Conveyor General Attributes

Defines and creates the general attributes of the conveyor element.

Tag Number and Description

By default, displays the auto generated tag number. If required enter a project specific name.

By default, displays the description attribute. If required enter a project specific description attribute. The description attribute is optional but we recommend it.

Workflow

Choose from one of the available basic arrangements or one of the methods to import conveyor profile from third party data.

Select the Basic Arrangement check box then select from straight, single curve, or two curves.

Select the Import Design check box to choose From Aid Group or From Excel.

Charge position

Creates the charge position for the conveyor element, using the coordinates manually entered, using an offset by or picked from the 3D view. These coordinates can then be locked.

Discharge position

Creates the discharge position for the conveyor element, using the coordinates manually entered, using an offset by or picked from the 3D view. These coordinates can then be locked.

Note: For imported conveyors, the charge and discharge positions are inactive because they will be determined by the imported data. Finish creating the conveyor and then use the tools on the General tab to make any necessary adjustments to the position and orientation of the conveyor.
