Simplifying a Toposurface

Each point in a toposurface creates triangulated geometry, which adds to the computational overhead. When a toposurface is created using a large number of points, you can simplify the surface to improve system performance.

  1. Click Modify | Topography tabSurface panel (Edit Surface).
  2. Click Edit Surface tabTools panel (Simplify Surface).
  3. Open the site plan view and select the toposurface.
  4. Enter a value for surface accuracy, and click OK.
  5. Click (Finish Surface).
