User Manual

JKBMS
To add a node, first select the parent node, then [click] any
item on the object toolbar to create it as a child node.
Objects in the tree have generic and specific properties.
Both of these are accessible from the >Properties menu,
but only the specific properties appear in the pop-up menu
([right-click] on an object in the tree).
In most cases, a [double-click] on an object will display the
specific properties. The major exception is the generic file
object, which will activate the linked file.
The generic properties include the dates when the object
was created and last modified, and the name of the user
profile at the time. Descriptions, comments and notes can
also be added to the generic properties.
The specific properties depend on the purpose of the object.
o No properties - the object is only used to help define
the structure of the tree, e.g. open pit
o Description - these describe the object, but are not
used for any other purpose, e.g. top and
bottom levels for a bench
o Data Store - the object has data stored with it in the
BMS database, e.g. surface, graph, joint sets
o Collection - a holder for other, specific objects, e.g.
blasts, photos, energy distributions. Only
these objects can be added to the collections.
o File Link - stores the name and location of an external
file, e.g. generic, photo and video
collections.
o Blast Link - stores the blast and database name and
location for blasts created in the JKSimBlast
design modules.
