Setup Attributes

On the Design right-click menu, in the Project Explorer: Select Setup | Attributes to create or modify the attributes of the design elements you have created or imported.

When you select a design element in the Design Window, you can modify Attribute values in the Properties pane,

Wherever attributes can be selected as part of a design action (for example, when you use the utilities provided on the Shape, Text and Triangulation ribbons) you can click on an ellipsis to view or modify those attributes.

Attribute Fields

Attribute Fields are a special group of fields which are imported into the Data Table. These Attribute Fields are Design Attributes that are imported from Development Network and Stope layers and linked to the Data Table. During the Tunnel and Stope generation processes, Table Solids Fields are populated with the data from the design centrelines and the stope solids. These attributes are essential for building and running the schedule.

When a Tunnel Solid is selected in the Development Network Layer and you view Properties, the Attribute Fields that have been setup and mapped in Scenario Settings > Development Network are shown against a light blue background colour:

When a Centreline is selected in the Development Network Layer and you view Properties, "Attributes" derived from Attribute Fields for the purposes of tunnel generation are shown in yellow to differentiate them from other attributes:
