Surfaces not combing as required - help

[Anonymous]

I am using Civil 3d 2017 and am trying to combine two surfaces but when I merge I don't get what I am looking for.

The below image is when I select the 2 surfaces individually and look at them in object viewer and this is what I am trying to create as a single surface:

Next is an image of what I am currently getting when combining these surfaces:

If anyone has any idea of how I could achieve a merged surface such as the first image I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.

How are you merging the surface?   Making a new surface and then pasting in the other two in the correct order?

Yes, I'm merging it by pasting them within a new created surface.

It appears as though you are creating a new surface, pasting the 'stepped' surface in first, then the sloped (red in your picture). Try creating a new surface pasting the sloped surface first, then the stepped surface.

The pasting of a surface over-writes whatever it is on top or bottom of.

I've tried this solution but it ends with the sloped surface being completely omitted and only the stepped one being present.

I am new to the software so perhaps there is another I do not know of to achieve the first image as a single surface?

I would edit the 'stepped' surface to limit the breaklines to where you want them to start sloping, one can also paste the stepped surface into a new surface and edit that if so desired.

Thanks, this is what I managed to get a result with.

Hi @Jase28x,

Wow, thank you so much, this is an even better method from the way I did it before. Perfect!
