Surface

[Anonymous]

Hi all. I haven't work on C3D in 2 years. I have two surfaces. One a pond and the other a river flowing out. I can't seem to join the two and open the gap on the pond outlet. Any suggestions?

Welcome back to C3d

ok, you need to join two surfaces.  

I would create a new surface, that will contain both surfaces.

that way if you have to change one of the original surface the combined will update.

ok, 

Surface

Create New Surface (ope dialogue and give a name)

go to Toolspace

expand the New Surface

scroll down and find and select Edits

Merge surface

pick one surface and OK

now you have added one of the surfaces to New Surface

and repeat the Merge surface for the second surface

and now you have both added as one surface

select the New Surface and turn on the tin lines

select Surface from the top of screen menus

Edit surface and flip or add lines as needed to fill in any holes or problem areas.

You can delete points from the surface and make the outfall hole as needed.

good luck,

Hi all 

Thank you for the responses. I actually got it sorted and the surfaces work perfect

The client came back and ask to put in the original NGL, the one that was worked

on was back filled. How do i move all the alignments and corridors from the 

existing surface to the new surface without redoing the whole design.

Also i need to put in a step in the embankment and move the service roads 900mm 

out. the drawing is too big to to mail.
