This command creates closed polylines that represent spoil placement inclusion areas for the spoil timing routines. The spoil polylines are created by advancing a baseline polyline by a fixed pile width. The sides and end of the pit polylines are defined by the disturbance boundary polyline. This polyline should be open at the end of the baseline polyline. Be sure to create the baseline polyline longer than the overall boundary so that the program can always find the intersection of the advancing baseline with the boundary. There is an option to automatically assign pile and site names to the polylines. The name of the first pile is set in the dialog shown below. The next spoils will be named by incrementing the spoil name by one. There is an option to prompt for each spoil perimeter width or use the same width for all the piles.
