  New

  1. SP6-1265: SHOTPlus™ now exports surface tie-ups to BlastIQ™
  2. SP6-1496: Analytics View is now displayed in 3D.
  3. SP6-1497: All view tools added to the Analytics View window toolbar.
  4. SP6-1498: Hole tracks are now displayed in Analytics View1.
  5. SP6-1500: New 'Zone of Influence' view for Analytics View displays2.
  6. SP6-1502: Analytics View can now be synchronised with the main screen.
  7. SP6-1515: Exclusion Surface can now be calculated in standard or high resolution3.

  Information

    1. Hole track information can be turned on or off via the Visibility Manager on the main SHOTPlus™ window.
    2. The Zone of Influence view is not available when comparing design to actual powder factor or energy factor.
    3. The high resolution surface increases the number of points used to represent potential flyrock travel trajectories, and the sampling rate of these points used to generate the Exclusion Surface. Generating a high resolution Exclusion Surface, especially for larger blasts, can result in longer calculation times and may result in SHOTPlus™ being unresponsive for a period of time until the surface has been calculated and rendered.

  8. SP6-1514: Sub Lengths in the Graphical Charging Tool can now be deleted3.
  9. SP6-1524: Unused 'deck comment' field removed from Analytics View.
  10. SP6-1526: Collar indicator colours in Analytics View changed to 20% transparency.
