Introduction

When Survey Strings are created and applied to a Civil 3D Surface, users select the surface to add the Survey Strings to as breaklines as well as the method for adding the breaklines.

When adding breaklines to a surface there are two options:

1. Add breaklines individually.  This adds each breakline one at a time, naming the breakline in the Surface definition.  This is the slowest method.

2. Add breaklines from file.  This puts all the breaklines into a file and adds them directly to the surface.  There is one breakline entry in the Surface definition, directed to the breakline file.  This is the fasted method and recommended on larger surveys.

This command allows the user to edit which Civil 3D Surface the Survey Strings are added to and how breaklines are managed.

Details

Upon selecting the command the following form is displayed:

Point Group Picklist	Select the Point Group that the Survey Strings have been added to.
Select	After pressing Select, the following form will display:      Code Set Select a Point Code Set. The Code Set is required for Civil Site Design to interpret the Civil 3D point descriptions and apply the assigned Survey String Table.    Civil 3D Surface Confirm/Change the Civil 3D surface to add the Breaklines to.     Use Breakline File (FLT) Toggle on to add all the Breaklines to the surface using an import file.  This is by far the fastest way to add Breaklines to a surface.   If unticked, single Breakline entries will be added to the surface, each named to describe the Survey String (Survey Strings are named using the Point Code and Survey String number). OK Add the Breaklines to the selected Civil 3D surface.

The Survey Strings and breaklines will be updated for the selected Civil 3D surface
