We picked an End-Point on the upper track.

XTrackCAD has computed the Elevation (2.34") at this point based on the Elevation at the siding and a combination of the of the first Elevations.

We create a Computed Elevation here that will be automatically adjusted whenever the other Elevations are changed.

The Compute Elevation is based on Elevations at end of both of the branches.  We may want to base the Elevation on only one branch.  For example if one branch was the mainline we don't want the other branch affecting this Computed Elevation.

We do this by Ignoring the branch we don't want.

We'll ignore the lower branch.
