InteriorPolylinesArea

Short description

🧩 InteriorPolylinesArea is a DCL catchment area and closed polyline generation suite combining seven boundary cleanup and area creation workflows.
πŸŽ›οΈ The BR2P launcher can run BreakAll Boundary Offset Region2Polyline combined sequences closed polyline cleanup or JoinAreas.
πŸ—ΊοΈ The toolset is intended for creating the smallest useful closed areas from intersecting planar curve networks.

Command:

Main launcher: BR2P
Break intersections: BreakAll
Boundary Offset: boffset
Region to Polyline: Region2Polyline
Delete open lines and polylines: DEL_OPEN_PL
Union areas: JoinAreas

Description:

πŸŽ›οΈ BR2P remembers the last selected radio option during the AutoCAD session.
βœ‚οΈ BreakAll breaks selected LINE ARC SPLINE LWPOLYLINE POLYLINE CIRCLE and ELLIPSE geometry at intersections.
πŸ“ Boundary Offset creates closed region style boundary results from selected planar path geometry.
πŸ”„ Region2Polyline converts region boundaries into lightweight polyline geometry.
🧩 Combined options can run Boundary Offset plus Region2Polyline or BreakAll plus Boundary Offset plus Region2Polyline.
🧹 Keeps Closed Polylines only deletes LINE entities and open polyline geometry from a selected window while retaining closed polylines.
πŸ”— JoinAreas closes selected lightweight polylines converts them to regions performs ACUNION and rebuilds the result as joined polyline geometry.

Helper function: (if any)​

GetBoundingBox and spline bounding box helpers support the boundary offset workflow.
Region2Polyline explodes region boundaries and creates closed lightweight polylines.
JoinAreas uses AddRegion ACUNION explode and PEDIT Join.
DEL_OPEN_PL tests vlax-curve-isClosed before deleting polyline geometry.

Functionalities:

βœ… Seven option DCL launcher – centralizes the complete area creation workflow.
βœ… BreakAll – breaks selected curve objects at mutual intersections.
βœ… Boundary Offset – creates closed region based boundaries.
βœ… Region2Polyline – converts region boundaries back to polylines.
βœ… Combined boundary workflow – runs Boundary Offset followed by Region2Polyline.
βœ… Combined full workflow – runs BreakAll Boundary Offset and Region2Polyline in sequence.
βœ… Closed polyline cleanup – removes lines and open polyline geometry while retaining closed polylines.
βœ… JoinAreas – unions closed polyline areas and rebuilds joined boundaries.
βœ… Session option memory – remembers the last selected BR2P radio option.

Result:

🎯 The result can be broken curve networks closed boundary regions lightweight polylines cleaned closed areas or a unioned area outline depending on the selected option.
πŸ—ΊοΈ The suite is suited to catchment parcel and enclosed area preprocessing.
