boundaries - no delete option

[Anonymous]

Sometimes I can right click on a boundary name in toolspace and the
delete option is available, and sometimes it isn't. I know I can delete
the entity and use "oops" to unerase it, but I'd still like to know why
the delete option isn't there.

I made the mistake of clicking on a feature line rather than a boundary
line when defining a boundary, so if I delete and oops the feature line,
I'll have to redefine it as a breakline/grading feature. I think. So
it would be much easier to use the right-click delete.

Thanks,
Jason

That's one of the "consistency features" of Civil3D. I also wish that
you could "delete" a boundary definition, but it seems as if erase is
your only option. Maybe this will be repaired in the future.

If you have a surface A has another surface B referencing it (such as a volume surface), any boundaries in surface A cannot be deleted until you delete the surface B that references the surface A. Once surface B is deleted, the boundary delete option is available again for surface A, just right click on the boundary in the panorama window.

Thanks for the answer. Is that a "feature"? 😉 Hopefully Autodesk
will fix that, because it hardly seems necessary to "lock" the boundary
that way.
