Hoping this question is a fairly straightforward one but I haven't found a solution online. I'm trying to make my proposed terrain match the existing terrain at the boundary of the proposed work. What's the best way to accomplish this?
Thank you!
The boundary is currently set to a single elevation. I'm seeing an "Element not valid for tool" notice when attempting to open the profile model of the boundary.
You can use the Profile from Surface tool from your plan view without opening the profile view.
I'm not certain how the profile view would handle a closed element, so that could be the issue with that.

It could also be that at the moment the boundary doesn't have a feature. If the boundary is a simple cad line at an elevation you can't set a profile.
Thank you both for the help.
I am getting the "Element not valid for tool" message when attempting to set a Terrain Feature Definition AND when attempting to use profile from surface. I also attempted this after breaking the shape into a line string, which did not work.
Where did this boundary come from? Is it something you drew? Is it a 3D line in your 3D model?
Is it dependent on your proposed design features - defined as 4:1 slope for 20' for example? If that's the case, it already has an elevation based on your design.
I'll admit, I've never tried to use contours to create a proposed terrain. Usually my proposed contours are a product of my design, not the source.
It's possible you will have to add some other type of design element to project from your contoured region down to existing ground. This could probably be done with a simple linear template along the lowest design element.
