	SurfaceExtractionSettingsType settingsType
)
Visual Basic
Function ExtractGridded ( _
	settingsType As SurfaceExtractionSettingsType _
) As ObjectIdCollection
Visual C++
ObjectIdCollection^ ExtractGridded(
	SurfaceExtractionSettingsType settingsType
)

Parameters

settingsType
Type: Autodesk.Civil..::..SurfaceExtractionSettingsType
Specify SurfaceExtractionSettingsType.Plan to extract the grid information using the plan visual style settings, or SurfaceExtractionSettingsType.Model to use the model settings.
