Draw 3DPoly Perimeter

This command draws a 3D polyline in the PERIMETER layer. This polyline 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. You may want to set your AutoCAD Object Snap prior to running this routine so that you obtain the elevations of existing points while creating the 3D polyline.
