To Exclude Data Operations From the Surface Build

You can exclude operations from the current surface build while preserving them in the surface definition list. Excluding data is useful for comparing scenarios. For example, you can add additional points to a surface from a point file, and later disable the Add Point File operation. The surface will revert back to the original (pre-point file) triangulation.

1. In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, under the Surfaces collection, right-click the surface and click Properties.
2. In the Surface Properties dialog box, click the Definition tab.
3. In the Operations List, clear the operations that you want to exclude from the build and click OK.

   You are prompted with a warning to confirm the changes that you made to the surface definition.

4. Click Yes to confirm the changes.

   The surface is rebuilt with the unchecked operations excluded.
