Introduction

The Multi Section Viewer displays calculated cut and fill areas per cross section, as well as area and volume table information. 

The determination of what is displayed for each cross section, and the section spacings, comes from the Section Volumes form.

All sections are displayed for a selected String.

Navigation is via the mouse.  Roll the middle mouse to zoom and hold down the middle mouse button to pan.

This command may be available from the Toolspace and is accessible from the Section Volumes form
