    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a computer system and methods for designing a tunnel in accordance with tunnel design parameters. The computer system and methods load a tunnel design as a visual model of a respective tunnel on a user interface. The computer system and methods enable a user to select a point on the user interface, such that the point defines one or more objects of the visual model. The computer system and methods further enable the user, using a pointing device, to move the point toward a desired location on the user interface, such that the pointing device traverses a plurality of locations on the user interface. As the pointing device traverses each of the plurality of locations, the computer system and methods provide a real-time preview of the respective placement of the selected point and the one or more defined objects on the user interface. If the computer system or methods determine that the respective placement fails to conform to specified tunnel design parameters, the computer system and methods may: prevent the preview from updating to the respective location, automatically fix the respective placement in the preview to conform to the specific tunnel design parameters, or visually indicate in the preview the one or more defined objects that fail to conform.

    Abstract: Embodiments provide methods and systems for modeling a proposed geological volume. One such embodiment begins by digitally creating a three-dimensional (3D) model of a geological volume that includes one or more variables, each of which is a mathematical factor in an analysis confidence of one or more sub-volumes of the volume. Next, standardized values for each of the one or more variables are defined. In turn, the analysis confidence, e.g. mined, ore quality, etc., of the one or more sub-volumes is mathematically determined. Finally, the model is updated to include the determined analysis confidence of the one or more sub-volumes.
