Creates a partial reference surface with a specified boundary in the host drawing according to the host database, source drawing file name, surface name, and boundary object ID.

Namespace: Autodesk.Civil.DataShortcuts
Assembly: AeccDataShortcutMgd (in AeccDataShortcutMgd.dll) Version: 13.8.0.292
Syntax
Copy
public ObjectId CreatePartialReferenceSurface(
	int index,
	Database hostDrawing,
	ObjectId dRefBoundaryId
)
