Cross Column Perp Drop

Gallery / Inter-section Routing

A `%%metro direction: TB` section fed by a perpendicular drop from a section in a different grid column. The vertical trunk stays on the QC section's own column and the cross-column feed comes over the top and drops into the trunk head, rather than the trunk being dragged out toward the off-column source.
