Hauling compaction - Enter the Volume-Loss of Haul Quantity because of Compaction during fill. If the Value is entered the Shrinkage gets calculated too.
Shrinkage - Enter the Volume-Loss from Cut-Quantity (compacted) to Fill Quantity (compacted). If the Value is entered the Hauling Compaction gets calculated too.
Shrinkage - Default Percentage Values for the Shrinkage of a new Haulage created with this Haulage Type. The Shrinkage describes the reduction of volume between the cut and fill due to compaction.
Hauling bulkage - Default Percentage Values for the Hauling Bulkage of a new Haulage created with this Haulage Type. It describes if positive the growth from cut area to transportation volume.
Hauling compaction - Default Percentage Values for the Hauling Compaction of a new Haulage created with this Haulage Type. It describes if positive the reduction from transport volume to fill volume after compaction..

Steps
Delete Haulage Types
To delete a haulage type, select it in the Tilos Explorer and click the Delete key. When you delete a haulage type, you can choose to remove any associated haulages based on that type. Deleting a mass type works in a similar way.
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.
