Runcutting Properties
Property settings effect Runcutting in the development of operator assignments.
| Parameter | Setting | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| Auto Parameters | Backup Runcut | Not in use. |
| Cut Blocks | If set to Yes, full and partial blocks are cut at a relief on the Uncut grid. | |
| Hook Pieces | If set to Yes, pieces are hooked together to form multi-piece runs. | |
| Middle Shift Pieces | If set to Yes, automatic runcutting shifts pieces from the middle of a block that has been cut into more than two pieces. | |
| Shift Pieces | If set to Yes, you are able to first switch a relief location and then switch the piece as you look for a cheaper solution. | |
| Shifting and Switching | If set to Yes, the system switches a relief location first and then switches the piece as it looks for a cheaper solution. This is especially useful for run cut improvement. | |
| Switch Pieces | If set to Yes, the system switches one piece of a run with another piece of a run. | |
| Triple Switch Pieces | If set to Yes, the system switches three pieces while looking for a cheaper solution. | |
| Unhook Pieces | If set to Yes, you are able to take runs apart. If set to No, you are not able to take apart runs, for example, a two-piece run to form two one-piece runs. | |
| Graph Parameters | Block Bar Spacing | Type a value to control the space between the lines of the graph. The default value is 10, which provides a legible graph. |
| End Time | Type the time for when you want the day to end as presented in the graph (for example24:00 or 36:00). | |
| Profile Time Increment | Type the value in minutes for the data increments. | |
| Start Time | Type the time for when you want the day to start (for example, 0:00). | |
| Grid Sorting Parameters | Not in use. | |
| Max Dist from ToNode to End of Plot | Set to 200 to create sufficient radius around a point so that point (like an intersection) can easily be picked up by the mouse when doing traces on the map. | |
| Runcutting files path | Click the Select button and set the path with the browse dialog to where the file for saved run cuts is located. | |
| Waits and Travels Parameters | Pay Wait | If set to Yes, payment is made on the wait time of operators. |
| To Time | If set to Yes, payment is made on the node to node and garage to garage travels of operators. | |
