Introdu ntroductio ction: n: Studio RM Studio RM represents the next gener generation ation of the Datamine Studio family of products Resource modeling and mine geology geology domain specific specific Improvements to interface, processing and visualization technology and more Improvements functionality New functions and processes Ribbons replace old tool bars and menus Replacement of Design window by the 3D window 64-bit support Processing and visualization improvements Fewer modules mean more functionality is in the core product Only Uniform Conditioning, Mineable Shape Optimizer and Point Hulling have separate Licences
Studio RM: The Interface
Main elements of the Studio RM interface Ribbons replace menus and toolbars 3D View window is default visualization and editing window
Combined Sheets and Loaded Data control bar Navigation toolbar is separate and always be visible Command and Object toolbars remain
Ribbons: Derived from a Resource Modelli ng Workflow Home

Studio RM Ribbons Home: Commonly used editing/query commands. Macros & Scripts and project settings Data: Data input, output, conversion and manipulation Sample Analysis: Statistics and charting. Prepare, check, validate and composite drillhole samples Structure: Rock type, zone and structural modelling. Solid modelling, Implicit Isoshells, cut and fill, surface triangulation Model : Block model creation and manipulation Estimate: Variography, grade estimation and interpolation, conditional simulation, SMU analysis Report : Block model and design valuation, reserves calculation, analysis and reporting Format : Data formatting, legends, colouring and screen layout controls Edit : String and point editing, design tools View : View and section control
Improved Feedback and Information 3D Window
Messages and instructions are now much more visible
Improved tooltips and command descriptions Quick keys work in the 3D window
Automatic recognition of more file types More standard Datamine table types are automatically recognised and categorised in the project
Studio RM: Functionality
3D window – Lock View to mimi c Design Window
3D window – Interactive Section Contr ols
External 3D Windows
Automatically Create Section Maps Drag and drop in the 3D window now supports: bmp ecw gif jpg jp2 j2k png sid Tif, tiff honouring any georeferencing if present, or showing the Image Registration dialog if georeferencing needs to be specified
Automatic Positioning of Georeferenced Images You can now generate a georeferenced world file automatically, based on the draped image settings in the 3D window
This file then gets used to automatically display images in their correct location each time the project is opened
3D Window Enhanced Labelli ng Enhanced labelling in the 3D window for all data types
Block Models
Drillholes
Points
Surfaces
Strings
Accurate Display of Mod el Intersection with Surface Pit floor Coloured using intersection with Blastability Index Model
Use the new Cell Accurate option in wireframe display formatting to get a better understanding of your data
Lithology Intersection with surface (Fence Diagram)
Occurrence of grade on ore body outline
Enhanced Section Management Create, edit and use section definition files to step through different views of your data
3D Templates Save display settings to a template and rapidly switch between the saved formats All data types are supported
ALS CoreViewer
Users of CoreViewerTM from ALS can now access it directly from the Sample Analysis Ribbon within Studio RM
Studio RM: Processes
New Model Reblocking process REBLOCK Re-blocks a model to new X, Y and Z parent cell sizes. The origin of the model remains unchanged
Optionally create a model containing only parent cell sizes Useful for preparing model for strategic planning Deals properly with dominant and additive fields A replacement for the REGMOD process
New Swath Plot process SWATHPLT create data files that are suitable for automatically creating swath plots in Studio or Excel
Updated Tonnes & Grade process TONGRAD has a new option to automatically convert absent values in grade and density fields to their default values
New output files for fast generation of tonnage grade curves
New Processes in Studio RM MODSPLIT: split a Datamine cell/subcell model using an input wireframe to create a new model that is constrained by the wireframe
Useful for creating mine planning and reserve models, e.g. from MSO output Deals properly with additive and dominant model attributes Much easier process than separately using TRIFIL, ADDMOD and EXTRA processes MIKSCELL: take a model created by Multiple Indicator Kriging (MIK) and convert it into a model that is suitable for input to NPV Scheduler
Process Improvements The following functions are much faster in Studio RM than Studio 3 Merge-selected-strings Generate-outlines General 3D string editing (particularly with labels) TRIVAL and TRIVOL with verified wireframes Scatter plots / line charts with large amounts of data
Rotated Model Support The TRIVAL and TRIFIL can process rotated models automatically The new MODSPLIT processes detects rotated models automatically
Extended Precision Project Files
Studio RM only creates extended precision project files (RMPROJ files) Single and extended precision data files will continue to be supported
