Deleting Surfaces

To delete a surface, you should open a 3D Viewer, a Surface Table or a photograph that shows the projected surface you wish to delete.

        Pick up the Select tool from the toolbar or choose "Select Items" from the Quick Access Toolbar.

PhotoModeler will change the cursor to the selection cursor.

        Click the mouse on the surface you want to delete.

The selected surface becomes highlighted.  If you want to delete more than one surface, hold down the shift key to extend your selection and click on additional surfaces.

        Press the "Delete" key on your keyboard.

PhotoModeler will remove the selected surface or surfaces from all views.  PhotoModeler will not delete the vertices of this surface.

To reverse the deletion of a surface, select "Undo" from the Quick Access Toolbar. PhotoModeler will replace the deleted surface or surfaces. Only the last delete operation may be reversed. To redo the delete operation, select "Undo" again.

Note: if you have many surfaces to delete and you do not want to delete any other points or features you can use the Surface Table or using the Visibility Settings to turn off all items but projected Surfaces on photographs. This makes selection and deleting easier.
