How to tell encounter to create vias with minimum number of row as 2.

There is single row of via on Metal Top generated by encounter when sroute is run which is violating DRC rule  that minimum number of row is 2 for Metal Top. I was going through documentation to make encounter create vias on top metal with minimum 2 rows, this is what i found but didn't work. I ran this before i ran sroute.

 setViaGenOption -create_double_row_cut_via 1

I would appreciate if you could suggest the right way to do it.

Thanks in advance

    Hi Kari, 

    I have attached the picture  for single row via generated by encounter sroute. DRC run is showing error that the minimum number of row for this via is 2. The interesting thing is if i move the wire shown in the picture, the correct via with multiple row is generated. I wonder why it's not doing that when it ran sroute. 

    Regards.
