ground. By default, the Pin Override check box is cleared:
n
When the Pin Override check box is cleared, and the starting slope in the
Depth Control Editor exceeds the edge of existing ground, the slope is
pinned into the edge of existing ground.
n
When the Pin Override check box is selected, the command searches
through the depth control criteria and applies the first slope that will match
into the existing ground without exceeding the edge of existing ground. If
no slope is found in the depth control criteria which matches within the
edge of existing ground, then the slope is pinned into the edge of existing
ground.
