Excluding features from Scalable Terrain Model (STM) during generation of STM and contours

Question

While generating STM using spot heights in dgn file and subsequently contours from the STM, I would like to be able to exclude features such as roads, buildings from crossing the contours.
In other words, the contours generated from STM should not cross features such as buildings, roads etc.
Is it possible to do this in STM in Bentley Map Enterprise?
Thanks in advance

Hello SRG, 
 I am able to duplicate the issue you are experiencing, but had success when I used a smaller shape for the river. 
 1. Copy the existing river to a new level. 
 2. Drop it and recreate the complex shape to it only covers the needed area. 
 3. Create the STM.

SRG, Use the Mask option to define levels in the DGN File that contain features that you don't want included in the DTM.

Masking polygons restricts the DTM to areas outside the polygons.
