- [Narrator] So far, we've created a surface by adding points using a point group and then the software ran an algorithm to create the triangles connecting those points and that was good, but what about where the triangles weren't really correct? Location or orientation? We're going to try to align those triangles better with the edges of grades to get a more accurate and rendering of the existing ground in this video. Let's go ahead and open up our exercise for this video. I'm going to come to the quick access toolbar and choose 04 03 surface brake lines. And you'll find in here the drawing we've actually turned on the 10 lines, those triangle edges to better understand how the surface was created. So it was connecting the points using these triangles, but the algorithm did its best and you see from the bottom of the slope, it drew a triangle edge to the center line of the road. Really the edge of the pavement, this edge here is a great break. You're going to come from the center…
