 Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

There are two ways to delete an surface.  To delete a surface point, use the delete control  (image8) that appears when you move your cursor over a point in a selected surface. To delete an entire surface, use the image68 icon in the surface area info panel that appears when you select a surface.

To Delete a Surface:

1.Select a surface using the selection tool.
2.Move your cursor over a surface point. A image8 symbol appears next to the surface point where your cursor is located. Click on it to delete the surface point.

3.Since a surface must have at least three points, if you delete a surface point on a surface with three points, the entire surface will be deleted.

You can also delete an entire surface using the delete surface option in the surface area info panel.

To Delete An Entire Surface:

1.Select a surface using the selection tool.
2.Click on the image68 icon in the surface area info panel to delete the surface.
