Update Database
Before you start sequencing your mining blocks you must update the Graphical Sequencer database.
To run this function: Choose Design > Graphical Sequencer > Setup > Update Database, or...
During the update process, the Graphical Sequencer will intersect the orebody model with the mining blocks, calculate the volume of each ore parcel contained in each block and store the results in the database.
It is possible to update all layers at once or each bench in the pit separately with all other layers being unaffected by the update process.
Fields on the Update scheduler database form

The only exception is ID Range which will be blank unless you have updated the database already in this session, in which case it will contain the previous value entered.
