Minimize Flat Areas

I'm trying to create a surface from polylines with elevations. I know I'm supposed to use "minimize flat areas" but can't find where I do that. Anyone know?

Be careful when using that, I have found it to be a In accurate quick fix.

But if you are using a very large area and do not need to be extremely precise, then its a good tool.
