View attributes for one block

With this function you can use the mouse to select and identify a block from a block model which has been displayed using the BM GRAPHICS DRAW function. The block centroid coordinates, the block dimensions and the block attribute values are displayed on a form for viewing. Note that it is not possible to modifiy block attribute values with this function.

To run this function: Choose Block model > Attributes > View attributes for one block, or Block model > Display > View attributes for one block, or...

• In the Function Chooser, type BM GRAPHICS BLOCK ID, and press ENTER.

Select a block using the mouse

Select the block of interest with the mouse to display the BLOCK ATTRIBUTES form for viewing the block's attributes. The selected block is temporarily highlighted in the graphics viewport by drawing the block edges in a thickened line. If displaying the model as a point cloud, a circle will highlight the selected block.

When selecting a block at a lower resolution than actually in the model, the average of that block is calculated by weighting the sub blocks by their volume relative to the super block that is being selected. It will also indicate on the form the amount of sub blocks used in the calculation.

Result

The BLOCK ATTRIBUTES form contains a scrolling region with two columns of information. The first column labelled `Attribute' contains a list of the attribute names while the second column labelled `Value' contains the values of the attributes.
