools.

System Requirements:

Define block model universe orientation and dimensions manually or automatically from an existing block model CSV file; Define the Mine Coordinate System (NEZ) for modeling.

Import/Export block model CSV files; Create empty, full or partial block models from an existing block model with or w/o sub-blocking; Boolean operations on block models (intersection, union, subtraction and XOR); Automatic model clipping by topography; Create attribute/grade shells from block models in real-time; Create swatch plots, PP and QQ plots, and histogram comparison plots for model validation; Create grade-tonnage curves; Fill holes in Block Model; Modify internal block model properties; Show model statistics; Search individual blocks by XYZ or IJK; Export block models and statistics to files.

Import continuous and/or categorical attributes from drill hole files or 3rd party block models. Create continuous or categorical attributes using GeoMine’s powerful Formula Editor; Assign attributes to block models or composites; Partition active attribute into data intervals and color-code block models, drill holes and composites by these intervals.

Create wireframes from cross sectional polylines; Create 2.5D gridded or TIN surfaces and set such a surface as the active topography.

Create and edit axis-aligned, non-axis aligned or scaled cross sections.

Create custom reports for block models, pit, stope, and cave designs.

Create and edit user-defined formulas; Preview and debug formulas; Copy and paste full or partial formulas.

Define color legend for active attribute; Define drawing identification for plotting; Define 2D and 3D display coordinate systems (for plotting).

Transform existing CSV files by user-defined formulae; Reblock CSV files; Convert third-party sub-blocked CSV files to GeoMine .tbm format.

Create lines, polylines(2D or 3D), circles, ellipse, rectangles, cubes, boxes, spheres and ellipsoids; Copy, delete, move, rotate, or scale objects; Insert poly vertex; Move poly or mesh vertex; Delete poly or mesh vertex; Delete mesh face; Extend/shorten objects; Flip face or object normal.

Create extruded solids (from a polygon along a vector or path); Create extruded solid from a mesh; Create offset polygons; Create polygonal profiles by slicing; Create silhouette polygons from a mesh; Mesh simplification and optimization; Subdivide, smooth or join polylines; Polyline fillet and chamber; Connected-component separation.

Boolean operations on polygons and 3D solids (intersect, union, subtraction and symmetric differences); Trim mesh by plane or polygon; Re-mesh by Triangulation or Marching Cubes; Mesh repairing by hole filling and solidification; Mesh offsetting.

Measure overdig and underdig volumes between two arbitrary topo surfaces

Compute overdig/underdig/intersection solids between two topo surfaces

Create static or associative linear dimensions (distance, axis aligned, point-to-plane), radial as well as angular dimensions; Create 2D text, label and freehand objects; Measure line/plane azimuth and dip; Show point/vertex coordinates.

Unlimited undo/redo history; Undo/redo last operation; Undo-to and redo-to a specific operation; Undo consecutive viewing operations; Inner command undo.

Orthographic and Perspective mode; True 3D perspective-correct zooming, pan, spin, 10 preset views (including 4 isometric views), set view target, switch view to object, add/move/rotate/delete view clipping planes.

Range-select objects (within or outside a window); Area-Select objects (within or outside a polygonal region); Select a single object; Un-select all objects; Hide or un-hide single or multiple objects.

Group objects into folders or groups with drag & drop and area-select interfaces.

Software and hardware rendering modes; Wireframe, flat shading, smooth shading, hidden line removal rendering modes; Backface cull, background color/image/texture, grid on/off, snap cursor to grid or vertex, show face normal on pick, show polyline vertex number Material colors: diffuse, specular, ambient, emissive, height, normals, shininess, opacity, vertex displacement, ambient occlusion; Transparency and lighting properties (up to 8 lights).
