• NEW Design in VR
   

• Usability Improvements
   

Attributes Palette - the improved Attributes Palette allows the setting of any data attribute i.e. custom fields or standard formatting fields e.g. color, before or during digitising while a change in an attribute value automatically starts a new string while digitizing. More...

Selection and Snapping - The following changes have been introduced:

• Speed improvements for selection and snapping.

• Separate snapping and selection controls for each object.

• Selection bounding box direction determines inclusion of overlapping data.

• Repeated selection can resolve ambiguity with overlapping items.

• New   snap-to-surface snapping option command.

• Extended 3D data selection options are available in Design and VR windows.

Recent Commands - recently used commands are now available via the context menu, where the last 5 commands are listed. In addition the full recent command history is also accessed from the same list. “Enter” key repeats previous command.

Navigation - mouse wheel zoom is now centred around the cursor position.

• Improved data access
   

Drag and Drop - the drag-and-drop of non-Datamine file formats into the Studio 3 windows is now supported.

Data   Drivers - the following new data drivers are available:

• STL

• MapInfo

• Vector (OGR) ( 25 formats, including Arc/Info, Atlas BNA, PCI Geomatics etc.)

• Raster/Grid (GDAL) (over 80 formats, including Arc/Info, ESRI, Vertical Mapper etc.).  

Please see the Help folder Using Studio 3 | Importing and Managing Data | Data Source Drivers for more information on the current set of data drivers.

• Improvements in Charting
   

The following improvements have been made to the histogram, scatter plot and stereonet charting:

Histograms

• Show log lines on Log histograms

• Display a user defined X/Y data intercept

• Display lines delineating Mean, Geometric Mean, Log Mean and Quantile values

• Stacked histograms option.   

Scatterplots

• Combinations of Log/Normal scales on X or Y axes

• Correlation coefficient calculation

• Polynomial regression calculation

• New log scatterplots

• New correlation line options (best fit, least squares, 45°).   

Both Histograms & Scatterplots

• Extension of interactive filtering using data selection

• Additional global chart when using Key Fields

• Display of statistics on charts

• Additional percentiles added to statistics options

• Option to add comments to charts

• Custom tooltips (value, keyfield, X or Y).

Stereonets

The stereonet interface has been completely rewritten using the latest interface and standards; includes the following features:   

• Generate stereonet plots using loaded or external data

• Display poles, planes, contours

• Define projection, net type, hemisphere, grid and color settings

• Select stereonet points and link to the point data in the Design or VR windows

• Define Sets, Planes and Cones.   

• Improvements to Mineable Reserves Optimizer (MRO)
  
  

Mineable Reserves Optimizer (MRO) and MODENV command

• A significant speed improvement when processing large models.

• Creation of the output Mined Model is now optional; not creating it can save considerable time.

• The ability to select which cells to create in the output Envelope model; creating just cells that lie in an envelope saves time.

• Improved progress messages assist to assist in estimating run times.

• Improved and NEW Commands
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Improved Commands - the following command improvements have been made:

• You can now re-run any command previously entered into the Studio command line by pressing the <ENTER> key.

• Filter commands now list all common fields for the objects to be filtered to help generate filter expressions

• dynamic-evaluation-report now supports MINED field, different weighting criteria and field-specific projection/elevation

• Point moving commands e.g. move-points-mode and move-wireframe-point have been modified to support click-click and click-and-drag methods for point selection, movement and placement.

• move-wireframe-point now supports snapping.

NEW Commands - the following are some of the new commands that have been added:

• New commands to manage plane objects (hide, show, select, filter, erase-plane , erase-all-planes, etc.)

• project-points-to-wfs and project-string-onto-wfs (previously only available in the VR window)

• wireframe-dynamic-evaluation - a wireframe equivalent of the dynamic string evaluation command which responds in real-time to any wireframe edits

• divide-wireframe-by-strings - this command separates a wireframe into individual regions or volumes by using combinations of cutting strings and optional cutting planes; the resultant wireframe can be tagged with optional BlockIDs.

• composite-drillholes - interactive composite creation functionality for static or dynamic drillholes, using the Compositor control bar, is now available in the Design and VR windows.
