This function permits the direct calculation of areas from a single layer, but creates another theoretical layer as a straight line between the extremities of the first one. In the example below, the Final Design layer was used to create another layer represented by the red line.

The created layer is stored in the layer specified as the base. It overwrites any data that is already there.

Procedure

  1. The Chainage Range displays.

  1. Fill in the relevant data and click OK to continue. In this instance, you are creating a new layer (Layer 7) with the straight line between the design layer toe points.

  2. The following message displays.

  1. Click Yes to overwrite any existing data on the base layer; or No to cancel the function.

  1. If you selected the Spreadsheet output checkbox, the save window displays so you can select a file to write to. The drive and path automatically default to the last used drive and directory for this type of file.
