Set Up Mass Haulage Diagrams
Use the Mass Haulage Diagram Presentation tab to define the display of a mass haulage diagram. Vertical measurements on the diagram are based on a 100% scale. The diagram can be resized using the handles (small arrowheads) at the left edge of the pane.
Ways to access
Click a blank area in a mass haulage cell. Then click the Mass Haulage Diagram Presentation tab in the Object Properties pane at the bottom of the screen (press Ctrl + 2 if needed).
Mass areas in the diagram
In a Mass Haulage Diagram, the mass areas are placed based on their distance coordinates. If multiple areas are at the same location along the distance axis, they are stacked vertically. Which mass area is above/below in the stack is determined by the level setting for each mass area on the Mass Area tab in the Object Properties Pane. For the cut areas, the highest level items are shown/printed first, then the lower ones. For the fill areas, the reversed order is applied.
Options
Considered sub-projects
This section lists data (such as sub-projects, mass types, and haulage types) that are shown in the diagram based on the current filter.
Sub-projects/Filters - Click this to set filter parameters in the Filter Mass Haulage Diagram. The mass haulage diagram will display all selected mass areas and mass haulages that are connected to selected subprojects in the dialog. For details, see the Filtering Mass Haulage Diagrams help topic.
Diagram Presentation
The zero line runs horizontally through the center of the cell. All mass areas above the zero line indicate cut areas. All mass areas below the line indicate fill areas. In addition, areas at the top and bottom of the chart indicate quantities that are not along the alignment's mainline. These mass areas at the top and bottom of the chart typically indicate extraction sites (borrow sites), dump sites (waste sites), and processing centers (crushing sites).
Top/Bottom border size - Enter a % of the available diagram for the top/bottom border areas that are reserved for mass elements, such as borrow and waste sites. This affects the Border elements position setting below.
Zero line to cut spacing - Enter a % of the chart height to add space between the zero line and the lowest cut mass areas (above the zero line). Use this (and the setting below) to make room for horizontal haulage lines and labels.
Zero line to fill spacing - Enter a % of the chart height to add space between the zero line and the highest fill mass areas (below the zero line).
Border elements position - Enter a % for how much of the top/bottom border size the border elements should use. If you increase this to 100%, it uses the entire area available.
Height=quantity per distance ratio - Check this box to change the display height of the areas. When enabled, the height is calculated between the areas from the ratio of their quantity per distance value. The same quantity on a long area shows smaller than on a short one. When disabled, the mass area rectangle height reflects the absolute area quantity.
Group mass types on lines - Check this box to show all areas of a type on one row. The items in the border area at the top are in the first row, followed by the cut areas (sorted by their level number). the fill areas, and then the areas on the bottom border.
Note: If you select a mass area, the mass type properties describe the kind of area, whether it is a cut, fill, waste, or stockpile element. If you use elements other than cut/fill, you have the option to display them on the bottom or top by checking the display on the top border of the diagram box.
Hide line if no areas in range - Check this box to … (enabled only when Group mass types on lines box above is checked).
Quantity and Haul Display
These options control bar graphs displayed inside the mass areas in the mass haulage diagram:
Display 'Haul Quantity' - Check this box to display the haul quantity bar within mass areas.
Display 'Scheduled Quantity' - Check this box to display the scheduled quantity bar within mass areas.
Display 'Actual Quantity' - Check this box to display the actual quantity bar within the mass areas
Quantity Bar Width (max) - Enter a maximum width for the quantity bars within mass areas (in distance units). If the length of an area is very large, then the width of all three bars are reduced to the given value.
Display Haulage Lines - Check/uncheck this box to show/hide haulage lines in the diagram.
Maximum Corner Radius - Enter a radius for turns in haulage lines (in distance units).
Boundary Values
Minimum/Maximum display quantity - Enter the minimum quantity to display in the diagram. Use this for scenarios in which you have very small quantities (in relation to other quantities) that are displayed. Quantities, e.g., if the value is 500 000 then all quantities over 500 000 are displayed as they were 500 000.
Tip: Boundary values can affect your displayed haul quantity. When you set a minimum value for your cut/fill area (e.g.,10,000), and you have a mass area with, for example 3000 m3, and you move all material in a fill, you might be surprised (when you display the haul quantity) that the vertical bar representing this value may not equal the height. The reason is the boundary value, which is used to improve visibility; it is not a strict value, but rather depends on the user-defined settings.
Distance [Quantity] - Enter a size for the gap (in quantity; not cm or inches) between stacked mass areas.
Min. width mass area - Enter the minimum width for mass areas (beginning at the start point). In a 50km long project, an area of 500m length would not be shown. With this setting, you can virtually increase the size on the diagram so that it becomes visible.
Min. width border element - Enter the minimum width for border areas (where base types = borrow, waste, or stockpile). All border areas with 0 length are displayed in that length if their length = 0, meaning that their start and end point is the same.
