Polyline Snap : Using the Snap into polylines to scan sections automatically.
Did you know that the MinePlan 3D (MP3D) has a feature that allows you to use the Snap into polylines and take advantage of existing objects?
The option Polyline Snap allows using the points belonging to an existing polyline or polygon to guide the creation of new elements. That snap can be enabled through the menu Snap or using the keyboard shortcut number 4.
When drawing a new polyline or polygon, just click on a start point and an end point of an existing element. The shortest segment, located between these two points, will then be digitized in the created element, being highlighted in highlight thicker, as shown in the figure below.
When pressing the keys delete or backspace right after placing the endpoint, you can remove that added segment or, if you do snap in a polygon, switch from shortest to longest path. By default, the Polyline Snap will snap to a point on the polyline. to fit the snap along a segment of the polyline, press and hold the key 'ctrl' while clicking and dragging on the polyline. To snap to the midpoint of a segment, just press and hold the keys 'ctrl + shift' while clicking and dragging over the existing polyline.
