- Editing Contour Data
-
Before you add contour polyline data to a surface, consider whether it includes some terrain that is not needed for design purposes. If so, you can use the AEC modify tools to crop unwanted portions of the contours. These tools are available on the right-click menu when no objects are selected: AEC Modify Tools > Drop.

- Controlling the projects to display in prospector
-
If you have a large number of projects in your Vault, they will all be displyed under the Projects collection in the Prospector by default. If you would like to limit the number of projects displayed, from Prospector, right click on the Projects collection (need to be logged into the Vault) and select Set Projects to Display. In the list that opens, toggle off any project you do not wish to see in your Projects collection on the Prospector tab of Toolspace. Select OK when done, and the list will update to reflect the changes.
