#3 Pit Optimisation -> Nested Pits -> Mining Blocks

Run pit optimisation
Cut selected incremental pit shells into 3D grid of mining blocks split by shell boundaries.
Calculate attributes from block model.
Use grid indexes to determine task (mining block) dependencies.

* Similar to #2: Pit Optimisation -> Mining Blocks using multiple stage shells instead of only final pit shell

Mining | Resource Optimisation | Pit Optimiser
Set Design > Staging > Generate Nested Pits … to specify RAFs for nested pits
Set Output > Reports > Report Data Sources > Report = Block Model
- Set Report File = name of block model to be saved

Use all nested pits
- Set Output > Staging Wireframes > Output = Incremental Solid
  - Set Type = name of wireframe type for incremental pit solids
  - Set Name = base name of incremental pit solids for this mine

Set Output > Staging Wireframes > Output = Exact Surface
- Set Type = name of wireframe type for exact nested pit surfaces
- Set Name = base name of exact nested pit surfaces for this mine

Use Mining | Task Preparation | Incremental Solids to generate incremental solids between selected nested pits

Set Surfaces > Topography = topographic surface
Set Surfaces > DTMs = ordered list of selected exact nested pit surfaces
Set Output > Incremental Solids = Type and Prefix for incremental solids between each selected exact nested pit surface

Schedule | Attributes | Task Attributes must include Stage as NUMERIC attribute

Create Schedule Definition as per #1: Direct Block Scheduling: Schedule Definition

Set Block Models > Definition > Input Data = block model output from pit optimisation
Set Task Sources > Pit Wireframes > Definition > Input > Stages = Type for incremental solids for selected nested pits
- Set Incremental Pit Solid Names = ordered list of names of incremental pit solids
  - Set Output = suitable identifying prefix for tasks in each pit increment
- Set Output > Attributes to include Stage to assign stage (increment) number to each task
