    Default Shrink wrap a surface?

    I'm working in Civil 3D 2012 (and I'm fairly new to AutoCAD...) Is there a shrink wrap command? I've created a surface and one edge/boundary is looking kinda funky...
    Thanks!

    Hummmm... Being a newbie I guess I don't speak CAD pretty..??? Anywho, I figured it out. After I changed the surface style to EG Tin (instead of the contours that I had before) Click the Surface tab- then edit Surface - then delete Line - then just click the TIN lines you want eliminated from the surface! Now the edge that was looking funky has be forced to the points I want them to go to! Pretty basic drafting and design question I know BUT I thought I'd get a quick response from AUGI users...

    These boards seem to have fairly slow response times. For quicker responses you may want to try the Autodesk C3D forum There are other methods to accomplish what you wanted. Set the Maximum triangle length in the Surface build options often solves the errant TIN lines. You could draw a rough polyline for the boundary, then add it to the surface as a boundary.
