Block Model Assign

On the Block Model tab, in the Block Model group: Select Assign >Blocks | Assign to assign block model attribute values to the target points that fall within selected blocks, creating target fields in the input points file if necessary.

The assignment process will determine the boundaries of each block (taking into account the block size, sub-blocks, and any rotations) and assign attribute values for points that fall within individual blocks. Nearby points will also be assigned attribute values from the same block. This is required for tagging point data (typically assays) with the attributes of blocks in close proximity.

Regular, sub-blocked, rotated, and Seam Block Model (SBM), block model files are all supported by this new function.

The Assign tab gives control over the assign fields in the Output file and what will be written to them.
