Use the Add Breaklines dialog box to create standard breaklines.
You can use 3D lines, grading feature lines, splines, and 3D polylines as breaklines. The X, Y, and Z coordinates of each vertex on the polyline that you select are converted into TIN vertices. For 3D lines, each line that you select is defined as a two-point breakline.
To create a standard breakline
- In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, expand the surface Definition collection, right-click
, and click Add. - In the Add Breaklines dialog box, enter the breakline description in the Description field.
- Select Standard from the Type list.
- Optionally, if the object from which you are creating a breakline has curves, enter a value into the Mid-Ordinate Distance field or
to select a distance in the drawing area. The Add Breaklines dialog box closes and you are prompted to select an object.
- Select the object to define the breakline.
The breakline is created and added to the surface Breaklines collection item in the Prospector tree.
