Ramp design

The dig blocks required to create a ramp can be designed in XECUTE. To create a ramp design click the Draw Ramp icon in the radial menu. The ramp will be created from the first drawn vertex elevation or the Starting Elevation and follow a Projection Angle along the mining direction.

Complete the ramp design options as required.
