Move Area
Move Area tool moves surface model points up or down by a given distance. The tool modifies the elevation of all points inside or outside a fence.
You can enter the distance as a key-in value or with a data point.
The fence can be defined by a fence or shape element. Valid element types include shapes, complex shapes and ellipses.
To move area points:
1. Place a fence or a shape element to define the area. (Optional) Select the shape.
2. Select the Move Area tool.
The Area move up/down dialog opens:

3. Define settings.
4. Identify the bounding shape for the area, if a shape element is used and not selected already.
5. Accept the fence contents with a data click. The data point determines the distance for moving the points if Dz is switched off.
The points are moved up or down.
