Menu: Edit / Select
After selecting points with one of the selection tools, it is possible to create a surface for the VisionCivil module with the "Create surface” option. A name must be specified for the created surface.
A simplification of the surface can also be executed with a grid size setting. If the simplification is checked, a window will confirm how many points are added to the surface. The option “Use lowest points” will retain only the ground points for the surface, whereas the “Use highest points” option will retain higher points for a given area: this can be useful for the creation of a digital surface model (DSM).
The surface created will not be triangulated - it will only contain inserted points. Refer to the Civil module sections for drawing surfaces and surface management for more information.
