WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:04.320 Welcome back. In this video, we're going to go ahead and create two very simple 00:04.320 --> 00:07.640 surfaces and then talk about surface-to-service interaction when you're 00:07.640 --> 00:12.480 doing pasting of surfaces into a new combination surface. So I'm going to go 00:12.480 --> 00:17.160 ahead and navigate over to the right hand side of my surface over here and I'm 00:17.160 --> 00:22.720 going to draw in a rectangle. From this rectangle, I'm going to go ahead and 00:22.720 --> 00:29.080 offset that initial rectangle inwards 50 feet. I'm going to do another 00:29.080 --> 00:36.320 offset of the inner rectangle by another 50 feet and then I'm going to offset 00:36.320 --> 00:42.640 that third rectangle inwards by 10 feet. So from here, I'm going to go ahead and 00:42.640 --> 00:46.280 define these rectangles as at specific elevations. I'm going to go ahead and 00:46.280 --> 00:50.520 right-click. I'm going to choose properties. I'm going to navigate this window 00:50.520 --> 00:54.840 over here. I'm going to choose elevation. I'm going to set my outer rectangle at 00:54.840 --> 01:01.560 100. I'm going to select my second rectangle. I'm going to set it at an 01:01.560 --> 01:07.200 elevation of 75. I'm going to select my third rectangle. I'm going to set it as an 01:07.200 --> 01:12.240 elevation of 75 as well and then I'm going to select my inner rectangle and I'm 01:12.240 --> 01:18.520 going to set it as an elevation of 85. So from here, I'm going to go ahead and 01:18.520 --> 01:22.080 close my properties window. I'm going to navigate over to surfaces in my 01:22.080 --> 01:25.640 prospector tab in my tool space. I'm going to go ahead and select it, right-click 01:25.640 --> 01:30.360 and click create surface. I'm going to create two surfaces. So I'm going to create 01:30.360 --> 01:35.120 the first one. I'm going to create my large surface and I'm going to go ahead 01:35.120 --> 01:45.440 and set my style as 2 and 10 background and I'm going to click OK. Then I'm 01:45.440 --> 01:50.560 going to go ahead and go to large, open my definitions, go to contours, right-click, 01:50.560 --> 01:54.480 select add. I'm not going to put a description in. I'm going to leave the 01:54.480 --> 01:59.040 weeding factors as is and the supplementing factors as is. I'm also going to 01:59.040 --> 02:04.000 leave the minimize flat areas information in here as is. So I'm going to go 02:04.000 --> 02:07.480 ahead and click OK. I'm going to do a window crossing across the outer two 02:07.480 --> 02:12.880 rectangles and hit enter and then I'm going to go ahead and go back into 02:12.880 --> 02:18.120 surfaces in my tool space prospector tab, right-click, create surface. I'm 02:18.120 --> 02:24.720 going to type in a new name and type small. I'm going to accept contours 2 and 02:24.720 --> 02:29.040 10 background as my style and I'm going to click OK. Now I'm going to minimize my 02:29.040 --> 02:36.040 large, expand my small, expand definitions, go to contours, right-click, select add, 02:36.040 --> 02:41.080 leave all of the information as it shows up in this window and click OK and do a 02:41.080 --> 02:46.480 window crossing across the inside two rectangles and hit enter. So now what I 02:46.480 --> 02:51.520 have is I have two surfaces, one small and one large and if I go ahead and I 02:51.520 --> 02:57.120 select both of these by picking a contour on the inside or on the outside and on 02:57.120 --> 03:05.400 the inside and selecting object viewer, what we will see here is that we have a 03:05.400 --> 03:10.360 downward basin and then an upward hill inside of that basin. So we're going to 03:10.360 --> 03:14.680 work with these two surfaces. What you'll notice right now is that if I go and 03:14.680 --> 03:20.000 I look at the bottom side of this, you can see I have a flat plane across the 03:20.000 --> 03:24.600 bottom of my basin and that I can see the rectangle for that hill that's 03:24.600 --> 03:28.440 inside of it. So what we're going to do next is we're going to go ahead and 03:28.440 --> 03:32.920 create one more surface. We're going to right-click create surface and we're 03:32.920 --> 03:39.480 going to go ahead and call this combo. I'm going to go ahead and click OK. I'm 03:39.480 --> 03:43.960 going to minimize my full development, maximize my combo, maximize definitions 03:44.160 --> 03:47.920 for my combo surface and I'm going to go to edits, I'm