This tool is used to select positions in the Display window to create points for a surface.
A surface must be made up of at least three points and the surface must be planar.
1. Select the (New Feature, Surface) By Digitizing command.

The pointer changes to indicate surface digitizing is enabled.
2. In the Display window, click the position for each point you want to include in the surface in the order you want to add them.
The Pan and Zoom commands can be used if you need to adjust the display. See the Pan and Zoom topics in the View Menu chapter of the CARIS BASE Editor Reference Guide for more information. |
Thin lines are displayed between the points.
You can select as many points as you want, but you must select them in a complete circular order.
If no point exists in an area you select, a point will be created at that location and will be included in the list of points used to create the new surface.
3. [Optional] Press <Delete> any time before saving to remove the last surface point selected.
4. Press <End> to complete the surface.
The new surface is listed in the Model window, and the surface name is displayed in the Identification tab of the Model Feature window. You can now define any holes that may be present in the surface and assign depths to the points that make up the surface. See Surface Holes and Surface Depth for more information
If necessary, you can add, remove, or sort the surface points using the Spatial tab, see Modify a Surface for more information.
