Criteria
Question:
It is a time consuming task to draw undercut on cross sections by hand. Can Criteria help automate this process?
Answer:
A new Undercut Criteria has been added to the Criteria Library to draw the areas designated as undercut excavation. Click
on this link to find the web help for Undercut Criteria.
Also, click on this link for a sample Undercut Criteria input file.
Please note that the EOP point of reference to offset the undercut excavation is located
on the subgrade (pink) line, not at the finished surface (blue) EOP as required by Geotechnical.

In conjunction with the newly released Undercut Criteria, the Draft Tools D&C Manager can be used to cross hatch areas of
undercut and hatch areas designated as unclassified excavation of unsuitable material in the XSC file.
