Place Point Stockpile creates bulk material storage elements which are associated with the terrain model or with existing site pads. Stockpiles are parametric in the creation and modification and are also dynamic during the placement. As stockpiles are associated with the terrain model or site pads accurate volumes and weights are calculated and displayed.

1. Select Place Point Stockpile.
2. Enter the dimensional parameters in the Diameter and Height property fields.
3. Specify a data point on the terrain model or existing site pad to define the placement point of the stockpile. Using a plan view ensures accurate placement.
4. Reset to complete.

A point stockpile is a type of stockpile that is laid down by the outflow of a conveyor. Point stockpiles can also be referred to as a conical stockpile.

The Place Round Top Stockpile dialogue allows the naming of the Stockpile. By default a name is generated but can be overwritten with any naming convention. Descriptions can also be entered.

Diameter – Diameter of the top circle of the stockpile.

Height – Height of the stockpile in meters from the placement point on the terrain model to the top of the stockpile.

Material – Selected material of the stockpile. Material selection will allow calculation of the final width at the base where the stockpile intersects with the terrain model or a site pad. Also defines the template used to display the stockpile, i.e. the level on which the stockpile is created.
