Criteria has the ability to perform the limits of construction in a plan view file at the same time Criteria is being processed in the cross section file (XSC). As an option, users can choose to turn on the switch to be prompted for the plan view file to draw in the slope stake lines. The variable for this switch is;

"DRAW SS IN PLAN"

By default the switch is turned off. To turn the switch on, define this variable as 1. The LOC feature of Criteria is a subroutine called from these 4 roadway side slope Criteria files.

• Local Design (ldss)
• Arterial Design (adss)
• Freeway Design (fdss)
• Catch Slope (cslp)

If slope stake lines are drawn in the slope stake plan view file (SS), then the cut "C"s and fill "F"s will be labeled only for section in transitioning. The angle of both these labels are automatically rotated tangent to the centerline for each station.

Also if bridge Criteria are used, then no slope stake lines will be drawn around bridges.

Example:

DEFINE "DRAW SS IN PLAN" 1
