Use the Prospector tree to delete points from a surface and remove inaccurate or unnecessary data.

TIN or grid volume surfaces do not support editing operations.

The points are not deleted from any of the existing surface data components. The deleted point operations are added only to the surface definition.

Tip

To perform this operation, ensure that the surface style has triangles or points visibility enabled. See Surface Styles and Display.

Note
When you delete an interior point from a grid surface, an interior border, following the adjacent grid lines, is created.
Optionally, continue to select other points to delete by clicking them.
