Designing Drill Plan to Specific Floor Plane or Grade

When looking to design a drill plan to a specific floor plane or grade, Strayos allows users to create a floor plane to a set degree or azimuth, and manipulate as needed. To begin, navigate to the drill design module and begin to create you drill plan. This article will walk through creating a drill plan in more detail How to Create Drill Plan in Strayos

Once you approach the last step of the drill plan set up, there is an option to enter a Floor Plane Grade. When entering a value into this field, more options will open to the orientate the plane in a certain direction. 

Based on the azimuth or bearing which users design their floor plane to, the value can be entered here. Users can then visualize the floor plane before the drill plan is created.

When initially designing the floor plane users can move the X, Y, Z planes to positions of their choosing. When moving the planes, the grade, azimuth and pivot plane values will adjust in real time on the right hand menu, allowing users to match their floor designs to specific design parameters. 

Once designed, the floor plane can also be visualized and adjusted if needed. This can be done by selecting the options on the bottom left hand corner of the screen and "Floor Plane Visualization". 

This will highlight the floor plane in orange which has been entered from the design. This plane can also be edited or changed to the desired direction, by selecting "Edit Floor Plane". The pivot point will reference the center of the AB line or drill design by default.
