Is it possible to turn on the visiblity for the spot levels that you enter when creating a topographic surface?
I can't see a visibility setting, which makes me think no.

While you are entering the levels, you cannot see or turn on text, for the other levels entered.
You can set up spot elevation tags for existing levels if are amending a topo and these remain visable during the edit.

Ahh, I see :shock: I have to use a 'Spot Elevation' that is associated with the topo. Thats works well.

further to Chad's question - can the perimeter edge of the topo surface be made invisible in plan view?

If the perimeter edge is not visible in plan view, then the whole topo is invisible since there is no surface pattern associated with a topo in plan.

So .... a) turn off topo in Vis Graphics, or b) set the view depth to be above the topo.
Topo gone.

Just interested, > why do you want to turn off the topo edges in plan ?

just a personal visual presentation thang - see attached. The topo site created is not pure geometry which I like (yes I could make it pure but better things to do like pay bills, and.....this would visually indicate the earth/site extending beyond the edge, which kinda makes sense as well.
