Criteria
Question:
I have been using these files for the past 2 months and now when I try to run the criteria file because of an
adjustment on det3rev, I get a message:
"No matching XS Cells found for given XS Pattern Lines"
Criteria seems to stop working. Can you explain what can be the cause?
Answer:
The error normally occurs when the horizontal alignment has changed or shifted since the existing ground cross
sections were initially cut. Particularly, the baseline horizontal XY coordinates stored in the GPK file do not
match what are drawn in the XSC file. For example, in this situation, there was an alignment shift for -L- (XS baseline) instead of just the revised detour horizontal alignment. Chain -L- at station 140+00;
GPK
N 563,925.0361
E 687,220.2258
When Criteria tries to match the two coordinates, an error will occur and the process comes to a halt.
To resolve this issue, anytime the horizontal alignment has been shifted and restored back to the GPK,
re-cut the existing ground cross section in the XSC first. Then run Criteria for the proposed template on the
updated chain location.
Note that this error can occur when processing Criteria cross sections "by pattern lines" or "by stations".
The above situation is from cutting cross sections "by stations". It makes no difference and has the same effect.
