Entering Your Traverse Data

In MineSightFeb 2009 Dr. B. C. Paul

Note the following presentation includes screen shots an operating

suggestions for the program MineSight developed by Mintec Inc. The program

was developed by Mintec.


2/54

Start Up MineSight and Set the

Directory Where You Want to WorkYou will be using

This directory

For all your

Mapping the

Rest of the

Semester.


3/54

Create a Folder for Engineering

Building Traverse


4/54

Name the Folder and Click Ok


5/54

Create a Geometry Object to Hold the

Corners of the Engineering Building

You determined

These on your

Side shots


6/54

Put Your New Geometry Object

into Edit Mode (so you can put your data points

in it)


7/54

You Have the Handy Dandy Excel

Spreadsheet that has converted your survey

data to point coordinates


8/54

We Will Need to Set Up A Work

Area (we need to identify the state plane coordinate

area we will be working with)Activate

MineSight

Compass


9/54

It Tells Us It Could Not Find the

Boundary Files Saying Where to Work

Dahthats what

We are doing this

For at least we

Know the program

Is on the same

Page as us.

Click Ok


10/54

When Compass Opens Create a

New PCF (Project Control File)


11/54

You May Have to Tell it to Put the File

in the Directory You Are Working In


12/54

Fill Out the Programs

Questionnaire

Your working in

Feet

Its a 3D project

Give it a 4 letter

Name (preferably

Professional

Sounding) I

Picked Trav

I picked other for

My mineral type

But it really does

Not matter

Enter a projectDescri tion should be rofessional it will show u on all our re orts


13/54

Enter the Anticipated Coordinate

Range

My guess is

reasonable


14/54

The Initialization Runs


15/54

Make Sure We Get A Project File


16/54

We Will Tell It Where the Project

Control File Is


17/54

We Are Done We Will Close

Compass and Get On With Data Entry


18/54

Under the Utilities Menu Pick the

Point Editor


19/54

The Point Editor Comes On But is

Inactive


20/54

Go to Point Create

Th P i t Edit T O d th


21/54

The Point Editor Turns On and the

Operations Line Shows What We Are

Doing


22/54

Check the Boxes to Indicate That

We Will Be Inputting Coordinates

E t th C di t f th Fi t


23/54

Enter the Coordinates of the First

Corner using Data from the

Spreadsheet


24/54

Click Apply and Our First Point

Appears


25/54

Type in the Next Point


26/54

When I Click Apply the Next Point

Appears


27/54

After I Enter My First Set of A Team Points I

Click Right to Finish the Operation

I will then click

The weird looking

Save box to

Save my work.


28/54

The Saved Points Turn Blue

Now Im Going to Close That Set of


29/54

Now I m Going to Close That Set of

Building Corner Points and Put in

Some Others I left click theGolden box to take

Building Corners

Out of edit mode


30/54

As You Can See One Click Does

the Job

I Will Close My Building Corner


31/54

I Will Close My Building Corner

Points Because I Want to Put in My

Traverse Stations

I Created Geometry Objects for My A


32/54

I Created Geometry Objects for My A

and B Teams to Put in instrument

Stations


33/54

I Create My A Team Stations


34/54

Create My B Team Stations


35/54

Im Going To Put in My Traverse

Directions With Polylines

Ill set my snap

Mode to point

Snap so I can

Lock my polylines

Onto my points


36/54

Ill Give the Instruction to Create a

Polyline


37/54

I Digitize my A Team Movement

I will right click

The mouse to

Complete the

Traverse lines


38/54

I Digitize and Right Click My Mouse to

Complete the First Part of My Line

Note after right

Clicking once my

First pline turns

Red indicating it

Is complete

Also note that I

Am still in polyline

Create mode so

I can start on

Another polyline

(useful in this caseBecause the B

Team took a short

Dead end trip)

(A second right

Click would endThe pline function)


39/54

I Digitize in the rest of the B team

travel (to this point)

I will now right

Click twice

Once to end the

Addition of points

To the current

Polyline and aSecond time to

End the polyline

Create function

Ill then click save


40/54

I Want to Do A Little Color

differentiation of my teams

I will left click on

My A Team

Traverse

And then rightClick to bring up

The menu

Then I will left

Click on properties


41/54

The Object Properties Window

Opens

Left click on the

Color pallet


42/54

I Think I Will Turn the A Team

Purple


43/54

I Also Think I Will Put Some

Direction in the movement

Ill check off to

Put arrow heads

On the plines

I will choose my

Arrow head style

And I will choose

My size

Pick the polyline

tab


44/54

Why Im So Impressed Ill Do it For

the B team too!

S


45/54

ThereBut There Is Something Id

Like to Take a Better Look At

I C U M M K f


46/54

I Can Use My Mouse Keys for

Zooming Functions

Hold down the

Left mouse key

And center buttoOr scroll and

Move up or down

To zoom out or

in


47/54

In This Case Zooming in Took What I

Was Interested In Out of the Picture

Hold the

Center and right

Keys down toPan


48/54

I Knew You Were Going to Ask

What happens if

You hold down the

Left and right keys

The picture rotates

(this is usually not

Good for us

Because we want

A plane with northU


49/54

To Restore Things

Click the north

And east plane

View icon

Check to make

Sure the azimuthIs 0 for azimuth

To top of page

And the dip is

-90 (meaning you

Are lookingStraight down

From above){NoIm not trying to

Make you think you

Are God}

What Is Wrong With This Picture?

Survey Team B

Worked their

Way forward to

Point B3

And then did an

About face and

Went the other

Way instead

Of heading

Around theBuilding.

Why do I think

There is a bust in

The angle turned

At B3?

I Thi k I Will T O t th C


51/54

I Think I Will Trace Out the Corners

of the Engineering Building

I will create a

Geometry object

To hold the

Plines

Representing the

walls


52/54

Trace It On Out

Ill do a couple

Right clicks and

A save to finish

this


53/54

What is Wrong With This Picture?

We know this side

Of the Engineering

Building runs in

The same over-all

North East to

South West Direction

That first point looks

A little suspect


54/54

Isnt It Wonderful to Have a

Drawing Tell You What to

Resurvey?
