Tips on Runcutting
It is important to take time to think about the option you are selecting when instructing BlockBuster to perform a type of runcut.
Matching Runs with Block Data
The Match Runcutter dialog allows you to match your run data with your block data.

Matching Runs with Block Data

The Match Runcutter dialog allows you to match your run data with your block data.

Instances when you may need to use this feature are:

After changing a block and you load a scenario, the run data does not match the block data in the scenario.
After you have copied scenarios using FX Copy. (You must have the necessary security permission to run FX Copy.)

When the run data does not match the block data in the scenario, a message appears asking you if you want to match the runs. If you click Yes, the Match Runcut dialog appears.

Perform the appropriate step:
1. To match the trips, select the Trips option.
2. To match the blocks, select the Block option. Change the value in the Maximum Relief Offset field, if necessary. The value is set to 10 minutes by default.
Click OK.
The Status field shows the number of runs that match.
