Create Haulage Types
Ways to access
In the Tilos Explorer, expand Library > Other Libraries > Haulage Types from the libraries and you will see a list of existing haulage types in the working area.
Steps
Define haulage types that you can use when creating mass haulages.
In the Tilos Explorer, click to expand Library > Other Libraries and double-click Haulage Types to see a list of existing types in the working window.
Use the buttons on the right to:
Add Haulage Type - Add a new blank row in the table in which you can define another type.
Delete Haulage Type - Remove a selected type row. When you delete a haulage type, you can choose to remove any associated haulage areas based on that type. If you delete such haulage areas, you are asked whether you want to remove associated cut/fill activities. If you answer no, the activities will simply be disassociated from the deleted areas. Deleting a mass type works in a similar way.
Edit Properties - Open the Default dialog for a selected currency where you can specify/edit the Haulage type ID, Name, Shrinkage, Hauling bulkage, Hauling compaction, Activity template (cut), Activity template (fill), and the Line style and Line color for haulage line presentations. For details, see the Setting Unit Properties help topic.
To edit which columns are shown in the Units table, right-click a column header and select Setup to open the Spreadsheet Settings dialog. You can also Lock columns, Copy data to clipboard, and Reset to default from this context menu.
