Recompute Surface Command

Surfaces can be recomputed automatically or manually. If you are editing the surface's border or the topo points, you will probably want the surface to recompute automatically so that you can see the effect of your edits as you make them. Once you have the surface the way you want it, you can switch it to Manual Recompute so that your drawing regenerates faster.

Surfaces are set to Manual Recompute by default.

To Change To Automatic Recompute

• Right click any surface drawing object (line, label) generated by the surface you want and choose Surface Settings.
• In the Advanced tab, turn off [ ] Manual Recompute, then choose OK.

To Manually Recompute a Contour

• Right click any surface drawing object (line, label) generated by the surface you want and choose Surface Settings.
• Choose Surface Tools | Recompute.
