Tutorial: Editing Surface Data

This tutorial demonstrates some common surface editing tasks, including edge
swapping, TIN line deletion, and surface smoothing. You will also hide part
of the surface using a hide boundary.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Surface Editing
Operations.
Edge Swapping
Edge swapping is used to change the direction of two triangle faces in the
surface, to create a more accurate surface model. For example, edges can be
swapped to match the triangle edges to ridges or swales.
