Adds boundaries to the surface from a Point2dCollection.

Syntax

C#
public SurfaceOperationAddBoundary AddBoundaries(
	Point2dCollection points,
	double midOrdinateDistance,
	SurfaceBoundaryType boundaryType,
	bool useNonDestructiveBreakline
)
Visual Basic
Public Function AddBoundaries ( _
	points As Point2dCollection, _
	midOrdinateDistance As Double, _
	boundaryType As SurfaceBoundaryType, _
	useNonDestructiveBreakline As Boolean _
) As SurfaceOperationAddBoundary
Visual C++
public:
SurfaceOperationAddBoundary^ AddBoundaries(
	Point2dCollection^ points, 
	double midOrdinateDistance, 
	SurfaceBoundaryType boundaryType, 
	bool useNonDestructiveBreakline
)

Parameters

points
Type: Point2dCollection
A collection that contains 2d points used to define surface boundaries.
midOrdinateDistance
Type: System..::..Double
When the boundary is defined from a polyline with curves, the midOrdinateDistance value is used to tessellate the arc segments of the boundary. This value must be greater than 0.
boundaryType
Type: Autodesk.Civil..::..SurfaceBoundaryType
Specifies the surface boundary type.
useNonDestructiveBreakline
Type: System..::..Boolean
Spefifies whether to use non-destructive breaklines when creating the boundary.

Remarks

  1. The parameter useNonDestructiveBreakline is ignored for a GridVolumeSurface or TinSurface with a DataClip boundary type.
  2. For a DataClip boundary type, the order of points in the collection should define a closed polygon, and should not create edges that cross. The first and last points must be the same.
