Telescoping and Digitizing Example

Start with a Design Line:

37-shaft Design Line

Choose Telescope in Design Line Reduction. Uncheck the box for Plot on network, so you can see the impact of the telescoping of the design line before plotting on the network.

This is the result of reducing the above design line to 8 shafts. The methodology involves dividing the rows on the threading into a few slices, and telescoping those slices into a single row. In this case, the 37 row high design line has been reduced to 8 rows (shafts).

After digitiing the original 37-row design line to 8 shafts:
