Importing the Catch Points and Daylight Lines
into the Drawing
A catch point is the point where a design slope matches into the existing
ground surface. To bring these points into the drawing, use the Catch Points To
DWG command on the Cross Sections menu.
The Catch Points To DWG command imports points at the location where
existing and finish ground meet. It also imports the daylight lines connecting
them.
NOTE
Process the cross sections with the Edit Design Control command before
using the Catch Points To DWG command.
