This routine takes two adjacent pits or blocks and
merges them to create just one. Routines such as Pit Matrix Layout
can sometimes leave small irregular shaped pits along complex
boundaries. Usually, the user would like to combine or add a small
sliver of a pit with an adjacent one so that the volume is
reported, but not as its own tiny pit. Pick first in the pit you
want to keep, then in the pit you want to remove. A new polyline is
drawn around both, representing the new pit with the same name as
the first pit you picked inside of. The last step is to simply
erase the text of the smaller, deleted pit (if they were labeled).
If a pit is selected on or near a line, then the pit is highlighted
and you are prompted to hit Enter to accept the pit or press N to
highlight the other nearby pit. The volumes are combined if they
are stored in the pits as values.

merge:
Pick inside 2nd pit polyline to merge:
