- To perform this operation, ensure that the surface style has triangles visibility enabled. For more information, see About Surface Styles and Visualization.
Note: TIN or grid volume surfaces do not support editing operations.
- In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, expand the surface Definition collection, right-click , and click .
-
At the command line, you are prompted to select a point.
- Click on the location for the point.
Note: If you are adding a point to a grid surface, you can add points only outside the existing border or to a hole with no points inside the surface area. This command uses the SNAP orientation (based on the spacing and orientation of the surface being edited).
- Specify the elevation at the command line.
- Optionally, continue to select other points to add, by clicking their locations.
- Press Enter to complete the operation.
The points are added as Add Point or Add Grid Point operations to the Edits list view in Prospector.
Note: The Description column in the list view displays the coordinates and elevation for the points that were added.
Adding points in this manner constitutes a surface edit, and can be enabled and disabled in the surface properties. This operation adds points to the surface definition rather than to the surface data components.
