Syntax
public sealed class GridSurface : Surface,

The GridSurface type exposes the following members.

Properties
 NameDescription
Public propertyAnalysis Gets a SurfaceAnalysis object that exposes the surface analysis properties for the Surface.
(Inherited from 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.
(Inherited from Surface)
Public propertyBoundariesDefinition Gets the collection of boundaries associated with the Surface.
(Inherited from Surface)
Public propertyBuildOptions Gets an object that encapsulates options applied to building or re-building a Surface.
(Inherited from Surface)
Public propertyCells Gets all visible cells in the GridSurface.
Public propertyDEMFilesDefinition 
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 propertyCode exampleHasSnapshot Gets a boolean value that specifies whether the surface has a snapshot.
(Inherited from Surface)
Public propertyIsCWSReferenceObject Gets whether the Entity is a Civil Worksharing reference object. A Civil Worksharing reference object is a Civil object shared to Shared Space. It is not editable. But it can be updated to the new version in the Shared Space.
(Inherited from Entity)
Public propertyIsCWSSourceObject Gets whether the Entity is a Civil Worksharing source object. A Civil Worksharing source object is a Civil object shared to Shared Space. It is editable and can be updated to Shared Space.
(Inherited from Entity)
Public propertyIsLevelOfDetailEnabled Gets or sets whether to reduced level of Detail.
(Inherited from Surface)
Public propertyIsOutOfDate Gets whether this surface is out-of-date.
(Inherited from Surface)
Public propertyIsPartialReferenceObject Gets whether the surface is partial reference surface.
(Inherited from Entity)
Public propertyIsReadOnlyReferenceObject Gets whether the Entity is a readonly reference object. A readonly reference object is either a data shortcut referece object or a Civil Worksharing reference object.
(Inherited from Entity)
Public propertyCode exampleIsReferencedSourceExisting 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.
(Inherited from Surface)
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.
(Inherited from Surface)
Public propertyLock Gets or sets whether the Civil 3D GUI shows this surface as locked.
(Inherited from Surface)
Public propertyMasks Gets all the masks in the Surface.
(Inherited from Surface)
Public propertyName Gets or sets the Entity object's name.
(Inherited from Entity)
Public propertyOperations Gets the operation list for the Surface.
(Inherited from Surface)
Public propertyOriginationType Gets origination type which indicates the surface is created from a Corridor or Grading.
(Inherited from Surface)
Public propertyPartialReferenceBoundaryManager Provides access to the manager for partial reference boundaries.
(Inherited from Surface)
Public propertyShowToolTip Gets or sets whether to show tooltips for the Entity.
(Inherited from Entity)
Public propertyCode exampleStyleId Sets the Surface's style Id.
(Inherited from Surface)
Public propertyStyleName Gets or sets the Entity object's style name.
(Inherited from Entity)
Public propertyVertices Gets all visible vertices in the GridSurface.
