After converting spaces to polylines, you can convert the polylines back to spaces, as described in “ Converting Polylines,
Profiles, and Object Outlines to Spaces ” on page 1618.
NOTE If the net, usable, and gross boundaries are offset from the base boundary, a polyline is created for each boundary.
1 Select the zone containing spaces you want to convert to polylines, right-click, and click Create Polyline.
2 Specify the source of the polylines:
■
To create polylines only from directly attached spaces, enter D (Directly Attached Spaces) on the
command line.
■
To create polylines from all attached spaces, regardless of whether they are attached directly or through
subzones, press
ENTER
.
Polylines are created on top of the specified spaces. You can edit them as any other polyline.
TIP When polylines lie above spaces, it can be difficult to select the space without the polyline. Try one of the following:
■
Press
CTRL
, and click the boundary. Then click until the space is highlighted.
■
If the space hatch is displayed, click the hatch.
■
Enter qselect on the command line and filter for spaces.
