Horizontal by Index

For open pit mining, vertical and horizontal dependencies are created manually based on the block model, bench and stage attributes you have imported as part of a long-term plan.

On the Scheduling | View tab, in the Interactive Dependencies group: Click Horizontal by Index to build horizontal dependencies by using the block index attribute to gain awareness of the relationships between tasks.

Certain application functions, such as the Create Mining Block tool, generate a Block Index attribute. This attribute acts as unique block identifier that delineates the location of each block with respect to other blocks. As a result, this tool can be used to create links between tasks that do not abut.
