Draw 3DPoly Perimeter

Function

This command draws a 3D polyline in the PERIMETER layer. This is one way to generate the polyline that is required by the Calculate Stockpile Volume and Calculate Pond/Pit Volume routines. In these routines, this polyline is used as the inclusion perimeter for volumes. If you are using Carlson drawing points to define the polyline, make sure they are present in the drawing at their real Z elevation, and then set your AutoCAD Object Snap to Insert prior to running this routine. Alternatively, you can use point numbers from the current coordinate (.CRD) file.  A third option is to obtain the elevations of picked points from a specified surface model.

Prompts

Ignore Z values of picked points (.XY filter) [Yes/<No>]: Y Using the .XY filter allows the user to pick the X and Y coordinate from the screen and type in the elevation. If you use the N response then the Z coordinate of the point picked will be applied.
Use surface model from file [<Yes>/No]? Y Select surface model file.
Number/<Pick point>: pick a point
Number/Close/Undo/<Pick point>: N
Close/Undo/Pick point/<point Number>: 15 This is a point number from the current coordinate file.
Close/Undo/Pick point/<point Number>: press Enter Pressing Enter ends the command.
