Creating a Finished surface 3d model?

I have an existing ground surface and two more surfaces.  One of those surfaces is a fill and the other is a cut.  I'd like to see a 3d model of the finished surface.  I can see the fill just fine in the object viewer but the cut is under the existing surface, so all I see is my daylight line surrounding that cut. 

 

How do I get a 3D model in object viewer (or maybe something is better to use) that shows my final surface?

 

I guess the goal is to create a finished surface that combines all three.  So how do I do this?

 

This area is just a flat piece of ground that we are digging a pond in one end and taking that dirt to make a hill on the other end.  Pretty easy. Thanks

Without seeing a picture, Create a New Surface, Paste the EG into it and then Paste the cut and fill surfaces.

How do I cut and paste surfaces?  I just can't right click on the surface name and get a copy command to come up.  Thanks.

One way is to right click on the new surface name (on prospector of toolspace)>Select>This brings up the surface context ribbon>Modify Panel>Edit Surface>Paste>Select the surface to be pasted. You will do this 3 times to create the combined or finished surface.

And any changes to your EG will be reflected dynamically provided the surfaces are rebuilt following any changes.
