Draw Building Envelope Polyline
This command creates a rectangular polyline around selected
linework. This can be used to give a building all one elevation.
Select the entities that make up the building. Next
you will be prompted to name the layer and In the dialog, you can
set the layer name for the new linework, set one offset distance,
or select to be prompted for each side to offset. Also, you can set
the elevation of the envelope and trim crossing linework to ensure
you have a flat pad.

tolerance. For example, if you select None you may get a Building
Envelope of 37.4 x 25.2. However, if you set the Length Snap
