Grain Critical Option

Updated November 23, 2021

Select this option if paper grain is important. When checked, the system will restrict the range of possibilities when calculating “outs”. Realize that columns on the left represent “Width” and those on the right “Length”. With Grain Critical selected, then, "Width" fields will be compared to "Width" fields and "Length" fields to "Length" fields for the “Outs” calculation.
