Name Zone Polylines

Function

Zone polylines are identified by their layer name. This command adds another identification to zone polylines to distinguish between zone polylines in the same layer. The Calculate Earthwork command will read these zone names and report volume individually for each name as well as the total volumes. For example, if you had building zone polylines in the layer BLDG, you could assign them different names like BLDG 1 and BLDG 2. Then Calculate Earthwork will report the volumes separately for BLDG 1 and BLDG 2 instead of all the BLDG zones.
