How to Define
Shotcrete as Permanent/Temporary Walls
By using the Define option, the 2d sketcher mode will be
activated. For shotcrete defined as area, the tag tool will search for a closed
boundary like lining parts tag tool. For shotcrete defined as a line, the user
will draw a line/arc that represent the centerline of the wall, that will be
tagged with the appropriate tool. In the wall tag tool, user will specify a
group name.

Once the user saves his changes, in the GUI each element
will be listed with the name specified in the tag tool and corresponding
cross-sectional area. The user can specify if this information is to be sent to
PLAXIS or not.
