To Edit Surfaces by Adding Points

1. 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.
2. In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, expand the surface Definition collection, right-click , and click Add Point.

3. At the command line, you are prompted to select a point.

4. 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).
5. Specify the elevation at the command line.
6. Optionally, continue to select other points to add, by clicking their locations.
7. 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.
