Color Surface By Layer

This command sets the color of the triangles in a triangulation file for the areas within closed polylines using the layers and color assignments from Define Layer Surface/Material/Subgrade. The colored areas of the triangulation surface can then be viewed in commands like Surface 3D Viewer. For example, this command can set separate colors on the triangulation for pavement areas, building pads, ponds, etc.

The color assignments should be set before running this command by using Define Layer Surface/Material Subgrade. This command only prompts for which triangulation file to colorize. Then use a viewer command like Surface 3D Viewer to see the colored surface.
