Deleting TIN or Grid Lines

Product Documentation
Intermediate

Use the Prospector tree to delete TIN or grid lines from a surface.

Note

TIN or grid volume surfaces do not support editing operations.

Use this command to remove:

  • Long and narrow TIN triangles on the perimeter of a surface.
  • TIN or grid lines within a pond or building foundation to create a void area to prevent contours from being drawn through the void areas.

When you remove an edge, an interior border, following the adjacent lines, is created, or the exterior border is modified to follow the new lines.

Tip

To perform this operation, ensure that the surface style has triangles visibility enabled and that the OSNAP Endpoint setting is disabled. See Surface Styles and Display.

Tutorial Exercise: Deleting TIN Lines

To delete TIN or Grid lines

  1. In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, expand the surface Definition collection, right-click , and click Delete Line.
  2. At the command line, you are prompted to select the edges (lines) to remove.

  3. Click the edges that you want to remove and press Enter.
    Note

    If you are deleting grid lines, select the grid lines, not the triangulation lines.

    The edges are removed. An interior border, following the adjacent TIN or grid lines, is created, or the exterior border is modified to follow the new TIN or grid lines.

    The edits are added as Delete Line or Delete Multiple Lines operations to the Edits list view in Prospector.

    Note

    The Description column in the list view displays the coordinates of the vertices for the edge that was deleted.
