Areas Of Interest
Function
Areas of Interest can be used to calculate volumes and material
quantities within a specified area. The Area Of Interest perimeters are
defined by user-selected closed polylines and each area is assigned a
name. The Area Of Interest polylines can be assigned either as
inclusion or exclusion perimeters for the area. You can have any number
of exclusion perimeters within an inclusion but inclusion perimeters
cannot be inside exclusions.
The Areas Of Interest (AOI) commands
allow you to
Tag/Untag Areas of Interest, Identify/Report Areas of Interest and
Hatch/Label Areas of
Interest.
