This article reviews a potential possibility to combine a 2D-mining plan with a 3D-terrain model, resulting from a laser scanner survey which allows improving existing mining graphic documentation owing to advantages of laser scanning as compared to classical techniques utilizing optical and mechanical instruments and distance-measuring theodolites. These advantages include high precision, data reliability and simplicity of the 3D-model application. These qualities combined with the information capacity plan of the plan help to work out a 3D-mining plan, which is precise and easy to use.
