Product Documentation

View Original

You can create a detached or static surface from a grading group.

A detached surface does not update to reflect changes to the grading group.

If the Automatic Surface Creation setting is selected for the grading group, it maintains a dynamic surface that reflects changes.

If the grading group has a detached surface and a dynamic surface, it can be difficult to view and select one of the surfaces unless they are on different layers and using different styles.

  2. In the Select Grading Group dialog box, specify the site and the grading group.
  3. Click OK. The detached surface is created.
