Tag Segments To Skip Linear
This command tags segments of polylines to skip for material linear
quantities. This command applies to materials that are both used
for volume/area and linear quantities. In this case, the polyline
needs to be closed for the volume/area quantities but when there is
a portion of the polyline to exclude from the linear quantities,
then this command can be used. For example, curb quantities can use
a closed polyline for reporting the pavement volume/area and the
length of the polyline for reporting the length of curbing. When
there is an entrance for pavement area, there is a gap in the curb
but the closed polyline goes across any gaps. So the segments
across gaps can be tagged to exclude for the linear curb length
report.
The program draws a symbol on these segments to skip. The program
prompts for the symbol name, layer and size to use for the tags.
Then the Material Quantities report commands will automatically
pick up these tags.
