Creates points on a surface at the vertices of polylines or surface contours.
Points are not placed at polyline vertices that fall outside the surface boundary.
Because this command creates points using elevations from a surface, the Prompt For Elevations setting, specified in the Points Creation settings, does not affect how you are prompted during this command.
Point settings, styles, layers, point groups, and description keys can all affect how a point is created or how it is displayed in the drawing. For more information, see Before You Create Points.
