The Surface type exposes the following members.

Methods

  NameDescription
Public methodComputeFingerPrint
Compute FingerPrint of the Entity.
(Inherited from Entity.)
Public methodCreateSnapshot
Creates a snapshot that contains the current state of points and triangles resulting from previous Surface operations. A snapshot can improve the performance of Surface builds from subsequent operations.
Public methodExportToDEM(String, String, Double, ExportDetermineElevationType)
Exports the Surface to a DEM file.
Public methodExportToDEM(String, String, Double, ExportDetermineElevationType, Boolean, Single)
Exports the surface to a DEM file, with an optional custom value for null elevation.
Public methodFindDirectionAtXY
Gets the direction of the Surface at the specified location (x, y).
Public methodFindElevationAtXY
Gets the elevation of the Surface at the specified location (x, y).
Public methodFindPointsAlongLine
Gets the points on the surface along the specified line segment.
Public methodFindSlopeAtXY
Gets the slope of the Surface at the specified location (x, y).
Public methodGetBoundedVolumes(Point3dCollection)
Calculates the volume of an area defined by several points.
Public methodGetBoundedVolumes(Point3dCollection, Double)
Calculate the volume of an area defined by several points.
Public methodGetGeneralProperties
Gets the general properties of the surface.
Public methodGetIntersectionPoint
Gets the intersection point with surface by the specified point and vector.
Public methodGetReferenceInfo
For Data Shortcut reference entity (IsReferenceObject == true), gets the entity's reference information.
(Inherited from Entity.)
Public methodRebuild
Rebuilds the surface by processing all the operations one by one in the list.
Public methodRebuildSnapshot
Rebuilds the snapshot for the surface.
Public methodRemoveSnapshot
Removes the existing snapshot for the surface.

Properties

  NameDescription
Public propertyAnalysis
Gets a SurfaceAnalysis object that exposes the surface analysis properties for the Surface.
Public propertyApplication
Gets the Application. Not currently implemented.
(Inherited from Entity.)
Public propertyAutoRebuild
Gets or sets whether to rebuild the surface when surface definition is changed.
Public propertyBoundariesDefinition
Gets the collection of boundaries associated with the Surface.
Public propertyBuildOptions
Gets an object that encapsulates options applied to building or re-building a Surface.
Public propertyDescription
Gets or sets the Entity object's description.
(Inherited from Entity.)
Public propertyDisplayName
Gets the Entity object's display name.
(Inherited from Entity.)
Public propertyDocument
Gets the Document. Not currently implemented.
(Inherited from Entity.)
Public propertyFingerPrint
Gets or sets FingerPrint of the Entity.
(Inherited from Entity.)
Public propertyFolderId
Gets the folder ObjectId of the Entity Returns ObjectId::Null if the Entity is located in root folder
(Inherited from Entity.)
Public propertyHasSnapshot
Gets a boolean value that specifies whether the surface has a snapshot.
Public propertyIsOutOfDate
Gets whether this surface is out-of-date.
Public propertyIsReferencedSourceExisting
For reference object (IsReferenceObject == true), it will try to get its source entity while opening a drawing. This indicates whether the reference object has source entity.
(Inherited from Entity.)
Public propertyIsReferenceObject
Gets whether the Entity is a reference object. A reference object is located in another drawing, and linked using a data shortcut or Vault. If the entity is native to the current drawing this property returns false; if it is being referenced via data shortcuts or AutoCAD Vault it returns true.
(Inherited from Entity.)
Public propertyIsReferenceStale
For reference objects (IsReferenceObject == true), gets whether the Entity object's reference is stale.
(Inherited from Entity.)
Public propertyIsReferenceSubObject
For reference objects (IsReferenceObject == true), gets whether the Entity is a reference subobject. For example, when iterating through the structure of a pipe network referenced from another drawing, this property is true for each entity.
(Inherited from Entity.)
Public propertyIsReferenceValid
For reference objects (IsReferenceObject == true), gets whether the Entity object's reference is valid.
(Inherited from Entity.)
Public propertyIsSnapshotOutOfDate
Gets whether the snapshot in the surface is out-of-date.
Public propertyIsUsed
Gets whether the style is used by other objects in the current drawing.
(Inherited from Entity.)
Public propertyIsVolumeSurface
Gets whether the surface is a volume surface.
Public propertyLock
Gets or sets whether the Civil 3D GUI shows this surface as locked.
Public propertyMasks
Gets all the masks in the Surface.
Public propertyName
Gets or sets the Entity object's name.
(Inherited from Entity.)
Public propertyOperations
Gets the operation list for the Surface.
Public propertyShowToolTip
Gets or sets whether to show tooltips for the Entity.
(Inherited from Entity.)
Public propertyStyleId
Sets the Surface's style Id.
(Overrides Entity..::..StyleId.)
Public propertyStyleName
Gets or sets the Entity object's style name.
(Inherited from Entity.)
