Rebuild Inside Perimeter

This command rebuilds a triangulation surface within a perimeter. The perimeter is selected using a closed polyline. The command embeds the perimeter polyline into the triangualtion using the elevations of the triangulation. Then the triangles within the perimeter are removed. Next the area within this area is retriangulated using the elevations around the perimeter.

One application of this command is to discard a problem area of the triangulation and rebuild this area using the good elevations around the perimeter of this area.
