Zoning
Generates buffer ("safety") zones — uniform offset boundaries — around elements found on the source level(s).
macro vba run [ARES]EditZoningOptions
Opens the Zoning options dialog (configures the variables below).
macro vba run [ARES]RunZoning
Generates buffer zones: distance from ARES_Zoning_Distance (2.0 m), rounded caps, all zones merged into one region.
macro vba run [ARES]RunZoning2
Tighter second pass: distance from ARES_Zoning2_Distance (0.2 m), flat (square) caps, per-element sub-zones fused but zones from different elements not merged.
| Variable | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
ARES_Zoning_Level |
(empty) | Source level name(s) whose elements get buffered (| separated). Empty = nothing processed. |
ARES_Zoning_Distance |
2.0 | Buffer distance (master units) for RunZoning. |
ARES_Zoning2_Distance |
0.2 | Buffer distance for RunZoning2. |
ARES_Zoning_Output_Level |
ARES_Zoning | Level the generated zones are written to (also the level read by Zone Export). |
ARES_Zoning_Output_Color |
5 | Output color index. |
ARES_Zoning_Output_Style |
0 | Output line style. |
ARES_Zoning_Output_Weight |
4 | Output line weight. |
