Deleting Data from the Surface

Product Documentation
Intermediate

Remove a data operation permanently while retaining the AutoCAD drawing objects (for example, polylines or points) on which the data operation may be based.

There are two methods to remove a data operation from a surface:

  • Delete it from the Prospector list view.
  • Remove it from the surface operations list in the Surface Properties dialog box.

To delete data from the surface definition using the Prospector list view

  1. In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, expand the surface Definition collection and click the collection from which you want to delete data.
  2. In the Prospector list view, right-click the list item and click Delete.
  3. Click Yes to confirm the deletion of the selected breaklines.

    The surface is rebuilt without the deleted operation.

To delete data from the surface operations list

  1. In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, right-click the surface and click Properties.
  2. In the Surface Properties dialog box, click the Definition tab.
  3. In the Operations List, right-click the operations that you want to delete from the surface and click Remove From Definition.

    You are prompted with a warning to confirm the changes that you made to the surface definition.

  4. Click Yes to confirm the changes

    The surface is rebuilt with the deleted operations excluded.
