This routine places a block circle and text of measured section information on the drawing. It serves two purposes: to display the sections for plotting, and to calculate tonnage. Carlson reads the location and values of the section from the block circle and not from the text.
For blank thickness entries, the program can either assume a zero thickness or ignore the section point for that strata. Which method to use is defined in Configure .
