Trim

Use the options on the Trim tab of the Intersect with Solid form to:

• Trim those blocks that protrude (above or below) the surface of a solid.
• Delete those blocks that intersect or lie completely inside or outside the solid.

These options are enabled when you select Trim as the Solid Intersection option on the Input tab.

Trim To Solid

• When Trim to solid is selected, the SBM is “trimmed” to the solid (the most common scenario being the 3D model of an orebody or pit shell). In this case, a block intersecting the solid will have its Z centre and size adjusted so that the centre of the intersecting face has the same elevation as the surface of the solid.

If there is more than one block in a column that intersects the surface of the solid, only the block where the centre intersects the surface, is affected by the process. Other blocks that intersect the solid, or fall outside the solid, are deleted.

Delete Blocks

Select this option to Delete blocks based on a selected classification:

Name	Description
Outside	Delete only those blocks completely outside the solid.
Inside	Delete only those blocks completely inside the solid.
Intersecting	Delete only those blocks that intersect the solid.
