Use the Prospector tab to create a surface snapshot.
The current surface points and triangles resultant from previous surface operations are contained in the surface snapshot operation. When a surface is built, previous surface operations are ignored and the surface build begins at the snapshot operation.
Snapshots can be created automatically. A LandXML setting enables you to specify that a surface snapshot be created in the surface definition subsequent to the importing of a surface when using Import LandXML. For more information, see Viewing and Editing the LandXML Import Settings.
- In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, expand the Surfaces collection, right-click the surface, and click Create Snapshot.
Surface operations that are included in the snapshot are marked with 
in the Prospector tree.
