Introduction
This command exports the boundary/ies of any Civil Site Design Surface into CAD as closed polyline/s.
An offset option is included - if the polyline is to be used it is preferable to not have the boundary EXACTLY on triangle edges, to ensure correct application of the boundary.
This command makes closed polylines of all boundaries - outer and internal hide boundaries. The boundary polyline is generated from the surface mesh.
