Inactive Blocks

On the Mining | Blast Design tab, in the View group: Use the Inactive Blocks drop-down menu to choose how inactive blast design blocks are shown in the active layer.

It may be useful to see neighboring blocks during the design process. Conversely, there may be times when you want to hide inactive blocks to reduce visual clutter.

Hide Hide inactive blast design blocks in the active layer.
Shadow Shadow inactive blast design blocks in the active layer.
Show Show inactive blast design blocks in the active layer.
