Mine Geometry Models application
The root upgrade that coincides with the software upgrade beyond v5.9 includes a new app for creating and exporting models of mine geometry. Stope, cave and development geometry is a fundamental aspect of most geotechnical analysis. Mine geometry also varies over time and capturing these changes is critical in any back analysis or numerical modelling […]
Training video programme
We started making training videos about 12 months ago and feedback has been quite positive. At the last AGM, a suggestion came for a training programme aimed at new users to mXrap.

The 3D Controls button has also been moved above the series window and the buttons in […]

The main changes have been to support additional properties from DXF files. DXF text Text objects from DXF files can now be imported into mXrap and […]
mXrap Training Videos!
If you want to learn more about mXrap, we don’t have a user manual to read. Who would want to read through one of those! We have been writing ‘cheat sheets’ to show new users the main features of mXrap. We’re still going to try and keep the Cheat Sheets updated, but we are going […]
