Graphical Output
Unwedge provides full 3-dimensional visualization of the
underground excavation and wedge model using advanced shading and
transparency algorithms. For more information about the many viewing
and display options available in Unwedge, see the Unwedge
Viewing
Options page.
Screen captures for 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional views can easily
be generated in a variety of formats including BMP, JPG and DXF. The
images can then be included in reports and presentations.

Graphical Output: Exporting Images
Screen captures (images) can be created by saving directly to a file
(Export Image File option) or by using the Copy option to copy the
screen to the clipboard. The Export Image File option
allows you to save the current view directly to either a .JPG or .BMP
file.
Export Image option.
The Copy option will copy the current view to the
Windows clipboard. It can then be pasted directly into reports or
other applications for editing / saving. For chart views (i.e. Tunnel
Axis Plot), the Copy option can be configured to copy the chart in
one of 3 formats: .BMP, Metafile (.WMF) or Enhanced Metafile (.EMF).

Graphical Output: Export DXF
The Unwedge model can also be exported as a DXF file. This
includes the excavation, wedges and support (e.g. bolts). The DXF
file can be either 2D or 3D, depending on the current view.
 |
For 2-dimensional views (e.g. Opening
Section, Support Design,
Stereonet), the Export 2D DXF option
will save the 2D coordinates
of all entities in the view.
For 3-dimensional views (e.g. 3D Wedge view, perspective view),
the Export 3D DXF option will
save the 3-dimensional coordinates
of all entities in the view. |
Export DXF option.
The Export DXF option can be used to export an Unwedge
model into AutoCAD. It can also be used to export an Unwedge
model (Opening Section and Support) to the program Phase2
(finite element analysis and support design for excavations), also
available from Rocscience.

Graphical Output: Grayscale
The Grayscale option will convert all colours to shades of gray with
a single mouse click. This can be useful for black and white screen
captures or sending images to a black and white printer.

Graphical Output: Printer Page
Setup
For printing, Unwedge has a Page Setup option available directly
in the program, which allows you to setup page margins and other printing
options. A particularly useful feature is the ability to automatically
include the wedge analysis information, along with printouts of the
model.
