FIlling gaps in a surface

Is there a way I can fill the gaps in this surface? The surface is a combination of four pasted surfaces with boundaries set so they dont overlap on each other and create a mess.. I can't have these holes/slivers in it because SiteVision wont accept it.  So basically is there a command that will fill the gaps in for me?

I know I can go and draw breaklines in and add them to the surface but is there an easier faster way?

I figured it out... created a "show" boundary around the extents...

Would you be able to share the steps required to "show" boundary to fill gaps?  Thank you.

Draw a polyline around the area with the gaps, Modify Surface, Add Data > Boundaries and change the boundary type to Show. I also have my template set up with several Boundary Layers set to NoPlot

Instead of drawing polylines around gaps, you can just extract boundaries of these gaps and add them as surface "show" boundaries.

In edit surface, add a surface point (not a cogo point) to the midpoint of one side of your gapped triangle.  Use snap to midpoint, and it will suggest the relevant elevation.  The surface will rebuild across the gap.  Now, optionally, in the edit surface tools you may remove the helper surface point.
