I have a Terrain Model created from multiple Fieldbooks and appended using the "Create Complex".
I've managed to delete all the pieces of DTM's from each day, and have the one final DTM.
I have made several edits, like deleting triangles along the edge and adding some features.
I played with the Contour interval to locate rod busts.
Certain editing commands, or maybe toggling on and off triangles have caused my edits to revert.
I have no more Fieldbooks, they have been "STRIPED", yet my edits are not always being held.
Why?
Should I export to Land XML and re-import, then work on this surface?
I have toggled the "de-activate rules" back and forth to see if this is the problem.
Are my edits becoming "rules".
I can't find any video or help on this problem.

I was just about to post this exact topic, and discovered a work around. Follow these steps:
1) Once you have built a solid terrain model, with all your edits, export this terrain model as a TIN.2) Re-visualize this TIN using the legacy tools as a mesh.3) Create a new terrain model using “Create from Elements” tool using this mesh.4) Remove all rules associated with this new terrain model5) Add new features as desired6) Make any additional edits needed7) Repeat steps 1-4 again
It appears that creating a terrain model from a visualized mesh is the only way for the program to “save” any terrain model edits you have made.
This is a major flaw in this software, and needs Bentley attention. Edits should not be removed completely with the introduction of new features that do not affect the edit area.
Bentley Support Information and Updates THIS IS STILL A "MAJOR FLAW" 5 YEARS LATER.
