Introduction

This command converts Civil 3D surfaces into equivalent Civil Site Design Surfaces.  This can be useful, as some actions in Model Viewer (such as displaying contours) require a Civil Site Design Surface, users can use the Grading Volume tool when comparing with a Civil Site Design surface and it eases export to non-Civil 3D users (particularly useful in an office where there are multiple Civil Site Design users on different CAD platforms).

Details

Upon selecting the command the user is presented with Civil 3D surfaces to convert.  Select the Civil 3D surface to convert and process.  The surface will then display in the Civil Site Design surface list.
