To Insert Backfill Components

Use this procedure to insert backfill detail components, such as gravel or soil, that are positioned within a boundary provided by existing linework or an existing object. In this example, the tool for inserting Undisturbed Soil has the View property set to Section, which is the only view available for this type of component.

  1. Activate the detail component insertion tool for the component.
  2. Select the object you want to be the boundary for the backfill.
  3. Click within the boundary of the selected object to insert the backfill component.
