Notes on breaklines<br />
NOTE: Any line meeting the following criteria is considered a break line by the program. A break line is a line<br />
between two points that indicates a straight grade exists between those two points. The program will not allow a triangle<br />
side to cross this line.<br />
1) The line is on a thawed unmasked layer that does not have a layer name ending in $X.<br />
2) Each endpoint of the line must either<br />
a) have a node at or above the elevation of the endpoint, or<br />
b) have the correct elevation associated with it.<br />
3) The endpoint elevations or node elevations at or above the endpoints must fall within range specified in<br />
surface model definition.<br />
To not use a line as a break line, you can put it on a frozen layer, a layer ending in $X, a masked layer, or you can mask<br />
the line as excluded (Surface Modeling, Construct, Mask Objects).<br />
