Surface Manager
This command allows the user to name and manage multiple surface
models. The Surface Manager dialog shown here has options to name
and save the current "existing and design" surface models. The
"current" surface is dictated by the layers that populate a target
and the Make Surface command. If layers are removed from a target,
and others assigned, multiple surfaces can be created and stored.
When the Lock Status is check, the Current Surface will remain
current even if you run Takeoff > Make Existing Ground Surface
or Make Design Surface. If the Lock Status is uncheck, then Making
the Existing or Design Surface will become the current surface,
overriding the current surface selected in the Surface Manager.
Highlight a named surface and select the Set Current From List
option to make that model active. Use the Remove From List option
to remove a named surface model from the list.
Selecting the Save Current To List options brings up the Surface
Name dialog box shown here. Type the desired name that describes a
particular surface model and select OK.
