Weeding and Supplementing Factors with Survey Figures Building a Surface

[Anonymous]

Good afternnon.

I am trying to find the place where I can toggle off the derived points that Civil 3D 2017 adds additional points while builinding a surface. The points are in red in the photo below. The olny points I want to build or create a surface with are the Survey Points.

Is there a way to Weed and/or set the Supplementing Factor with Survey Figures? I have looked everywhere for the setting and check with a number of our Civil Engineers at our firm. There is a way to do with a proposed surface with polyline breaklines, but I havn't found where to set it for Survey Figures that we use for breaklines. 

Thank you fro any help.

If you explode the figure, it will become a 3D polyline. 3D polyline a can't have curves so you'll get the segmented lines around the curves. Converting these to featurelines won't put the curves back. You'll need to recreate the curves. 

I'm not saying don't do it, just be aware.

...and more often than not, if the breaklines with curves are offset by .small values, like the bottom and inside top face of a curbline, when the arcs explode and become chords top and bottom will overlap in many areas adding a huge amount of time to the modeling process replaceing the curves.