going to right-click on my 03:47.920 --> 03:52.040 edits and I'm going to go ahead and go to paste surface. I'm going to select paste 03:52.040 --> 03:57.900 surface, I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to select large, click OK. What I'm 03:57.900 --> 04:01.400 going to do next is I'm going to right-click on edits, I'm going to paste surface 04:01.400 --> 04:06.760 again and this time I'm going to select small and click OK. So from here what I'm 04:06.760 --> 04:11.500 going to go ahead and do is I'm going to turn my large and small surfaces 04:11.500 --> 04:17.160 off, I'm going to right click, select surface properties, go to information 04:17.160 --> 04:23.140 tab, drop down, set it to no display, click apply, click OK, I'm going to go to 04:23.140 --> 04:28.260 small, right click, surface properties, drop down surface style, select no display, 04:28.260 --> 04:34.180 click apply, click OK. So from here now, the only surface being displayed is my 04:34.180 --> 04:39.340 combo surface. I can check that by selecting a contour and up in the contextual 04:39.340 --> 04:43.340 room, you'll see it says 10 surface combo. This is my combo surface that I've 04:43.340 --> 04:49.020 selected. If I go to object viewer, what you'll notice is that if I rotate this into 04:49.020 --> 04:54.020 three-dimensional view, it looks identical except that when I come underneath, 04:54.020 --> 04:58.780 you'll notice that my inner surface now does not have that flat plane and 04:58.780 --> 05:04.300 that's because of order of operations. So if I go and I close this window, I go 05:04.300 --> 05:08.980 to my combo surface, I right click and select surface properties and navigate to 05:08.980 --> 05:13.260 definition. What you'll see here is that the order of operations for this 05:13.260 --> 05:19.660 surface is to add in my surface large and then to add in my surface small. Now, 05:19.660 --> 05:24.580 what's happening here is that my surface small does not have a plane going from 05:24.580 --> 05:29.820 one side of the outer edge across to the other side of the outer edge and 05:29.820 --> 05:34.900 creating a flat bottom underneath. That's why we can see the underside of our 05:34.900 --> 05:39.540 small surface being copied into our larger surface. Now, if I go ahead and I 05:39.540 --> 05:44.140 change the operation order by selecting paste, add small surface and 05:44.140 --> 05:48.700 promoting it upwards to the top, you're going to notice I get an error here that 05:48.700 --> 05:54.340 says that these need to be redrawn. I can click apply, rebuild surface, and then 05:54.340 --> 05:59.060 click OK. When I do that, you're going to notice that the contours on the inside 05:59.060 --> 06:05.140 disappear and that's because if you go to object viewer, you will notice that my 06:05.140 --> 06:09.580 inner hill is not there anymore. And the reason that my inner hill is not there 06:09.580 --> 06:13.820 anymore is that the order of operation was to add in my inner hill surface and 06:13.820 --> 06:18.540 then to add my outer surface or my large surface. So I have my small surface 06:18.540 --> 06:23.500 added and then my large surface added. Well, my large surface has this large flat 06:23.620 --> 06:29.420 plane on the inside of my basin. And so the data from that large flat plane 06:29.420 --> 06:34.980 overwrote all of the data for my hill on the inside of my saw surface. So that 06:34.980 --> 06:39.980 is an example of why your order of operations inside of your definitions tab 06:39.980 --> 06:44.660 matters is because I have lost all of this data. I had to put in my large 06:44.660 --> 06:49.420 surface first and then my small surface in order for both to show up. So if for 06:49.460 --> 06:53.980 some reason you ever did a paste surface edit, what you're going to go ahead and 06:53.980 --> 06:58.820 make sure you do is you're going to make sure that your small information or 06:58.820 --> 07:02.780 your small data needs to come after your larger information or your larger 07:02.780 --> 07:07.660 data. So I'm going to go ahead and hit apply, rebuild, select OK. And if I look 07:07.660 --> 07:12.620 at this object in object viewer again, what you're going to see now is that I 07:12.620 --> 07:17.260 now have that hill in the middle. My small surface is now showing up because 07:17.260 --> 07:20.620 civil treaty is building the large surface first and then building the small 07:20.620 --> 07:21.580 surface after that.
