Using a Toposurface
As its name suggests, a toposurface is a surface-based representation of the topography context
supporting a project. It is not modeled as a solid; however, a toposurface will appear as if it were
solid in a 3D view with a section box enabled (Figure 3.27).

appear as a solid

if a section box is
used.
